Humans are Racist: We’re born flawed…. why is this hard to understand?


Humans are not racist. No one is born racist, it is taught. There wasn't even a concept for race until the 17th century.
Most people are, and always have been, suspicious of "foreigners" or people who are different. That's not racism.
To say that "humans" are racist is akin to claiming that humans are sexist or some other shit. Are all humans sexist bigots?
As far as CRT is concerned, it seems like a way of promoting racism rather than eliminating it. How 'bout teaching honest, accurate history - both the good and the bad - instead of spinning another biased agenda like the kind of biased crap we've always been taught?
I am so sick of Democrats, social engineer propagandists, and dumb ass "woke" liberals. And, just to let you know, I have progressive values. But I am not influenced at all by political partisanship.

No we are not and there is plenty of evident to support that. It's the people we spend time around when our mind is developing that teach us racism. All of us are born a clean slate. Much social and emotional development takes place between the ages of five and seven. If a child is often around people that exhibit a given negative behavior it can become a part of their behavior as well. Behaviors such as racialism, drug or alcohol abuse and abuse in a relationship can be past on to the next generation in a family. Simply because a child learned this from family and other people that spent time around them during their heave development years.
People are quick to use the "I was born this way" defense to justify their behavior. Also amazing thing about what I'm saying has been verified by several studies in several scientific fields such as social science and psychological science. So its not really speculation on my end. I would suggest doing your own research. There really isn't any excuse for not doing so. The greatest thing the internet has give us collectively as a species is giving us access to wealth knowledge that we wouldn't have easy access to without it.

Animals are meant to be in tribes. Humans have been for 2 million years, until now when we're told we're not allowed to be. Watch in nature. There is no mixing, and certainly no forced mixing against their will.

I was born with flaws, yes... I'm still flawed, yes... and I will die with my flaws for sure.
but I was not born racist and I am not racist, I won't be racist...
well, maybe if the aliens show up one day, I might turn on all of you and point fingers, but we'll see about that...
if so, then tell me... who's the target or your 5% racism? who do you hate? or who do you feel superior to?
frustration towards traffic or authority is not racism...
so, tell me... which racist or sexist remarks have you thought about people... but didn't blurt out (or maybe you did)?
well, you are going the " I'm shitty so everyone else has to be shitty too" route... and that's what this is.
bad thoughts yes, but racist... no
for example, ever since I joined this site, I've thought you were idiotic... and later with time, I confirmed it... those are bad thoughts, but is not about your race, I don't even know which is it... so no, I am not being racist
Well they are more perfect then pro CRT people. I mean your arguing we are inherently racist and that is why. . . you want to push racist ideologies onto children. You support racism, I don't, pretty straight fucking forward. Instead of whining that others are not as racist as you, you should try to be less racist.
No, actually plenty of evidence for it. Your entire premise is that white people are racist,, that is racist, by literal fucking definition that is racist. You get presented proof all the time, your just to fucking stupid to accept it. I mean I presented you with a law, you said it didn't say what it said it did, I then gave you the entire law verbatum, and you still couldn't accept it. I've presented scientific studies to you and actual data charts from multiple sources and still you didn't accept it. This isn't about rationality, your part of a cult,, you are brainwashed, and you are stupid as fuck because you have been trained your entire life to never question the narrative and so you couldn't think critically if I put a gun to your head (hence why you are NPC's, you have base responses that have been given to you and their is no unique thoughts or dialogue with you people.).
So lots of claims, overwhelming proof, your just to fucking stupid to understand it OR your so evil and corrupt you know its all true but don't care because to you all that matters is hurting as many people as possible because your so stupid you think when everything comes tumbling down your going to be the one at the top of the rubble heap when in reality, your going to be buried under it all with the rest of us as the ultra rich take over (as you have done exactly what they have asked of you).
Its just as shame that some one as stupid as you gets to fuck over the rest of us.
and you push an agenda that encourages tribalism, specifically creating tribal conflict between races, whats your point? Encouraging violence, encouraging hate, encouraging division is not a good thing (especially if your trying to argue that we should all get along. It would make sense if your pushing for an ethno state but otherwise your behavior and actions contradict your proclaimed goals.).
But you are encouraging it, your saying that every one is racist (not accurate, tribalistic is not racism), and that we need to constantly beat a dead horse and show that people are racist (but not all people, just white people.). You also advocate for constantly talking about things that happened in the past that no one alive took part in and no one alive or dead could ever rectify thus ensuring that animosity and hate remains high. You make excuses for bad behavior in certain groups (minorities) and encourage it saying that its never their fault and thus they have no reason to alter the behavior even knowing that it will improve their lives by orders of magnitude, etc. etc. So yes, you are encouraging it.
America on the other hand discouraged it, they tried to hammer home that while their is tribalism, every one is apart of the American tribe, that their was not black white jewish christian, their was just americans. This helped not only encourage a positive tribalism but also a tribalism that by its nature was fare more welcoming then other tribes (as you have to be born into a race, but you don't have to be born into being an america, you are raised a religion, but you don't have to be raised American to be an American). You actively fight against this. So yes, you are encouraging tribalism and racism by selectively editing and revising history, ignoring data, and trying to pit each group against each other while undermining the one unifying idea we had.
Yeah, bro. But not everyone is like KKK racist.
And we're a LOT less racist than we used to be as a society. Just take two different years and compare them objectively (without exaggeration or hyperbole).
Of course we're not perfect. We still have work to do. But you don't call a 150-pound person fat when they used to weigh 300.
I know. I agree.
we don't come out of the womb and say "death to all non aryans" (Hitler)
That's taught
I was not taught racism. I have a great uncle i just found out who was kkk, and even murdered someone...
I'm just lucky I wound up on the "right" side of my family
and tribal is completely different then racist. Racist is believing in the innate superiority or inferiority of a race, tribalism is preferential treatment to your way of life, your belief structure, and to your community. Notice one is about race, the other is not.
Tribalism, is about native americans, you idiots
tribalism
[ˈtrībəˌlizəm]
NOUN
the state or fact of being organized in a tribe or tribes.
derogatory
the behavior and attitudes that stem from strong loyalty to one's own tribe or social group.
"a society motivated by cultural tribalism"
No humans are racist because we choose to believe in the lie of race. Race doesn't actually exist. Science and historical record proves that. HUMANS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM these ideas we are choosing to live by are THE PROBLEM. These ideas made by some old fart 100s of years ago. I did a MyTake on this
Humans are born neutral it’s what we teach our kids that makes them racist or sexist. I’m sure a new born doesn’t care about race or even understand it. You have to teach racism to make a person racist
I must not be human then.
This is a very outlandish claim. What convinced you this is true? How would you convince me?
The way you've described it makes it sound a lot like "original sin" in Christianity. Just an observation.
How does someone become a not-racist then? Or is everyone just a racist to some varying degree?
Ok. I disagree with you but I still appreciate your willingness to be introspect and adapt.
Talk about a strawman argument...
How about this, why don't you summarize your understanding of CRT so we can see what you support.
Don't be deliberately obtuse. Power in the US primarily doesn't rest with legislators.
-Who controls the federal bureaucracy?
-Who controls a majority of the judiciary?
-Who controls most of the media?
-Who controls public and especially higher ed?
-Who controls big corporations?
And again, do you admit that racism can come from any race?
GOP doesn't equal conservative. And Democrats had little trouble in 2020 bypassing legislatures when it came to ignoring the legislatures‘ right to set election procedures in their states. Furthermore, while state legislatures may sometimes have Republican majorities, that doesn’t mean the bureaucrats, who are given lots of power to implement laws by legislation, are conservative- they usually are not.
And everyone knows the federal bureaucracy is dominated by leftists (Obama prioritized that), plus federal govt often abuses its power.
The power of the leftist media was amply demonstrated by the coverup of the Biden Crime Family’s corruption, e. g., Hunters laptop, which a number of voters said would have caused them to vote differently had they known about it. Fox isn’t conservative, and Facebook is a leftist monopoly. Twitter and Google Are also leftist.
Incidentally, German state-controlled media uses a lot of content from the New York Tomes.
But you still haven’t answered my question: „Do you admit that racism can come from any race“?
And does CRT as taught in schools and in corporate and government training sessions mention racism and discrimination from any race other than whites? Someone with as much guilt as you should be able to answer this.
You
And every time I read your posts, I'm reminded of what self-hating scion of segregation and slavery is like- a pathetic cuck.
They're not hard questions, but I'll ask it again:
1) Do you admit that racism can come from any race“?
2) And does CRT as taught in schools and in corporate and government training sessions mention racism and discrimination from any race other than whites?
1) Yes any race can be and are racist.
2) the basic lesson of CRT I’ve read doesn’t mention any race. Just how it can be systemic. It’s actually boring and not as controversial as conservatives make it out. What teachers do with their lessons are another thing. But given the standardized testing I doubt there’s much room for creative racial teaching… :)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed certain similarities with religions and you cultists.
We ARE perfect!!
You only BECOME racist if it's what you're taught to be, just like those CRT professors are doing!!
That doesn’t mean that we’re born flawed. People who try to “fix” nature are flawed, and will never succeed anyway.
You can try, and you’ll fail.
Maybe so. Humans are naturally born to notice patterns, and have a survival instinct that makes them more likely to gravitate and be more trusting of people who look like them. Except for white Liberals
I was never a racist and never will he.
Stop projecting your own racism onto us.
No one is born a racist. Racism is a learned behaviour.
That's wrong too. Suspicion is also a learned behaviour.
Love is absolutely learned. It's the first thing we learn if we have good parents. Sadly some people never learn love and they become adults like Charles Manson.
I call B/S! Racism has to be strictly defined before you ask the question. It means something different to every person!
We are no more flawed than those who think that the solution to racial division is more racial division.
Conservatives cannot stand to have their flaws revealed or discussed.
Yes, humans are naturally racist. However, I don't see that as a flaw.
Human's became "fallen" while in the Garden of Eden. God never intended this for human-kind, but the serpent was successful in tempting Eve with the fruit...
Very accurate statement. I’ve learned to live with it as long as a race war doesn’t break out we’ll be fine.
Humans aren't born racist. Stop projecting your racism unto others my guy.
lol, the original sin. cultist.
No.. you’re proof of that.
Racism is learned. No one is born hating others
