    Obviously it's a bs thing...we all should know that, but you had the black population that was oppressed, and is still being oppressed and by not helping poverty stricken areas, they have become institutionalized within a given area or "the ******s", of course the Italians, Irish, Asians, etc, etc have all gone through some type of racism. I think the belief of one being better than another itself could still be described as being racist. The term meaning

    "the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races."

    So even your above statement is teetering on racism by kings and Queens believing others are lower simply because of their clothes, lack of money or education, etc.

    As I said, there's going to be an underlying racism forever, no matter what, this is a sad thing, buts it's part of this world.
    Royal dynasties were almost always based on lineage, which is genetic, of course. But it was the bloodline of one particular family that was "royal" not everybody else in that country who happened to look like them.

    And countries or Empires with a mixed race population often had Kings or Queens who might be what we would call a different race than the majority of the population.

    There was at least one Emperor of Rome who was definitely black African by birth .. Septimus Severus, who was a Nubian.

    The Romans accepted the Nubians as equal to themselves, because of their culture and civilisation, but they viewed the Celtic British tribes as barbarians, fit only to be ******.

    During the reign of Septimus Severus, he sent a regiment of his Nubian countrymen to guard Hadrians wall, and keep the Scots out of his empire. That's the earliest historical record of black people in the UK.

      I appreciate your knowledge of history, my only point is that while racism may not be as old as some realize, hate for other people in any way could be a form of racism and the fact that some imbecile on here is trying to speak for an entire country about racism not being an issue over there is truly ignorant. Imo the fact is that even the most popular, loved, respected, etc individual could be racist because true racism is in the heart, it's simply a form of hatred. Whether because of jealousy, envy, looks, personality, etc, it's all hatred.

          I can't wait till a strong breeze blows that dead weasel off tiny hands Trump's head.

          You know it's coming.

          He's crossing his tiny fingers already...PRAYING the wind is low when he is sworn in.

          He'll be impeached before you know it.

                  There some truth to Roy's words.

                  Most people are too dumb to look deeper into what Floyd & Trump did to see their success.
