You said..
“...history, phobias, social standing, justice, education, culture, religion, profession, and so on. When you simplify racism to just one single issue of colour of ones skin, then you are not seeing the tree...”
I think you inadvertently proved my point in starting this thread, “Technology is to blame”. What you re pointing out in the statement above is, instinct. Instinct develops with time. Yes I am biased against young blacks in the ghetto or it could be white dudes on a late night coming out of bars.. my instincts have been honed to be on edge.. otherwise I can’t survive in those environments.... From your perspective, you want to eliminate that instinctual bias also, otherwise we should consider ourselves racist.. it seems that technology and your past have kept you out of these types of situations..just like the domesticated wolf, it’s instinct of survival has been diminished... .
The white man should have answered the black man in the way I stated. The whole discussion seemed to have been staged!
He’s not the only black person to have the same thoughts are you suggesting that these people are Uncle Toms? Do you think people sit around and stage these forums with real blacks people in order to convince whites people that they aren’t racist.. but that they really are because you think it’s staged... So a white person( like you) denounces all the black people that say there isn’t any racism in order for the white person ( like you), to have feelings that you’ve done something. Actually that would be An extreme racist thing to do...
