Exactly... are you really suggesting that racism is caused by races? You
really think that the oppression of blacks (for example) in North America is
caused by the racial identity of whites? Do you really think that if someone
point out racism in society that they are blaming all members of the race that
is in power? This argument may work on Faux news for some hothead commentator,
but please...

That was your idea.

I said this:

Very good. In a real world racism has no place. People cause problems, not
races. Groups, governments, military and organizations cause problems, not
races.

Likewise I would also say:

Very good. In a real world racism has no place. People cause racism, not
races. Groups, governments, military and organizations cause racism, not
races.


That is what I meant.

Then you have the equivalent of racism within each race in the form of
stratification based on various criteria,
economic, political, religious, lifestyle, etc.

So racism is: stratification of society based on various criteria, economic,
political, religious, lifestyle, etc.

Non-race-based prejudice, bias, discrimination and bigotry is: stratification
of society based on various criteria,
economic, political, religious, lifestyle, etc.
