2. What is Racism? The belief that some races are inherently superior (physically, intellectually, or culturally) to others and therefore have a right to dominate them. This usually involves the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/racism

3. “Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.” - - Abraham J. Heschel “Laundry is the only thing that should be separated by color.” - - Unknown “Racism rests upon and functions as a kind of seesaw: the persecutor rises by debasing and inferiorizing his victim.” - - Albert Memmi “We hate some persons because we do not know them; and will not know them because we hate them.” - - Charles Caleb Colton “We learn to be racist, therefore we can learn not to be racist. Racism is not genetically. It has everything to do with power.” - - Jane Elliot
