I wonder if you've believed a word of what you've written here.

That the term in these days is abused as meaning inherently the evil racial hatred towards other races (specifically "white" versus "black"), is perhaps, the product of an opposition towards the realization and conception of the existence of races and their significance, which people are kept from understanding with a social stigmatization, characterized by this one term, which people are so willing to avoid being labeled as, that they do not learn about academic racism and the reality of races. The only way to counter that, is to stop caring about the stigma when someone uses it as a straw man argument.

The definition of 'racism' implies an interrelation between different races within a same physical space. If you want to argue that interrelation in terms of negative or positive, by all means go ahead and waste your time as much as you wish to do it.

I don't. I simply do not contemplate any such interrelation within my physical space.
