I Hate Racism and Discrimination

Neo-Nazis, skinheads, the KKK, the Ayran Brotherhood, all of these groups are coming out of the wood work lately, louder and angrier than ever, determined to take back a place in "the mainstream" and people fearfully believe it's because they're on the rise and getting bolder.

But what if they're not?

The data says the overwhelming majority disagree with racists and other bigots, and the racists know this because they're reading the same studies as everyone else. I believe this knowledge has terrified them. Elderly bigots live in terror of their children or grandchildren bringing home a person of color as a spouse, coming out as gay, or telling the family they're an Athiest. Younger racists feel the same way when they see a mixed race child or interracial couple, but know all they will get is angry, disgusted looks if they say a word. When an animal is cornered, frightened, and dying, it will bare its teeth and growl louder than ever. So what if the marches, rallies, and constant blogging of neo-Nazis and other bigots isn't a sign of their return, but their anguished and resentful death rattle?


So the next time I see some clean cut suit wearing racist talking about his "policies" on TV, I'm going to laugh at him. Because he doesn't believe he can win. He just wants to piss off people before he goes down.


And I won't give him the satisfaction.

The left is a lot louder and expressive than any other political group. So does the same concept apply, let’s hope so.

@SW-User So what do you want? To go back to the "good old days" of segregation and witch burnings? People won't stand for that.

@MidsouthGuy I don’t know why people like you aren’t capable of realizing those are days that will never come back. No serious politician campaigns or rallies for legitimate discrimination.

@SW-User Oh I realize it's never coming back. And I believe the neo-Nazis and KKK know this, and fear that their ideas will be dead within at best a century. So they're being louder and angrier than ever to try to frighten people.

@SW-User I'm glad you've finally realized Trump is not a serious politician.
MidsouthGuy · 31-35, M
@SW-User Dead? No. Dying? Yes. There are Klan rallies and neo-Nazi gatherings regularly, and social media has given these people a way to communicate and mobilize like never before. They can't win, but they can be a pain for years to come. And that's their only goal at this point. So instead of fearing them or "bitching" about them, I'm going to mock and deride these morons the way they deserve.
