If people abroad only see THIS stuff, (I suspect SOME don't see anything else) then we are all a bunch of illiterate, in-bred, knuckle-scraping brutes... just like the worst racist nitwit in the most overrated, self-consciously homespun yarn ever produced.
Racism existed in the US ... it was never wall-to-wall and is isn't now. I am sick of being represented to the world in this way.
Racism exists all over the world. It’s just a form of hatred, which is a form of murder.
In Africa blacks kill other blacks for being of a different tribe. They can distinguish between nose shapes and shades of brown.
This is not to excuse it. Just to admit it is a terrible part of the human condition.
Great books like “Mockingbird” help to confront it to a degree. Great movies, too, I might add. It was an excellent movie.
