  • Fear is one bad incident away from hate.

    I’m not disagreeing that racism is wrong. It’s abhorrent and a gleaming example of the fact our species hasn’t evolved outside of technology.

    But it’s ridiculously easy to be racist. It’s so fuckin easy it’s crazy. It’s like getting addicted to drugs. One instance is all it could take. One bad experience.

    This is coming from someone who used to be racist. Because my first experience with a black person as a child was horrible. A grown ass man screaming at a child due to a misunderstanding but I was white so I had to be a racist.

    It took a long time to get over that and realize why it happened but in between all I could think was black people are mean bastards because they think all white people are racist.



  • I mean not really. If you think about it from an evolutionary standpoint it’s perfectly logical.

    Outside groups are dangerous. That’s true even within racial groups. Now add that not only are they outsiders they don’t look anything like your group. That’s another layer of outsiders being dangerous. Not only are they outsiders but they don’t look like you.

    It’s a leftover piece of evolution that helped humans survive. Protect your own and everyone else can get fucked. Especially if they’re different.
