People have things against many people, this isn’t just race. People have always wanted to find outsiders.
If everyone is inside a circle, there will be a new outside if you see what I mean. If everyone is rich, nobody is.
To have hate in common, and people to sneer at is something humans have been doing for a long while. It makes the haters have something in common with all the other haters, makes them feel included in a group that is “better than the rest” (like supremacy)

When people enslaved people, it was helpful for them to find a reason to make these people less human. Less money paid, less guilt for treating these slaves wrong. It’s a mix of the human selfishness and instinctual wish for survival that contributed to having slaves and removing guilt for how morally wrong it is.

Like during WWII. Jews aren’t a race, but an ethnicity. They are different based on this grouping they were put into by words and a few different features. This surely wasn’t the main reason for the hate and crimes done against them. It was only because of the words that grouped them, and the different lifestyle. And it was because people have hate in their hearts.

When people aren’t doing well in life, there will be an almost desperate attempt to find perpetrators, find the cause of WHY they aren’t as happy or rich as they’d wish.
To accept the numerous reasons that aren’t black and white, and to accept one’s own impotence, is a blow to anyone’s self worth, the treasured ego.

Once you are looking for perpetrators, you have rewired your way of thinking. Viewing bad, looking only for malicious intent. The man responsible for the movement of hatred of Jews (and other groups) was really just creating a target for hate to be released, when before it was hate and anger radiating out of the people with no particular aim.

People always hate, but hate to admit they don’t always have reason, or that the reason is really just the unrestrained nature of people in power when morals are forgotten. So many little things can build to bigger. Little cultural differences, little physical differences.

People are [censored], people are ableist, people are sexist. There are always going to be groups that are hated, always have been.
I repeat that this form of hatred is NOT limited to racism. It’s all tied together, all from the same roots.

The only reason one might try to call it “skin tone” would be because they were raised with prejudiced people all around them, so that this color is tied in with the personality that they were told is bad. The skin and features are only a way to group people. It is not only the skin.

Why are people with a particular eye color never oppressed or hated for these attributes? Because that isn’t a particular group of people with a name smacked on them. As soon as people are labeled, they will be attacked based on this label, because labels are the beginning of objectification.

Perhaps I ought to be more optimistic though, maybe there will be a fix to these problems at some point in time.
Too bad I do believe this works like the Dunning-Kruger effect. Those uneducated to their own bias don’t know it exists, those who have blind spots can’t see what they are blind to.

All I have said is based on my own perspective, how I think of the issue. I believe racism is linked to psychology and not just events. Choices made by humans sprout from the mind so that is where I look.

@Johnny.SS
Funny how surface level that observation was; there was an argument, and it was obviously referenced in this topic.
This is not deep. I would say referencing past problems is unnecessary, and it makes sense to protest it, as it is literally just opening the door to more conflict.

Nobody was being rude, yet here you are saying "shut up". If you find someone stupid or incorrect, a general rule would be to BLOCK them. This eliminates the possibility of arguments if ignoring what you dislike is not up your alley.

I do not agree with quite a bit of what I see on this website; however, I do not argue with these things, because being combative is the furthest from changing opinions, nor is it productive in any way. I am not arguing now either, merely stating the fact that there are possibilities beyond arguments.

People have differing views. This is natural, and some views can be more objectively incorrect (I am not saying all opinions are good). However, there are still rules in place on this website which generally restricts controversy, as it prevents the site from being as welcoming as it could be.

Beyond this, I have no more to say. This is a 13+ website, and to see any arguing at all is somewhat surprising to me.

@Yanderemenhera ☝️🤓👍😹👏🫁👀👨‍🦳

@shrub lmao I literally just took the same one before I saw you posted this. But I got 65. I wouldn’t just trust a random test like this anyhow though, a real psychologist is who would really know.

@seesaw My notifications are hidden until I check the shoutbox/random stuff ones, then they appear. Its strange, but it has worked every time so far.

@I_eat_sharpie RIP indeed.
I want a song btw, @Sup3rSwaggyy1983 ...

@seesaw This is a very good writing, and yeah, AI agrees with everything- it has even encouraged criminal/suicidal behaviors, causing actual death.
I have first hand experience of incorrect people using AI for validation, and this causes actual issues, such as an unnecessary boost of confidence in misinformation.
I know someone who took art in college, and was very bothered by the 'AI art', which people used when they were too lazy/stingy to get a real compentent artist, and this person wrote a multiple page essay which covers the points you've brought up, so I'm very interested.
It's my opinion that AI use should be limited to numbers, summaries, and small tasks. People misuse AI, and AI has no actual morals, so it is all up to the people...

Suddenly a genie pops into your room-
'HEY MAN YOU CAN BE REBORN AS ANY PERSON EVER, JUST DESCRIBE IT TO ME!'
So now, you can be anything, have any personality, any lifestyle or family relations- whatever.
You are a different person.
So what would you tell the genie?

This is what I envision

Please don't take this wrong lmao

@Babycakes23 I've already made this topic before, but I'm 5'3.

@PrayingMantis Nothing

@questionoftheday Because homeless people aren't always documented number 1, and prisoners are put in prison as punishment for a specific amount of time until they are judged, perhaps losing their life, perhaps not. To kill a prisoner would be a felony, because they are in the legal system's custody, and starving them would kill them. Homeless people are in nobody's custody so the system doesn't care.

Books. A genie lamp.

2/10 because of the direction everything is turning, particularly politically. Besides that, bad home-life year as well- all in all, I'd rather skip it entirely.

@Idyll I would be very interested for sure as well, and recommend that.
