The definition of racism for WHITE people, is what you wrote.

That’s not the definition for others.

And how do you measure something like internal thoughts and feelings?

I’d argue you measure it through watching actions. And reading — the cliche — between the lines.

You’re a very smart woman… maybe take a peek again and see if you can find some people of color to define racism from their perspective.

Internal thoughts and feelings, individual, separatist, etc… this is faulty logic. It’s not how everyone experiences life.

You must know that perspectives outside your own exist. So my advice to you is that you find out what those perspectives are, listen to them, try to put yourself in their place. For a moment…

You might find out something new, worth exploring. I don’t buy that definition you wrote here. It is not correct to me. Most often it is a shield that perpetuates the status quo.
