Racism

They seem to have some idea what the definition is but not in the first lines of the article.

Racism is the belief that inherent different traits in human racial groups justify discrimination. In the modern English language, the term "racism" is used predominantly as a pejorative epithet. It is applied especially to the practice or advocacy of racial discrimination of a pernicious nature (i.e. which harms particular groups of people), and which is often justified by recourse to racial stereotyping or pseudo-science. Racism is popularly associated with various activities that are illegal or commonly considered harmful, such as extremism, hatred, xenophobia, (malignant or forced) exploitation, separatism, racial supremacy, mass murder (for the purpose of genocide), genocide denial, vigilantism (hate crimes, terrorism), etc.

Chock full of garbled English and debatable definitions (that differ from Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com).

Also note the gigantic Bank of America banner in the middle of the article.

Well then change Nation of Islam to describe the NoI as a racist religious movement instead of a Black supremacist religious movement. Then remove the sources that describe it as Black supremacist and find sources that describe it as racist. That shouldn't be hard.

yeah, good luck with that. you've already set yourself as the protector of malcolm's x legacy and shown a very possessive view on the movement.

nation of islam is a just mutant religious cult. an unoriginal one too.

To the whites and `white Jews' in the audience, I say: It's gonna be a rough ride, buddy....Buckle your seat belts...because I didn't come to pin the tail on the donkey, I came to pin the tail on the honkey...bring me your rabbis and I'll strip your butts naked

yeah, totally not racist at all.

What are you implying by bolding that particular sentence?

You appear to have leapt to a conclusion based not on historical knowledge but on your gut reactions to antisemitic rhetoric. In the '30s, Wall Street financiers liked Hitler not because of their opinions one way or another about his demagoguery, but because the German economy began to show signs of revival after he rose to power. Wall Street was also financing Japanese empire-building during this time period, over the objections of the U.S. government.

These are the kinds of things you learn in college. Speaking of which, if memory serves, you're about 17, right? How's your college application process going?

Oh the "my education is bigger than your education" argument. Always persuasive.
