*sigh*
If this thread is going to turn into another exploration of the meaning of the word racism then I vote it be closed because there will NEVER be headway made here. I think librasoul22 is wrong personally but who am I to impose my opinion?
PLEASE let that one go.
Back to the topic:
blackface is bad.
next question?

I will attempt to wade through the words and find some sort of meaning in order to respond.
First of all, no one said that BECAUSE a culture is dominant, then they MUST be racist. It is a correlation, not causation. Here in the United States, yes, the dominant culture AS A WHOLE perpetuates a system of oppression on minorities. Does that mean that each individual of the dominant culture is inherently racist? No, of course not.
Again, I am not at all sure what your point was from this post, so I am not really sure what to expound on.
btw, DeltAlum, I have strong Cherokee blood...maybe we are cousins! lol
