Many of them just don't know any better, many of them are just followers. They don't know one thing about any part of it, but their buddy says something, and they just follow and then, of course, ignorance.  And then, of course, you have media, you have our government, that's what Black Lives Matter was all about. It was something to stir up to fuel. It was a test to see if when it comes time. If they could get Wait against black or whomever against who ever  And that's gonna happen again, but everything that I see and people that I know we're not going to allow it to happen, we're going to come together and show people. The world show, whoever exactly what, and it's the Democrat party, what they're doing. How evil they are, it's really it really, really sucks, because it's not gonna work. It's gonna backfire on them, which is good, but the only sad part is there's gonna be probably innocent lives taken. And that's what's wrong part about it.  But if you look at all the problems that America has had, it's been fueled by our government, most of it has, we the people we're not dummies you can't keep trying to brainwash this, it's not gonna work, but they're gonna try. This is what I say about racist is every single one of us on this planet is on vacation. We come here to get away to grow, learn and we get these bodies. And these experiences, and when our vacation's over, we get to go back home. But when we go back home, every single person looks identical, and I laugh because I look at the racist people and look at all the time that they wasted all the energy and hate that they have. And wasted.
 When they could have grown and became friends and learned about each other, but no Lucy, 2 people, their vacation gets Uber at the same time. And when they get back wherever it is going, they're gonna look at each other and say WTF. Because now they go back to their boring life of everybody looking the same
Screwed up this vacation didn't they

Correct, being aware of the stastics and preparing appropriately (not sitting in the bus in front of a black schizo) is not "hateful", it's just being careful.

There is no such thing as racist people. Only people hating races selectively.

Then you have to ask "what makes people hate races selectively?"

The answer is a resounding "liberalism", accompanied with moral relativism. ㅤ

Fear, ignorance, and insecurity are usually at the root.

Racist behavior often comes from a need to feel superior, a lack of exposure to different perspectives, or social conditioning. It’s rarely about the people they target , it’s about their own unresolved biases and fears.

Education, empathy, and self reflection are the things that challenge it, but it takes willingness to change.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Part of the problem is how you define "racist." To many people, that is just a derogatory name to be hurled at anyone who disagrees with them. And many people insist that it is racist to say that black people do not perform as well in school, but not racist to say that white people do not perform as well at many athletic events.

World's a zero sum game. To have anything comes at the expense of another. Might as well be from a smaller minority.  This is fundamentally why Charlie kirks murder is different vs the 10 plus killing of ice.

What do you mean?

Safety is #1... which means survival. Our brains aren't that complicated.

If your probability of getting onto an airplane with a terrorist is 1 out of 100... you won't fly. That shuts down the economy. that don't work. So our brains create a bias against anyone that looks like a terrorist.

Ditto car jackers, thieves, etc.. It's all generalizations for safety/trust. It takes effort to see it differently... in the face of ones own fear.

The problem is it isn't fair to people to group them with criminals and trouble makers by some generality when they don't like them either. There is a problem when groups protect and justify the behavior of the criminals/troublemakers.

Everyone is tired of tiptoeing around each other. Tired of woke. Tired of feeling beat down by life. Tired of the propaganda bullshit. People are starting to call a spade a spade.

Not saying it’s 100% warranted all the time in every single scenario but there are a lot of people out there not pulling their weight, not trying their best, and the ones that are are tired of baring the weight and getting relatively very little in return. The policy of hiring foreign exports, legal or not, for a cheaper rate of what an American citizen would require to live their lives here is really starting to become apparent to struggling individuals and families. It’s at THEIR expense and they LIVE here.

It’s big government looking out for the corporations and not the people. People have a right to be pissed.

Snowman84 · Answer

For white men it’s fear.
Fear of:
Minorities
Women in positions of authority
Gays
Trans
Many white men have seen a shift in the American economy away from manufacturing and production jobs in their lifetime. Their fathers supported a family on these types of jobs in the post war era and fully expected they’d be able to do so themselves. When someone experiences loss they often lash and look for people to blame.
The truth is America white men needed to learn to adapt to a changing world and economy instead of adopting Xenophobic or racist ideology

Seeing people of specific races being allowed to do whatever they want.

Meanwhile, their own race is being blamed for things that either happened a long time ago, never happened to begin with, or were things all races have done. This supposed crime is used to justify the lack of control over other race i. e. "They were oppressed by your kind so let's let them have their fun."

This tactic is not only being done with race, but by sex as well. "Women were oppressed for centuries so if the baby isn't yours, man up."

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

Some of them want an enemy, some of them are stupid and some of them personify their issues by race and all of them are a mix of these (and other factors)

But I think the biggest reason there are racists is because their opinions are validated more than people who aren't racist.

Thirst for conformity? Put 29 white kids in a classroom, then add 1 black kid. Ask the 29 what they think of the black one, they'll feel like the black one is abnormal. Put 1 white kid in a classroom, then add 29 black kids. Ask the 1 white kid how they feel, they'll tell you they want to be black, to be like the others.

It's been that way for centuries not only in America but all over the world people of color were always held to lower standards mainly because of intelligence. It has gotten much better over the last few decades but i don't see it completely gone ever.

HighValue · Answer

Most racists in the USA are Black women, then liberal White women, then Black men. Of course most Muslims hate all of us and want us dead regardless of race. It is mostly liberals that are racist.

If it wasn't for liberal media, most people wouldn't even be racist in modern times.

Hate, spite, lack of understanding, close mindedness, misaligned world view, lack of direction, insecurities, scrutiny, and wanting a sense of superiority at the misfortune of others to feel part of a group of those that belong.

Ignorance.

Summeroflove · Answer

Some people were raised racist. Some people base negative experiences with a few people and project that on all people of a certain race regardless of the fact that not everyone is the same. Some….. yeah just hate and insecurity.
