Zone1 Let's examine "racism"

[MaryL]

1994 Rwanda: Blacks slaughter each other:

 

[MaryL]

Both speak the same bantu languages, and are of the same tribes. Race was one thing, it came to religion and politics. That is the scary thing.

 

[MaryL]

Genocides have continued to occur since the Holocaust. This was the case, for example, in Rwanda in 1994. Over a period of 100 days, from April to July 1994, as many as one million people, mostly Tutsis, were massacred. This occurred when an extremist-led Hutu government launched a plan to wipe out Rwanda’s entire Tutsi minority and any others who opposed its policies. That was way more efficient than the NAZI death camps. And they did it with machetes, for the most part. Think about that.

The difference is......

Racism is a dark part of human nature but in America is actually much less prevalent than in many countries.
But in America, it is being USED by the wealthy authoritarian class to infuriate the ignorant class to destroy the middle class and the nation of laws that made it great for all eventually.....at which point they will seize absolute power.

Why would you call your thread "Lets Examine Racism" and post it in Race and Religion, if you were going to discuss political violence among people of the same race?

Yet a single political party hedges their entire existence on a thing that isn't real. In fact, RACISM has become the biggest most exploited fraud in American history.

I would say, Human beings do evil and race is a rather subjective if not meaningless secondary factor.

On an individual level, yes. Race was certainly not the problem in the example you discussed in your OP thread.

How do you think I meant it? Hutus and Tutsis where individuals. On that level.

Anyone else notice that the same dozen or so topics are posted as threads over and over and over?

Absolutely

What are your credentials MaryL?

Thia is a rather deep and thought provoking statement that I find difficult to refute.
It does also point out a very important basic fact.....Humans Do Evil. So true.

Thinkers would probably conclude that in the absence of any skin tone differences among humans, humans would still find 1000 ways to find differences allowing them the ability to harbor hatred and do their evil.

As you wisely point out, racism is merely a secondary factor. But currently an anchor means of hating and manifesting evil against others.

Some people feel that if the amount of violent crime in this country were to plunge to very low numbers, "racism" would quickly fade away.

Well, it is true the fact that blacks commit such a disproportionate amount of violent crime is exacerbating a negative attitude. Since crime is correlated with poverty, and poverty is correlated with out-of-wedlock births (which is shamefully high among blacks), this problem could be largely reduced by delaying childbirth until after marriage, and when at least one of the parents is gainful,y employed.

Same as yours.

She is a human being with a right to express her opinion.

Utter nonsense.....all one has to do is look up the statistics on the crime rate of whites vs. black crime stats.

The only racism that plays a major role in crime is black racism....they committ more hate crimes than any other group but are rarely....very rarely are charged with a hate crime.

Your thoughts are so overly simplistic I should not even bother.
