I take no disagreement with anything you said

Just like to point out a couple of things

First, country aren't racist, people are racists
Second, sometimes just not being as BAD.....Is not GOOD enough.

Lulu said: "I think we are all racists to a certain extent......I think our lizard brains are tuned to it.......lizard brain being an instinctual aspect that still operates on a sub-conscious level.....As we struggle towards full consciousness, we need to check ourselves and others for these remnants and overcome them with empathy." When I saw this post first come up I wanted to say much the same. Be honest with yourself because it is obvious. I would also add that the more one is in minority, the more probability is racist. That is not to say 'you' or I actively seek anyone to harass. Definitions seem fluid so as to stretch accusations. Isn't choosing who gets into a college or a job racial profiling? And by the same people who say racial profiling is all bad

I believe the main thrust of this blog! US has been known as land of opportunity. I do believe the administration is actively trying to skew the essence of this country in a bad way

Like Lulu, I think there is part of everyone that is racist. We are a product of our upbringing but current events have certainly affected our views of certain races. We look over our shoulders more than ever before, at least I know I do.

Elaine, I would add personal experience to upbringing and current events. For the dumass Skariff, the msg is the USA is good as it gets. Stop fucking with it

Racism is entirely learned behaviour.
We are born with a perfectly clean slate... no prejudices about anything, until we learn them from those around us as we develop.

    Quoting  :

I would say we are genetically inclined to be racists.

But, I also think, everything we are, we are genetically inclined to be.

From our physical to our attitudes, all is genetically inclined for the single purpose of survival...Even God, fits that bill

Almost all the fights we have get narrowed down to those that want us to overcome our nature, and those that want to keep it.
