Racial stereotyping = racism?

Interesting topic.
I come from a family background where I was taught as a child that white people were superior and that other races were the products of sin and were cursed by God.
Wow what a crock of shit. Fortunately for me I was smart enough to seek my own answers and not just swallow what was fed to me.
I try in my life to be color blind, I'm not always sucessful, but I try. I see the little seeds of racial prejudice in some of my reactions to some things, but I always get mad at myself when it happens because my conscious mind despises the idea that someone's race should determine their worth.
Needless to stay I'm still working on it, but I think that the important thing is that I recognize it and try to fix it.
By the way even though it goes without saying I'll say it anyway, people who harm others because of their race, or religion, or sexuality, or any other category should die a painful death.
