not being racist,I am not.. but it seems the tribal mentality is engrained...when segregation appeared in America I was to go to an intermediate school near Yorktown, VA, well I ended up from a mostly white school to probably mostly black, I got beat on for a while, always a group, well I guess I got tired of it and one day I grabbed the smallest one with the biggest mouth and for the first time in my life seriously hit someone.. I knocked him to the floor
and his tribe was descending on me and a big black fella who I played baseball with stepped up to my side and said leave him alone from now on..good old segregation..it would be wonderful if folks sought to love each other than hate each other
I think tribalism is engrained in all of our DNA. Isn’t sports fandom a sign of this? Heck the election itself is a form of it. How many people do we all know who root for a political party without knowing the actual positions of the candidates?
