Definition vs Opinion

While on Tumblr, I came across this post:






















Normally, I don't deal with the subject of race on the internet, there be trolls there, but this is a "definition" by a "well educated" individual.

This is an explanation and not a definition. It’s an argument that is rooted in a hyperbole and while it is true in a warped way, it is a sociology subject and is applicable to more than just whites. Any group, whether it be based on ethnicity, social structure, religion or interests, that is built upon a exclusionary system will be in fear of losing its power, significance and/or existence to the introduction of a majority that is unlike the group. However, in regards to white supremacy, this concept is stemmed partially on the majority overthrowing the few (much like royalty vs subjects or boss vs employees) and also on a societal evolution where the nonwhites in question developed differently and did not have a need for the prudish requirements of the European pale people. Furthermore, no race is inherently dominate to the other, unless that race is mixed race because one particular pure race has less of a chance for permanent survival than that of a mixed origin which holds genes that adapted to environments because of a reinforced predisposition for things.

Example: Sickle cell anemia

Definition: State or describe exactly the nature, scope, or meaning of.

Opinion: A view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.


Also, this is a Psychiatrist….A psychiatrist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. Racism is a social disorder.
