For second I'll pretend to agree with your suggestion just for the sake of a question. If 5 people of the same different race beat me up and kill me because I'm white is that racism because in that occasion they were the majority?
Didn't hiu ask that a few pages ago?
I'll reply just like I did for him. Look, I read everything that you guys post, and when you make a point, I either use knowledge I currently have, or research to be able to form an informed counterpoint. Anytime that I have used research and not previous knowledge to make a counterpoint, I have not only posted the article which I used but also given a direct link to the web page and usually the authors name and accreditations, simply so you can know exactly what source I am using. I READ what you post, extend the same curtesy to me, or don't argue with me. I'll post again what I posted when hiu asked me that. Not saying that this is fact since, as jibber pointed out it is in fact an opinionated paper, but it represents how I would answer the question since the opinion represented in the article represent my own opinions on racism as well.

Well, considering we have been talking about Racism in the nation of America, I'll go ahead and say nation.

Excellent question.
My Neighbourhood is prodominantly "Black"
My City is Prodominantly "White"
My Country is extremely mixed.

Where's the power there?

I don't think racism is ever on a national level I think every situation is complexly unique to each neighborhood. Because of the different interactions people have and ratio of races.

Your country is not extremely mixed, at least not with Blacks which is what we are talking about here.
I've said it before.

New Zeland, demographics:

White European 80%
Indigenous Peoples 14%
Asian Descent 6%

That leaves less than 1% of your population reserved for blacks, which is what we are talking about here.

Indigenous Peoples 14% = Blacks.

Tool.

Ok so ever was the wrong word.

But if I'm walking through a black neighborhood and I go into a convinient store to buy a soda and they deny me of doing so is that racism? And in that neighborhood am I immune to racism on a local level as blacks are on a national level?

Indiginous peoples are not blacks and you know it.
Black people, as being discussed in this thread are African and were brought here(US) for the sole purpose of slavery.

They would have been noted as "African" and not "Indiginous Peoples" if they were blacks.
