They're not just prejudiced of the group because of the group's skin color. They are prejudiced against the group because they think that people with that particular skin color have certain negative cultural characteristics.

That is pretty much what racism is. It is disliking people of a certian race because of the belief that most or all of the people in that race have certain negative characteristics.
No I dont believe this at all. I have been to a number of places
that had I been black, I would have not been welcome. I could
have come in with an accent, mannerisms, everything the same
as the people present except color, and I would not have been welcome.
Based purely on color. That is the negative characteristic.
Its that simple.

The two can be very different. Obama certainly does not
appeal to black voters because of his mannerisms.

Anyways, if you want more on Helms look at his thoughts on
preventing the spread of AIDS in the US. He will not go down
as a model of our democratic society, and deservedly so imo.
Its not just race as I already represented with the Contra thing.
The body of evidence is not in his favor imo.



But I understand what you are saying. All you have to do is watch
black comedians who do the white mannerisms, or vice versa.
