Does the past wrongs against minorities justify racism?

Racism is the belief that there are inherent differences in people's traits and capacities which are entirely due to their race.

I don't understand why it is okay for Obama to bring his children to a church that implies there is a white conspiracy against them. I thought liberals were all for peace and understanding between the races.

Update:

@ Sud. Racism is bad teaching a child to be racist is horrible. Do you think their were children listening to this pastor spew his venom and suggesting they need to fear the "White conspiracy"? How could any decent parent subject their children to racist rants like what comes from the pulpits of Obama's favorite churches.

    No, and it doesn't justify their making the areas they live in dangerous to walk through, but they do.

    Well we have to ask what type of wrong were these and why was this past wrongs commited before concluding anyone's this that or more importantly who owes who

    Actually "Racism is the belief that there are inherent differences in people's traits and capacities which are entirely due to their race" is not the actual definition

    Racism is an act of stating another person is inferior based on their race

    So please get that right first

    Now if anything there is more racism today against a soon to turn minority called White People with the long implementation of Affirmative Action which is pathetic and racist itself plus more illegal and higher rates of non-white legal immigration

    So if anything its a non-white conspiracy against the Whites these days

    But what is essentially happening here is reverse racism against White Americans and it is interesting that it is only in the media considered RACIST when A WHITE MAN says a Apparently "RACIST" comment.

    Not to mention ****** are not American and are alien to the continent itself which since its origins were MesoAmerican and since 1500s Europeans up to the Slave Trade(racial exploitation). The Africans in America should return to their true homeland Africa and sort it out

    Jimbo also I might point out that spewing this or that is the effect but what is the cause? Well when there are large buildups of a particular race and another one and in a society they are placed in the same continent Expect this and continual worse to occur Its Natural Selection survival of a gene over another

    The point of it is it happens and we need to implement societies that work with Social Darwinism as opposed to believing one can fairingly work around it So if there are 2 systematically different races find seperate homelands for them to live in homogeneous peace

    Source(s): Great experience in this topic known as Social Darwinism, Genetics and knowing really what racism is

    Live with someone from a different race then you might have a informed opinion and you would understand our cultural influences greatly affect who we are as people. Stop being so politically correct? Whats wrong with people seeing other people as different? As for Obama? He is just another puppet in New World Order machine.

    Why don't you post these so-called rants.

    While you're at it, show us the videos of the Obamas attending these "rants".

    Surely you have actual evidence of your claims.

    Oh, and there was a "white conspiracy" against blacks. Many, in fact.

    Some folks truly believe some of those conspiracies still exist today. With good reason.
