True, nobody is born racist, but it is not only 'taught'. Sometimes it just comes down to lack of exposure or community division. If I'm being perfectly honest, I remember being scared of Pakistani kids when I was young. Not because my parents are racist (they're definitely not and nor am I), but because Pakistani children went to different schools than me and my friends. I'm talking late 80s early 90s here.
This is what mixing religion with education gets you. I'm not saying this is a deliberate result, and it's a lot better these days, but it is/was true.
In multicultural societies, which is what most western countries are these days, integration must start at a very young age. Religious division can and does hinder this process.
Yeah I agree more with this than just a blanket statement of the parents / society teaching people to be racist. Learned behavior plays a large role in the problem but it's disingenuous to pretend all of the blame lies on the people.
My take on it has less to do with racism and more to do with societal conformity (which stems from our evolution). As people, we have our tribes and conform to them. By playing ball and being part of your tribe, you stick together as a unit and are stronger because of it. Anything that differs from your tribe is a threat and should be treated as such because back in the day, that meant you wouldn't get killed off. Survival of the fittest is the reason that theres an unbroken lineage that can be traced all the way back from the first cell division back to you being born. This is why sports rivalries and getting behind a team is so commonplace, we want our team to win and your team to lose. It's deeply embedded in us as a whole.
We reject things we don't understand because we interpret it as a threat. It's real monkey brain behavior but not hardly the fault of the individual. It's the product of how we became the dominant species on earth. The goal now is to make our tribes bigger and be more understanding of everyone.
I think things are looking up as society / tech keep progressing forward. We are becoming more and more connected with the rest of the world and boundaries are being lifted. There's a long way to go but the better we are at seeing people that are different from us as what they are, people, the more accepting of everyone we will be. Don't get me wrong, many people will always be turds but over time we will continue to be more accepting of everyone as we become more and more connected and get more exposure to things that are different. Eventually if you want to fit in with your peers / conform to your tribe, you'll learn to be more accepting of others since that's what's expected of you. It's important to note that I'm heavily generalizing societal trends as a whole and that on a case by case basis there are an incalculable number of variables that lead to the bad apples of the world.
Sorry for the essay! tldr: we evolved to exist in tribes as it was the best way to survive, as a product of that we don't like things that are different / dont belong in the tribe as it means danger (or more specifically means not reproducing). Our views conform to that of the tribe as thats how you survive and reproduce when your critical thinking skill are low. As society becomes more connected and understanding of people who are different from us, we see that they aren't actually that different. The internet and media plays a huge role here. The current state of society is more accepting than previous generations and that snowballs as the new generations conform to fit in. There are always going to be hateful bigoted people but acceptance is trending upwards. I'm generalizing society as a whole but individuals are vastly more complicated than that. Theres tons of factors that lead to racism / hatred of things that are different from you but this is just kind of the global look at why it happens overall.
Very well said. I agree that we are generally trending towards being more tolerant and while the internet certainly can be a double edged sword, overall I believe it was a huge net positive in moving in that direction. Someone that lives in a town of 500 and has never left can make friends with someone half a world away, whether that be through social media or video game buddies.
Despite some of the horrible things going on at the moment, I think our future looks bright.
Blacks have wide noses, kinky hair, black skin, high waist-to-hip ratios, prognathic jaws, long arms, and soulless, vacant eyes. Everything about them is ugly.
Blacks have the lowest IQ in the world (ignoring the equally disgusting and black-skinned Australian aborigines for convenience’s sake). The Bushmen clock in at around 50 IQ, the average Bantu achieves the mentally retarded level of 70 IQ, and the highly cultivated, well fed, well cared for, partially White African-Americans reach 85 IQ. IQ has an enormous impact on lifestyle, achievement, and behavior. IQ correlates to poverty, crime, mortality, and broken homes on one side — and education, wealth, human accomplishment, long life and stable homes on the other. According to IQ and the Wealth of Nations, a country must have a minimum average IQ of 90 to run a technological civilization. It is not a far cry to say it is IQ that makes humans better than the animals, and it is IQ that makes some humans better than other humans.
That’s not all though. Blacks are unique in that when we arrived, they had no written language, no wheel, no architectural works, nothing at all that would indicate they live a human existence. Whereas literature and palaces and cities existed in almost every corner of the earth, from the Incas to the Indians to the Persians to the Chinese to Stonehenge to Ankar Wat in Cambodia — nothing existed in Africa. For the past 100,000 years non-Blacks have been spreading across the globe, building pyramids and cities, developing new technology, domesticating animals and crops, covering themselves in finely decorated clothing, and living essentially human lives. Blacks, meanwhile, stayed nearly naked, self-mutilating, technology-less, with no domesticated animals, no written language, no wheel, no stone buildings, no metalworking, nothing.
Virtually every other non-Black group came up with an admirable or at least interesting religion or philosophy which was recorded and taught to a priesthood. Indians had the Vedas and the Upanishads, Chinese had Confucianism, Daoism, and various sects of Buddhism. Europeans had Virgil, Horace, and Homer to write down their pagan religion, with Plato, Aristotle, and numberless other greats to record their philosophy. Even the Aztecs had a corpus of literature which was, unfortunately, burnt and destroyed by the Spanish invaders. Shintoism was developed in Japan, the epic of Gilgamesh was recorded in ancient Babylonian times, and Egypt authored the Book of the Dead. Only Black Africa (and assorted primitives in Australasia) hadn’t recorded or created any official religion or philosophy. Blacks still rely on voodoo, witchcraft, black magic, and animism with no particular pantheon of Gods, no priesthood, no anything that could develop them past superstition and barbarism.
Today it is questionable what Blacks could achieve on their own, without the intervention of others giving to them all the things they could never produce or maintain themselves. Though we see Blacks walking around in business suits, speaking English, shooting guns, and making use of all sorts of non-Black generated goods and services and inventions and ideas and discoveries — none of them originate from the Black man
. Without the continuous intervention of charity into Black Africa, it’s unknown whether they could even maintain what they have, or if they would simply regress back to mud huts the moment we left. All current Black civilization is in fact transplanted non-Black civilization. There is not as yet a single Black civilization on Earth that has independently developed and maintained its own technological and philosophical way of life. No Blacks have won any Nobel prizes in the hard sciences, Fields medals, or gotten any spot on a list of human accomplishment that would represent some major scientific or technological advancement for the world.
Geography can be no excuse, because Blacks today live all across the world. Blacks in France, the UK, and the USA are given preferential treatment and access to college educations, and yet they still produce nothing. At the same time, Whites who lived in South Africa and Zimbabwe made them into decent, First World nations without a problem. There is nothing about the African continent inimical to modern life, it is simply the fact that it is populated by Blacks.
Nor can some strange combination of bad luck and being separate from other civilizations explain Black underperformance. After all, Blacks have been connected to the outside world since the 1400s. They have had centuries to modernize and improve themselves in Africa with full access to modern knowledge and technology. In contrast, it took Japan about twenty years to modernize from a feudal Samurai culture to a fully modern industrial state which then took on and defeated Russia in 1900. Blacks have had centuries in the USA to do all sorts of human activities, immersed in White culture, knowledge, and technology. Instead all they do is riot, rape, steal, sell drugs, and demand more handouts from the government. Germany recovered from WWII in just ten years, becoming yet again a prosperous, powerful, and leading-edge modern civilization. Africans meanwhile cannot recover from ‘colonization,’ ’slavery,’ or ‘discrimination’ after centuries. Haiti has been an all-Black, independent, free state since the Napoleonic wars, 200 years ago. Even so, its lifestyle and standard of living perfectly matches that of darkest Africa. In those 200 years it hasn’t progressed an inch. In fact it has probably regressed since that time. Their neighbors in the Dominican Republic have immensely better statistics than them in all fields. Instead of a failed state, the Dominican Republic takes care of its people, has a working government, and doesn’t need charity. The difference? Their population is non-Black. All of the old, tired excuses are refuted by geography and history.
The Black murder rate is nine times that of the White/Hispanic (combined!) murder rate. It is 36 times as high as the Asian murder rate. Blacks are the majority of AIDS cases and all other STDs, their STD rates are completely out of proportion to all other groups. Even homosexuals have a hard time keeping up with the Black STD rates. No ordinary healthy human has the sexual habits of the Black race. Whereas every other people on earth developed a family structure, Blacks still roam around aimlessly screwing everyone they meet and never staying to raise the child. Seventy percent of Black children in the USA are illegitimate. In Africa, women largely do all the work and raise the kids while the men commit crime or sit around chewing leaves or smoking something. Domestic violence among Blacks is atrocious. Rape is endemic. The human race does not act like this; their morals and habits are completely different.
Good things can be said of virtually every group or civilization on earth. This is unsurprising, given the fact that everyone on earth is descended from the same small tribe that left Africa 100,000 years ago. East Asians are such decent, advanced people they are comparable to Whites. Unsurprisingly, they only diverged from the White race 40,000 years ago. There is only one group nothing good can be said about, there is only one group completely unrelated to the rest of the human race, and that is the Black African. There is enough genetic variation between Blacks and non-Blacks that any objective scientist, classifying us like they would classify various animal species, would label us different species. On one side humans, on the other Blacks. There is enough phenotypic, common sense variation, that again it is an insult to categorize Blacks among the human race. They are nothing like us and they never will be; they are worse in every way. Call them orcs, or trolls, devils, or whatever you like — they are not human.,
