Two things. One, all of my black friends who don't use the word ****** tell me that lighter blacks look down on darker blacks. And I've seen it first hand, so it does happen.

The other is, the term racism does not imply power. The ****ing dictionary says "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"

Seems to me that racism is the belief that your descent/gentics make you a superior collective than another group. Once racism begins to be applied it becomes an evil (such as the Apartied).


Bottom line is this, Kramer is wrong. Kramer should pay for what he said, but having double standards for things like this fail. In response to the word ******, the word cracker was used. Tit for tat. This case will never hold up in court.
