"If hate could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world." Nikola Tesla

Tribalism and groupthink dominate parts of America today. It sometimes seems hate has a president. It started with birtherism and then Mexicans, Muslims followed and policies towards LGBTQ added to the cake. What happened America. And to add to the issue, Evangelicals and Christians remain silent, happy they got a few ideologues in the courts. The irony is astounding.

"Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil, but as necessity." Simone Weil

"Humans universally make Us/Them dichotomies along lines of race, ethnicity, gender, language group, religion, age, socioeconomic status, and so on. And it’s not a pretty picture. We do so with remarkable speed and neurobiological efficiency; have complex taxonomies and classifications of ways in which we denigrate Thems; do so with a versatility that ranges from the minutest of microaggression to bloodbaths of savagery; and regularly decide what is inferior about Them based on pure emotion, followed by primitive rationalizations that we mistake for rationality. Pretty depressing."

It started with Obama saying our country is getting browner and you did not build that and letting in too many uncultured immigrants and legalizing illegals. Most Americans hate the newcomers and many of them hate us and there you have it.

I agree--stay safe--stay away from Obama's hateful racist blacks
blacks commit hate crimes at TWICE the rate of whites:
Offenders

white supremacists murder less than 10 per year
blacks murder ------------------------------------3000 per year:
The Long List of Killings Committed by White Extremists Since the Oklahoma City Bombing

blacks only 13% of the population..whites about 65%-YET:
white on black murders - 229
black on white murders - 500
Expanded Homicide Data Table 6

blacks rape at TWICE the rate of whites:
Perpetrators of Sexual Violence: Statistics | RAINN
blacks murder at FOUR times the rate of whites
African-American Homicide Rate Nearly Quadruple the National Average
etc etc etc
