racism = prejudice by an individual against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group
prejudice = preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience
if i walked past a bunch of (sand)niggers whom i did not know, i would feel way less safe than if i were to walk past a group of white people. so this is a preconceived opinion, HOWEVER, it is based on REASON (statistics) and EXPERIENCE. so it's not prejudice, and by extent, it also is not racism. it would be racism if i knew them and knew that they were not dangerous people and don't fit into the stereotype, but in this example they would be total strangers to me.
now what you might say is that i am racist for my use of the nigger word. which i don't have anything to say against because i haven't thought about it so i don't know if that's racist or not. but idc, i will continue to use it because it is a funny word, if that makes me racist, so be it it's worth it
