Racism CANNOT exist in a Black-on-white setting in a White-principled based society like ours. It might be bigotry or prejudice, but it sure as hell ain't racism.

Conclusion

There are many definitions of racism. The ambiguity has driven even the experts to exasperation. George Fredrickson cites Loïc Wacquant, "a prominent sociologist of race" as advocating, "forsaking once and for all the inflammatory and exceedingly ductile category of 'racism' save as a descriptive term referring to empirically analyzable doctrines about beliefs about 'race'."[16] The most commonly used definition is the most widely understood, if not the narrowest. The simple, ordinary understanding of the word "racism" is: prejudice against other races and the actions caused by this prejudice, combined with the belief in the superiority of one race over others. Other definitions, more commonly used in academia, focus on the sociological structure of advantage and disadvantage, and define racism backwards as anything that perpetuates this advantage when people not of European descent are affected negatively. Several definitions of racism allow for the possibility of unconscious racism. In this line of thinking, whenever the results disadvantage one group, the intentions of the perpetrators are irrelevant. Both personal and structural racism are recognized in legal theory.



Defining racism without making any reference to the existence of race provides a challenge to both language and logic. Expanding and diluting the term in an attempt to harness its potency to remedy a host of social ills appears to be behind much of the efforts to expand the definition. One result is that any mention of the word race at all, in any context, can be taken as evidence of "racism" by some definitions. This represents a departure from many earlier, narrower, definitions.

"I saw them grab this white kid who was probably 14 or 15 years old. They just flung him into the road. They just jumped on him and started beating him. They were kicking him. He was on the ground. A girl picked up a construction sign and pushed it over on top of him. They were just running by and kicking him in the face."

Then, Eric talked about trying to get out of the car to help the victim.

"My wife pulled me back in because she didn't want me to get hit. Thankfully, there was surprising a lady that was in the car in front of me that jumped out of the car real quick and went over there to try to put her body around the kid so they couldn't see he was laying there and, obviously, defenseless. Her husband, or whoever was in the car, was screaming at her to get back into the car. She ended up going back into the car. These black kids grabbed this kid off the ground again, and pulled him up over the curb, onto the sidewalk and threw him into the bushes like he was a piece of garbage."

Dedmon pummeled Anderson repeatedly as he crumpled to the street, according to officials, though this is not visible in the videotape. Finally, after the beating some of the teens left and some got into the green truck.
At this moment on the video, Anderson becomes visible, as he staggered into view and walked towards the headlights of the truck. The truck suddenly surges ahead, running over Anderson, then continuing at high speed away from the scene.
Shortly after he allegedly drove the truck over Anderson, Dedmon allegedly boasted and laughed about the killing, according to testimony given by some of the teens to detectives.

I was under the impression racism was simply dislike or hate for someone or some peoples based solely on their race or ethnicity.
