I struggle to wrap my mind around not liking someone simply because of their skin color, but maybe that’s because I’m not a fascist and grew up surrounded by diversity.
Those of y’all who are closer to chuds like this guy, what is their “logic”?
Logic? It’s not logical. I went down the YouTube right-wing rabbit hole because I wanted to hear their other side for a while.
You get to hear some shit about how only white people have ever invented anything worthwhile. Africans have no written language until the Europeans taught them and that they were only an oral tradition. If you bring up Egypt, they’ll say that’s more white than it is black. If you see it that way, THEY are the pure intelligent people teaching these lower races how things are appropriately done. Thereafter they deserve everything. It’s some weird shit man.
It’s not logical. It’s a purely emotional reaction like all fears, hatreds, and the like. I can’t tell what’s gone through this man’s head. The one thing I’ve seen a few times in my life is similar to the irrational hatred of police (not the legitimate ongoing concerns, not the wariness or standing on your rights, but the proactive hatred). A few bad actors ruin your perception, and the human response is to react to the whole group based on the worst individuals you’ve met or heard about.
It’s a similar response to how abuse victims react around otherwise-decent people who resemble their abusers. I want to make this explicit: I am not suggesting that racists are victims. I’m illustrating the human tendency to react to individual actions irrationally and apply that experience to the group or category, regardless of evidence to the contrary. Plus, a lot of these people are raised in environments where the media they can consume has a habit of demonizing non-white people. They absorb that perception and it’s reinforced by the people around them. Sometimes it can be shaken when they meet an arbitrary number of people who are decent human beings that are part of that group - but the moment there’s any sign of reinforcement of the old pattern, they’ll likely fall back to it.
Hey he’s the guy Michael Myers’s mask was based off of
William Shatner?
10 days I give it 10 days for the crazy fucks that call themselves Republicans to bring this clown shoe into the fold
Shame that COs are held to a higher standard than police officers.
In the wonderful words of Jimmy Carr: you look like someone drew a face on a thumb.
