The definition of racism will never be resolve because Blacks and whites look at differently. Blacks view racism as a institution or a set of written or unwritten rules that are unfair against a group of people. In order to have racisim, the group must have power. The apatheid and Jim Crow are both racist systems. Those who applied those rules are considered racists.

Whites view racism (as which Blacks called prejudice) as a person who believes that his racial group is superior to another race. They do not believe that power is necessary. Blacks on the other hand call this prejudice because power is necessary.
