It's sort of funny, but my dad used to say some racist stuff when I was growing up and even as small kid it never made any sense to me. I instinctively knew what he was saying was BS. I think a lot of people don't go through that, they just take what their parents say on face value. I've had to ask my dad over the years a couple of times to just not say blatantly racist stuff around me. I just didn't want to be around that negative energy. Didn't see any good out of it.
Why do some people become racist? Well it's because Joey is pushing it on all of us. He is separating us all into categories instead of uniting us a people. He wants to separate us and divide. So really you'd need to ask Biden why he became racist.
I always keep wondering if there are gains or benefits for being a racist. Does being racist makes one live a better quality of life, have things easily and makes one's life more happy and fulfilling? I really want to know because the division and destruction caused to innocent people and businesses by acts of racism is getting very alarming and I want to know if the benefits for being a racist surpass such negative aftereffects of such acts. Just a curious individual wanting to know what the benefits for being a racist are.
I don't see any benefits of being a racist. I don't benefit from being a racist, therefore, I choose not to be a racist. I do not benefit from someone being a racist.
I think some people are racists because they are angry, arrogant, and don't think rationally.
Natural Selection requires a stable, unchanging environment to which it can respond.
I completely disagree. Evolution is constant, and it works both on individuals and on groups.
I was driving through Northern Arizona a few years back. I think it was around May or June. And I was on this section of highway where there were dead rabbits everywhere. I even saw the car in front of me hit a rabbit that was running across the road. It was crazy, looked like a killing field with carcasses strewn all over the road.
The rate of evolution depends on how beneficial a trait is, and how much pressure there is on unbeneficial traits. A trait that increases your fitness by 1% isn't going to spread as quickly as one that increases it by 50%. And a trait that decreases your fitness by 1% isn't going to die off as quickly as one that decreases your fitness by 50%.
As for the rabbits, I'm going to assume that if there was a trait that reduced their likelihood of getting hit by a car, the existence of cars would make that trait more prevalent. And if there were enough cars, it might make it nearly ubiquitous within only a few generations.
But even on an individual level, you are causing evolution right now. How many children you have, or if you have none at all, your decision affects the average genome of the average human, from this point on.

What the hell kind of question is that? There is no excuse for racism, PERIOD!
There may be specific individuals that you do not like, but no excuse to hate an entire race, NUFF SAID!
Best way to become a racists is to be opposed to the socialists.
Socialists create 'racists' wholesale by declaration. They paint an entire demographic as a monolith possessing the same attributes. Which by definition is the basis of racism.
I consider myself a racist simply because I raced canoes for 20 years. Since I raced, I am therefore a racist.
Trump was turned into a racist by the big lie about charlotte.
So by today's definition a racist ensured the permanent funding of black colleges, economic zones, justice and prison reform and garnered historic black votes.
just like other words that have been redefined, like being, 'gay', Racist means support of race relations and opposition to the BLM terrorist organization.
"Infants see race, or at least skin color. Then, as early as preschool, children, especially from majority racial groups, show favoritism toward their own groups over others. Yet psychology also suggests strategies that can promote racial equality and positive interracial relationships starting from childhood. And these strategies begin with debunking the idea that children can (or should) be colorblind.
As early as 3 months old, infants begin to distinguish faces from their own racial group better than faces from other racial groups. This is even more true for infants with little exposure to people from different backgrounds. Thus, exposing our children to diverse children and adults has a direct link to how they will see race going forward.
Moreover, children in preschool and kindergarten already attribute positive traits to their own groups — their "ingroups" — over "outgroups," whether the group is based on race, gender or even random assignment (e.g., children given red versus blue T-shirts). In other words, children learn to think their own groups are nicer, smarter and friendlier than others.
Psychologists have posited several reasons for this tendency: It boosts our own self-esteem to think our group is better than others; we like what is familiar; as humans, we naturally categorize objects and people into groups; and in our evolutionary history, tracking which groups were friends or foes was integral to survival. And these tendencies might be particularly powerful when fear is involved.
Therefore, the above findings imply that colorblindness is impossible. Race must be acknowledged and discussed, since children clearly see race. Yet many parents, likely in an attempt to promote egalitarianism, take a colorblind approach about race with their children, meaning they simply never discuss it or ignore it entirely. That is a mistake.
And if taught, who taught the first racist? How did that person become racist?
