The term "racist" was first coined in English by Mr. Max Eastman.
He was translating a word used by the mass murderer, Leon Trotsky, in his 1930 essay, The History of the Russian Revolution. Different translators have used the term to describe what was meant in other Trotsky articles. For example, Trotsky's 1933 essay, What is National Socialism? also contains the word "racism", as it has been translated into English.
Poster Comment:
The word "racism" should be purged from the English language. It can mean anything because it means nothing. Only fools use it, because they don't know the history of it.

Just curious - what should we call it when a person or people despise and/or hate others and engage in things that are to hurt them because of their different color skin?

Can't think of any words hundreds of years old? Stupid, prejudiced, etc.?
What do you call someone who realizes Africa is a toilet because it's full of 70-IQ Africans? Or that Mexico is Mexico because it's full of 89-IQ Mexicans?
Inquiring minds want to know.
By the way, blacks don't merely have a different skin color. Their brains, on the average, are five cubic inches smaller than whites' brains.
East Asians have brains one cubic inch, on average, larger than whites.
Freepers: hearts full of hate and cowardice, and skulls full, to quote a favorite saying of one of their favorite cowards, of mush.

Never mind. I can see now why you don't like words like racist.... Don't worry they won't put your picture next to it in the dictionary. And some wonder why America has gone into the crapper. All they need is to talk to those like you to learn why.

I'll take an Obama administration over a McBush administration any time. Unfortunately, reality requires that we deal with it. I live in AZ, I know what a sick, perverted moron McBush is.

How does it compare to your bible, Mein Kampf? As I said before even though I don't care much for Obama I'd much rather see an Obama administration than I would one ruled by traitor McCain. We can't afford to send any more money to countries like Israel who then turn around and use it to spy on us as well as manufacture and sell weapons to our enemies including terrorists.

You mean run from the evil or stand up to it an pressure them to move somewhere else? That I would support. Running from it only helps spread it.

I'm sure I could arrange for Bill Ayers to make a midnight visit to your residence and leave you a "gift". How's that grab your balls??
