White Racists
What to do about white racists?
I mean, do white racists blame THEIR ethnicity when members of THEIR tribe do bad things?
No, of course not. But is it fair to blame white racists for being what they are? Because, unless you're racist yourself, you have to know that white racists weren't born that way. Racism is learned behaviour. Which means that society, our society, is to blame for white racists.
Oh dear... unless white racism is nature, not nurture, and some little white babies are just festering bundles of hate waiting to happen...
Gawd. That'd be weird. Laying in the nursery feeling all superior, checking off the negative racial stereotypes of the other babies because you were born a white racist? And imagine how awkward it would be for your non-racist, socially progressive, left-leaning parents at an NDP convention when your first word is the N-word...
Okay. Let's not go there and let's just all agree that white racism is a learned behaviour, from parents, family, friends, educators, cults, politicians, churches (oops, I already said cults), co-workers, madmen shouting out racist slogans on street corners...
White racists - how DO they get that way?
