And I would not term myself a ‘racist’, but more of a ‘rational observer of reality’.
A true racist would not have friends that are of color. I do, since those people I befriend are those who act in societal norms. Some of the best professional co-workers I know happen to be of other races. I hold zero against them. In fact, one fellow is actually the smartest person in my field I have ever met!
It is the ferals I disparage.
Right, but specific individuals whose character are known to one are exceptions to comprehension of the general, the aggregate, the unknown quantities that give us the statistical distribution patterns, standard deviation, bell curves, etc. That’s why profiling is moral, necessary, and right — when operating with little or incomplete information about specific individuals, one must go on rates of probability.
The point is that one can be rationally racist to a degree as a matter of general policy, based on general truths, but can still also recognize that many blacks are nonetheless superior to most whites. It’s just simple cognition of percentages, outliers, etc.
