Do u think racism is natural to some extent?
I mean if u never heard the word “racism”, would it be possible to be a racist?

Define racism.
If you mean systemic, discriminatory racist practices by those who need or want to feel superior or entitled, I believe it is largely learned. Either out of malicious, deliberate purpose for self-gain or an effort to deny both the impact of historical practices nor the unintended consequences of legislation/practices by those blind to their impact on others.
If you mean in terms of identification, and a feeling of caution/separation around people of different races/cultures, I believe there is a basic instinctual reaction in all races that can be traced back to our tribal roots.

@OluwoleFemiJacob We're dealing with human beings. They do not fit into the digital algorithm code of being yes or no.

@dancingtongue oh really you think so ?

@OluwoleFemiJacob Yes, I do. If you want yes/no answers, ask simple questions like that. Not complex ones about human nature--that only leads to demonization and an avalanche of bumper sticker bulletpoints and fingerpointing.

@dancingtongue this is a question that she has that actually deserved such answers
If you are to say things the way it truly is
You have to see from that perspective
