What is racism? Did Jeremiah Wright say or do anything racist?

Racism is prejudice or discrimination based on an individual’s race. Racism can be expressed individually or through institutional policies or practices. Racism is a system of oppression – a nexus of racist beliefs, whether explicitly, tacit or unconscious; practices; organizations and institutions that combine to discriminate against and marginalize a class of people who share a common racial designation, based on that designation.

Prejudice. An adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge

edit: It was sitting in my drafts, and I dont' like it when things are sitting in my drafts.
