The hate u give little infants bleeps every1 (THUGLIFE)- 2pac

State of Ohio is filled with redneck racists.

jayfolarin:


You sound like an intelligent person and your first paragraph says where it all went and still goes wrong... SOCIETY! That being said, there are no subconscious biases or prejudices that excuse racists and their behaviours. While society and certain upbringings may have instilled shitty behaviours in some, it is their responsibility and theirs alone to deal badly with others from such prejudiced positions.

There is no such thing as ignorantly being racist towards others. Thoughts might run through your head like you stated but it's left to you and only you to act on this thoughts towards others.

I deal and meet with people from different all over the world fairly regularly. I am even married to someone from a different continent and with a different religion. If I worked with prejudices that may have consciously or unconsciously been planted in my mind, this probably won't be the case. Notice how I didn't use the word 'race' there?

My point is, recent history of humans have been nothing short of disheartening but this doesn't excuse shitty people acting like shiit. Do not excuse their behaviour, DONT. Tolerating and accepting behaviours such as the one above has led and still leads to so many lost and destroyed lives.

Watch 'the birth of a nation' and you'd get an idea of the gritty horrors our forefathers had to go through in the hands of wicked and horrible racists and maybe you'd see why black Americans just can't fold their hands in complacency to acts such as the above.

Honestly, I totally agree with you. I am not going to counter what you just said because you nailed it. I wouldn't claim to know how it actually feels to be profiled racially as I have never lived in the western world, though I have been to some African countries and I have experienced such similar bias because I'm Nigerian. My assertion though purely academical, just points to the fact that racism, tribalism or any form of prejudice stem from how social environment play a role in shaping how one learns about race.

In this sense, my response builds on existing scholarship on how children develop understandings about race and racism in the context of family, place, early school experiences,elementary and secondary schools, and even religious houses

But not to sound all gloom. I believe all hope is not loss though, this new generation hold more open-minded and tolerant viewpoints on race than previous generations and I know it can only get better. And yes, no form of prejudice should be tolerated.

I'll be sure to check out 'The birth of Nation' reading through the synopsis. I know its going to be an interesting and enlightening watch.

Sending out love and light to you.
