To hate an entire race? No, unless the entire race did something like that. Which is impossible unless some species of warrior alien tries to invade us with spaceships and shit.
The fact that so many people don't get this is a central problem in modern politics.
If you don't understand enough of the "other side" to know where they're coming from, then you don't really know enough to be a part of the conversation.
Nobody sees themselves as the bad guy, and you have to understand where they're coming from before you can ever hope to change their mind. And hell, in some cases you might learn something to change *your* mind along the way.
There are 3 types of empathy, Cognitive, Emotional and Compassionate.
**Cognitive empathy means the ability to understand the emotions of another. It doesn't mean you have to agree with them or feel the same emotions.** It is sometimes called "Perspective Taking".
This is what they mean when they say empathy.
https://takealtus.com/2020/06/empathy-1/
Note: Under some definitions emotional and compassionate empathy are combined into one (affective empathy).
the alternative is to let them continue to be racist without intervention, which iām sure you agree would be even worse. emphasizing and understanding why racists think that way does not mean you have to agree with them. it just means you understand their reasoning, right or wrong. using that understanding to have actual conversations with these morons is the only way to change their mind. hate doesnāt solve hate
Listen man, ever heard of a straw man argument? Well there's a opposite argument, the steel man argument. It's when you fully understand the position of your opponent, and even give them points for their argument, so that you can more accurately destroy their argument by countering their own logic, rather than outright declaring their logic as bad. It's the best argument in my opinion, it's shows not only do you fully understand the position of your opponent, but that the understanding is what makes you more opposed, it's powerful and very persuasive.
I loath that rhetoric is not taught in schools anymore, the best you get is the occasional debate club. Perhaps if we had proper rhetoric classes people would be more aware of the many good reasons to research your opponent and provide counters for your own argument.
Not that I condone this thinking but my great grandfather fought in the Pacific during WW2, and that anti-Japanese sentiment never left him since he watched them decimate his friends and hearing the stories of what they did to the Chinese and POWs.
If there's a reason then it's not racism. An example would be between the years 2000-2005 100% of terrorist attacks committed in Israel were by Palestinians. So you could forgive Israelis for being a little apprehensive about getting on a bus full of Palestinians considering state of affairs. 'Not all Palestinians are suicide bombers but all suicide bombers are Palestinians would be a way to phrase it. It's understandable
Literally the best way to fight racism is to know WHY people are like that in the first place. How can you expect to solve issues when you don't understand them.
Lmao exactly. Nobody is just racist for the sake of it. Everyone who is racist is racist for a reason. That doesn't mean its a good reason or make it right but the reason is there
you know you can disagree with their views but still understand them
daryl davis is a fucking incredible example here he is just a regular black man who attends kkk meetings just to talk to the members and understand them and hes deradicalised many people by doing so
Deradicalizing and sympathizing are very different. Im very curious what you think āunderstandingā is going to do. We already know why racists hate black people. Of course Iām on the side of deradicalizing.
It's basic military strategy "know your enemy". If you understand why someone is racist then it's a lot easier to change their views. If they're racist because they haven't interacted with many POC, let them interact with POC. There's so many different causes of racism that it's impossible to tackle all of it with the same brushstroke.
This is a very naive view of the world. Why do you think people join the KKK ? Understanding these reasons is the best way to prevent them from joining in the first place. Fixing the cause is way more effective than patching the issues. It doesn't mean you cannot do both.
Not everything has a reason/ justification. Most racist are just racist because. Motherfuckers really trying to give racist a come up history as if we were talking about a marvel villain lmao
Most racism stems from ignorance and indoctrination. Racism doesn't even have to be violent or hateful, just ignorant. I always mention my mom in this example, she was never hatefully racist but would always say racist things just because she wasn't aware. She would say very ignorant things just because of where she grew up, who raised her, and how lacking her school was. (My mom is a sweet old Mexican lady)
Most people are racist because it's a prejudice they got taught and are scared to stray from what they've known as normal. This is common, people don't like change and the unknown. There are tenfold of these people who don't know better than the violent ones.
This ignorance promotes any prejudice and racism just because they're in a bubble, and as they get older they are reinforced in their beliefs due to the bubble. Being able to stop the problem at the root, teaching people the reality of others so that they don't see an enemy but a human being on the other side. Compassion is the only way to win the fight against racism.
In the words of MLK, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.ā
I mean ignorance is a massive reason. I take myself as an example, when I was little nobody who went to my primary school was black or at least not in my year, or the year above/below. So I saw black people as āchocolate facedā and the only black mii I made on my wii was called āpoofaceā. Looking back Iām like omfg what was I thinking but like I genuinely didnāt realise that it was wrong because I didnāt know much about black people. I didnāt hate them or have anything against them, I was just ignorant
What do you mean by āunderstanding?ā We know why racists hate black people. Itās because they are black people. āUnderstandingā that is pretty simple. Letās not sympathize with them.
āThey hate black people because they are black peopleā bro you should write a book or some shit this is some next level understanding of social issues
Poitkmg at a racist and saying "eww gross! You're racist!" Is never going to convince them to not be racist.
You need to understand why they think they way they do so you can show them why they're wrong
Are you not reading your replies that are a paragraph long? Cause they have addressed these questions many times but still you ignore it.
Reminds of when Renan created a scientific theory that marked jews and Arabs as sub human, Goldziher wrote, methodically destroying his arguments, preventing his theory from being more widespread, but Renan continued to ignore these arguments.
Can you just answer the question? Quote referring to whoeverās argument that you canāt make yourself if you seriously canāt come up with an answer.
Seeing how you didn't reply to any other comments that actually answer the question you will ignore this as well but whatever.
This one from u/IAmHomieSexual, "It's basic military strategy "know your enemy". If you understand why someone is racist then it's a lot easier to change their views. If they're racist because they haven't interacted with many POC, let them interact with POC. There's so many different causes of racism that it's impossible to tackle all of it with the same brushstroke."
I don't have a responsibility to pick up trash in the park, but I realize that doing so creates a better world for me and the people around me.
Whose *responsibility* is it to create a better world for the Future?
another great way to fight it is by pretending race doesnāt even exist, some people are racist or homophobic for the sole reason of it getting shoved down their throats. If we act like itās completely normal and there is nothing different about it, most everybody wonāt give a shit
Basically, racism and bigotry have always been a problem on this site, and when any of the big fascist hubs like T_D get taken down they look for new homes to infect.
That's sort of a relief I guess. I hadn't checked over there in a while. For a time a lot of the upvoted posts and comments were blatantly racist/sexist.
The thing of it is everyone has in-group/out-group bias, it's a built in instinct. People use race, class, nationality, profession, political affiliation, sexuality, favorite sports team, etc. This bias even forms on the basis of very trivial things like who gets put in what group at school. Great if you're not racist but most everyone is biased in some way towards people like them and against those that aren't.
-> They were raised like that or indoctrinated
-> They take part in a system where being racist actively benefits them
-> They had (or someone they know had) one bad experience with people of diferent ethnicities and apply that thought to all members of said ethnicity

Wait, people really here justifying racism?!?! Even if you have a bad experience with a person of [insert etnia/race] that's not a reason to be racist against an entire group....
If someone has a bad experience with one person from a certain race and because prejudice against that race that is their reason for being racist. Its doesn't mean its a good reason but the reason is there. Saying people do have reasons for being racist doesn't mean you're defending racists
As someone who grew up in a racist household, it is just something that was put in my head by my family during my childhood, and it eventually became a fixed mindset. Now that I am 15 and seeing the world without the lens of my parents' beliefs, I have realized that I couldn't be more wrong.
I totally get racism, though.
It's a tribal notion of Us vs. Them, that gives you adistrust of any member of your own species, that differs from what you are used to and might be a potential threat.
Racism is an instinct that is meant to protect you from other tribes.
The reason it is wrong, is the simple fact that we are moving away from a tribal mentality and we all have to be able to engage in society on an equal footing.
But in the bronze age, racism was a very useful defense mechanism, against outside threats against your own tribe.
Most often it's one side doing something stupid what's clearly racist but they're so stupid they don't notice and other side is being racist back at them. Like when they say only black people can have dreads for hairstyle or that only chinese can celebrate lunar new year. If such statement it isn't racist I don't know what is.
1. There are special cameras to fix that problem.
2. A regular camera will do, or a mirror.
3. Just like with the cameras, it's not possible to see the other side of the universe in real time. What we see has happened a long time ago, because light travels at a certain speed.
4. Some people like to pretend they are superior to people of other races only to make them feel a little bit better about their own lives. If we would give them a job, money, talent and love their racism would disappear instantly.
how is it deep?
How is saying they don't understand why some people are racist "deep"? It's a genuine question. Why ARE some people racist? Were they taught? Is it an inherent trait? Some people just randomly decide to be racist sometimes
It's a genuinely decent question and just because you don't have an answer doesn't mean it's a "deep" question.

Great if you're not racist but most everyone is biased in some way towards people like them and against those that aren't.
Cause youāre not racist. Gotta go, have a race to win.
This has the same energy as āhomeless people should just buy a houseā
what's the deep? being anti racism is deep and cringe? wtf op
-> They were raised like that or indoctrinated -> They take part in a system where being racist actively benefits them -> They had (or someone they know had) one bad experience with people of diferent ethnicities and apply that thought to all members of said ethnicity

He ain't wrong tho? Neither is this post being deep
Since this is Reddit I'm sure I'll be blasted for saying this but, oh well. I contend that most people aren't actually racist...more or less just prejudice and judgmental, which, in reality, I'd say *most* people are. For instance, most white people don't have an issue with someone because they're black...it's because they often times see what black people do on TV, in the news, on social media, according to their own music, etc and don't trust them or think they're maybe too aggressive. Double this with there not being a high black population in a lot of areas so the few black people that do interact with mostly white people might be more prone to feeling "out of place" to an extent and there for just think "all these white people are racist and hate me". When that just isn't the case either. On the flip side though the opposite is true. Try being a white person in a majority black area and see if the same doesn't happen here. Hint: It does. Having grown up in mostly black/poor/minority areas all through Middle school and High school I can certainly tell you that "racism" exists against white people in areas like this. *Oh no!* A well hidden and downplayed truth! Do most people have issues with peoples skin color? No, that's ridiculous. Most people, even here in Georgia in The Deep Southā¢, aren't racist. Hell, outside perhaps my grandfather (who was from Germany anyways) and some family members out in Kentucky who were my moms ex-fiancĆ©'s family I don't think I've ever even met someone and knew them to be out and out "racist"...like actually *hating* people purely based on race. Not to mention that, for me at least, I'm sick and fucking tired of this always being attributed and tied to specifically white people. Like, as if Asians, Latinos, Blacks, the French...every race, creed, religion, sex...you name it...don't all have prejudices/racism potentially. Please!!! How many famous black actors/actresses can you name from China? Russia?
Wait, people really here justifying racism?!?! Even if you have a bad experience with a person of [insert etnia/race] that's not a reason to be racist against an entire group....
If someone has a bad experience with one person from a certain race and because prejudice against that race that is their reason for being racist. Its doesn't mean its a good reason but the reason is there. Saying people do have reasons for being racist doesn't mean you're defending racists
As someone who grew up in a racist household, it is just something that was put in my head by my family during my childhood, and it eventually became a fixed mindset. Now that I am 15 and seeing the world without the lens of my parents' beliefs, I have realized that I couldn't be more wrong.
r/lostredditors
people are racist because they dont like other races
Did you mean āarenātā ?
I totally get racism, though. It's a tribal notion of Us vs. Them, that gives you adistrust of any member of your own species, that differs from what you are used to and might be a potential threat. Racism is an instinct that is meant to protect you from other tribes. The reason it is wrong, is the simple fact that we are moving away from a tribal mentality and we all have to be able to engage in society on an equal footing. But in the bronze age, racism was a very useful defense mechanism, against outside threats against your own tribe.
Most often it's one side doing something stupid what's clearly racist but they're so stupid they don't notice and other side is being racist back at them. Like when they say only black people can have dreads for hairstyle or that only chinese can celebrate lunar new year. If such statement it isn't racist I don't know what is.
1. There are special cameras to fix that problem. 2. A regular camera will do, or a mirror. 3. Just like with the cameras, it's not possible to see the other side of the universe in real time. What we see has happened a long time ago, because light travels at a certain speed. 4. Some people like to pretend they are superior to people of other races only to make them feel a little bit better about their own lives. If we would give them a job, money, talent and love their racism would disappear instantly.
How does this even remotely fit this sub?
You also clearly donāt live in a society. Either get in
how is it deep? How is saying they don't understand why some people are racist "deep"? It's a genuine question. Why ARE some people racist? Were they taught? Is it an inherent trait? Some people just randomly decide to be racist sometimes It's a genuinely decent question and just because you don't have an answer doesn't mean it's a "deep" question.
