You are missing my point.
Racial prejudices are a product of environment. And if the environment that produces racism doesn't exist, then a person will not be racist. Sure, that person may notice differences. But, they will not dislike that person if there is no reason to.
However, if you point out to a non-racist person that people are automatically prejudice, and that person "over there" that looks different is also prejudice, then that non-racist person may feel threatened.
Much like what we hear today from the Left.
I have no animosity towards blacks. However, I am constantly told that it is my fault and I am responsible for all of the social ills in the black community. And some have even suggested that I pay reparations for those ills.
And I am also told that it is okay for a black to make a racist statement, whether it is self deprecating or directed at whites or other minorities, because they or their family have been oppressed and suffered.
BTW, this was one of the major reasons why I left the Democrat party many years ago -- because of their toleration and perpetuation of racism.
Kind of a convoluted explanation but how I feel.
Yeah, but the environment is internal to the black culture, not the white culture. Blacks teach each other to value the opinions of whites more than their own culture from birth.
That's why whites can't say the same things that blacks say. They believe it as the truth when a white man says it.
