I missed the "definition" of feminism thread. Being african, I
experience routine discrimination in most areas of my life. I'd like
it to stop. Does wanting a fair share of the pie amount to "blackism",
analogous to feminism?  I don't think so, so I've stopped calling
myself a feminist (or blackist).  I'm not pro-black, I'm anti-bias.
Ditto for gender issues.

I invite comments on definitions of feminism and whether the analogous
statements in racial terms make me a blackist.
