Do you prefer a different definition? Do you not think that is an interesting take on the subject from an intellectual viewpoint. (Note in my post that I didn't endorse the viewpoint but just related it for interests sake. Personally, I think the church was extremely transparent in its racism and that racism started at Brigham Young). How have I revealed myself.

Of course I am. If a reason other than race or ancestry can be articulated it isn't racism. Racism is replacing reasonable judgments of individuals with judgments based on unreasonable factors, specifically race and ancestry. Is there a better definition you would like to talk about?

Main Entry: rac·ism Pronunciation: \ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi-\ Function: noun Date: 1933 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2 : racial prejudice or discrimination Since you are holding yourself up as the great teacher of all things, why don't you tell me where my ad hoc definition went wrong.

I myself took a bioethics course last year, and really enjoyed it. |

I take ethics CLE every year. I suggest you take a class in logic. It seems you are really in need of some help in the logic department. I've never met anyone who tried so hard to change the subject of every argument...especially when he is wrong.

Sorry, I must have been a fence-sitter when God was handing out logic in the premortal existence.

No, you just took your talent and buried it.

IDK, maybe you have a talent for logic but suspend it for purposes of entertainment.
