Are These The Type Of People Who The More Civilised Are Defined As Racist If They Dare To State That They Are Superior To Them?

Well, in the first place, what the heck do you mean by "we"?

But I don't mean to make any point other than saying that it's racist to regard yourself as innately superior to someone based on your race v. theirs. Which is pretty self-evident, really. As to what this adds to the discussion -- well, I don't think it does really.

Just feel free to go up when you are ready, no one on here is stopping you.

You need to make yourself absolutely clear here what your point is AOG.

I make no apology for those who obviously seem slow on the uptake.

[ummmm]

OMG...how old are you, AOG? Jeez....

[-Talbot-]

Am I slow on the uptake or was I right with my earlier post?

[anotheoldgit]

/// OMG...how old are you, AOG? Jeez.... ///

Since we are talking 'superiority', old enough to class myself as much superior to you.

I might appear a little slow on the uptake here, but what earlier post was that?

Not an avoidance, we don't want the history books coming out with what we did along with the rest of humanity in the dark ages, but we are more civilised now when others tend not to be.

Since you asked two questions in your earlier post, which one do you wish me to answer?

[youngmafbog]

Whatever you are smoking it must be good stuff AOG.

[-Talbot-]

Which ever one is applicable AOG.

After reading the question several times, I think I've got the gist.

My answer is this - I think that we are way more enlightened than those who still believe in witchcraft, and we absolutely hold a moral superiority to anyone who kills, full stop.

However, anyone who then uses a story like this, and extrapolates to suggest that one race is superior to another based on this, is inferior to the rest of us.

Spot on, sp.

[Mamyalynne]

Now then, I think I understand it now with your answer Sp.

I also find the question a little confused, but I will answer based on what I understand the question to be -

I would define myself as superior to anyone who thinks that removing bits of other people without their consent is acceptable.

That is because such an act is barbaric in the extreme.

The ethnicity of the perpetrator is not a factor in reaching that view, so I fail to see how racism enters the equation.

In short - yes I am delighted to consider myself superior to these individuals, but that is because of their actions, not their origins.
