YES

Not necessarily. Racism represents racism in general but racial discrimination is a form of racism but different in its own way. Racial discrimination is when you're DISCRIMINATED based on your RACE. Racism on the other hand is anything that has to do with your race.

I'm not really sure about my answer but that's how I interpret the two.

Hate is a strong word. Blacks do not hate, but feel extremely slighted because of centuries of irrational and unfair practices in America. For example, blacks experienced centuries of slavery, while Caucasian used blacks to accumulate properties, corporations and businesses all across America for centuries. Blacks never received 40 acres and a mule that was promised by the American government. Blacks were so discriminated against that laws were made to keep them from progressing, AFTER SLAVERY. Also, blacks are very, very, aware of white privilege in America (if you are unsure what white privilege is all about, listen to Caucasian speaker, Tim Wise, on you tube). Finally, blacks must learn white history (which often excludes truth about how black people were extremely slighted throughout American history), while whites are not taught about this truth in a comprehensive process, and, whites deny the the unfair practices that continue today. For example, there was once a law that forbade blacks to learn to read, and now many whites are against affirmative action (affirmative action was created because of centuries of discrimination against blacks in the first place). Many whites are also against reparations, when blacks deserve them more than any group in America. If all Americans really believed in liberty and justice for all, and faced the ugly truth about racism in America, the irrational and unfair practices would cease.
