'White supremacist' is becoming the Left's smear word of choice eclipsing even 'racist.' This leads to an interesting question: Is every racist a white supremacist?  That depends on what you think a racist is.<\/span><\/p>\n

On one definition, a member of a race  is a racist if he harbors an irrational hatred of the members  of some other race  just in virtue of their membership in that other race. It follows that blacks who harbor an irrational hatred of whites just in virtue of their being white are racists.  But presumably few if any of them would count as white supremacists, on any reasonable definition of the latter. <\/span><\/p>\n

To answer the title question: it is not the case that every racist is a white supremacist; with few exceptions black racists are not white supremacists.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now what I have just written has a tongue-in-cheek flavor. I am not seriously trying to straighten out any 'progressive' loon. For surely it would be absurd to invoke reason in the Left's lunatic asylum. It would be absurd to point out to a race-obsessed 'progressive' that 'racist' and 'white supremacist' have different meanings. <\/span><\/p>\n

Race obsession is a cognitive aberration of leftist group-thinkers.  These sick people need therapy, not refutation or calm analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n
