“My wife and I were just having this conversation and we were going to the dictionary for ‘prejudice’ versus ‘racism,’” Smith said, Breitbart reported.

And his claim?

Prejudice is common; racism, not so much.

“Everybody is prejudiced,” he said. “Everybody has their life experiences that make them prefer one thing over another. It makes them prefer blond hair over a brunette. If you see somebody with dark skin walking down the street, you have a different reaction than you have [with] someone who is 5-foot-1 and white.”

Colin Flaherty’s book, “Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry: The Hoax of Black Victimization and Those Who Enable It,” documents black crime in America and exposes how the media and politicians are willing partners in what the author calls “the greatest lie of our generation.”

He went on, saying such reactions are completely different than racism.

“There is a connotation with racism of superiority,” Smith said, Breitbart reported. “You feel that your race generally is superior. And I have to say, I live with constant prejudice, but racism is actually rare – someone who thinks their race is superior. I don’t want to work for them. I don’t want to work at that company. And the times I have come in contact with it, you get away from those people.”
