Main Entry: rac·ism
Pronunciation: 'rA-"si-z&m also -"shi-
Function: noun
1 : 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
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination
In that case, do you believe that your race is inherently superior? In
which particular regard(s)?
Damned if we do (help), damned if we don't. In Afghanistand and Iraq,
we certainly did. We can't do it all, and we can't do it all at once.

We should quit making deals with bad guys who oppress their own
people. We need to learn to live in a sustainable manner, within our
means, in harmony with nature.
We are a significant part of nature, and we are certainly living in
harmony with it, precisely within our means, perfectly sustainably.
All that noble leftie talk about "unsustainability" is pure hogwash -
designed by power and publicity seekers to make us feel guilty about
ourselves.
Take it easy and enjoy life: It is surely better than it ever was, and
it is getting even better. And do something more productive than
beating everyone around yourself and preaching guilt, loathing and
hatred.
