I don't understand how you can hate another human just because they look different or have a different skin tone. It just isn't something that I will ever understand. Because of bad experiences and faulty logic, or it's taught like the bible. When people experience anything they looks for reason, justification. If there isn't reason and they just experience dumb luck, they typically make arbitrary associations to make sense of it in their head. If a white guy gets mugged by a black stranger on some random night, they may well associate the event with the attacker of which they only know is black. If a black guy studies hard and applies for harvard law but doesn't get in, he may associate not getting in with there being 9x as many white people as black who get in. People need answers, explanations, so in the absence of information they will make a placeholder to stop themselves overthinking it. It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to not be proven wrong to gain some kind of closure. also fear. people fear what they don't know or understand so back when differing races first ran into each other. well yeah. we also tend to hate other cultures than our own, just race makes it easier to identify them. like I used to be uneasy around black people. only really saw them at school, but I kept to myself. as I got older I started to actually associate with them, talk to them and even hang out with them and learned at least modern racism from what I could see is only kept going by some bad apples ruining it for the whole bunch. I actually miss one of those dudes. he was even cool with exchanging racist jokes, he had plenty of his own. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
