    Ignorance, laziness, conformism

    The hypothesis that humans come in genetically distinct races has been proven wrong some 70 years ago

    Most racism is created by people who want to keep us divided.

    it is a well-known scientific fact that animal and mammal species are genetically wired to recognize differences in color and markings and make instinctive decisions/evaluations based solely on those differences...

    humans are no different.....years ago a filmmaker making a documentary on the original "Planet of the Apes" movie was reviewing  hours of "behind the scenes" footage and noticed that actors and extras....regardless of their ethnicity and social class...not only began to self-segregate during meal breaks into their costumed "types," but also enforced the story's "hierarchy... orangutan "leaders" ate at the front of the room and higher tables, those dressed as gorilla soldiers ate closest to them and the chimpanzee "workers" ate at the rear and far-away tables...

    like most other "animal instincts," this one can be overcome with understanding and self-awareness...

    hate and ignorance contributes less to the instinct than it does to the way that instinct can be easily-manipulated in people for political gain...

    Well thinking about racism just depresses me honestly. I’m from the state of Louisiana & I know a few self proclaimed white supremacists .. I think what it all comes down to is fear. They truly fear the white race will go extinct if people mix races etc. I think it also comes down to ignorance..I feel like their hatred stems from ignorance. I feel like if half of them met a really chill black person their views might change.. but then again many of them have been raised this way their entire lives. It’s all they know. Again ignorance.
