People are just scared of anything that's different to what they know or practice. If you have a look into the history, the whole colonialism and events based on it were provoked by fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of other cultures and people who looked different and spoke different languages and even dressed differently. Africa, Asia, South America, no matter where colonialism set its foot, millions were killed, others were either converted or ensalved.
Well not much changed till 20th century. Still there were beaches which clearly mentioned non-whites were not allowed there in South Africa. Yes, this is 21st century and racism is losing is ground, but people with colonial mindset are still existing in today's society. Eventhough they don't have any authority to approve what they think or say, they are in a state of complete denial. Some of them exist in the congress, some still have their presence in politics. Why do you think so many wars are waged and so many groups are created that pose a threat to the modern world today. That's because they don't want anyone else to grow, they don't want their supremacy to fall. They don't want to lose control of things, so always targeting other nations. These whole concept of bad and good are defined by a few in power. They make some look horrible so that they can play the good guy card, but they are even worst cutthroats to begin with.
Having said that, 21st century is an age of information. Everyone is questioning everything, so it's not easy to brainwash people like Old age. Things will change, and change for the good. Any kinda supemacy will fall and radicalism will be replaced by rationalism. May not be in our lifetime, but one day for sure.
you are quite weird...so if i say Black panthers....I am being a racist? or are you too young to remember Black Panthers? there is nothing wrong with say white supremacist either. IT IS PART OF THE NAME! Christ i am getting sick of you whackos distorting everything when normal people are trying to discuss something. Shut up! if you need to say something stupid, say it to yourself! offingg is not the prejudiced one here. YOU ARE!
that is so funny how people these days feign disgust and dismay and pretend they are so protective and open-minded....then they vote Trump in. i think people should stop pretending they aren't so positive and just say what they mean and mean what they say. and whoever said that to you is actually a racist.
@offingg: She's being pedantic and trying to look clever (and failing miserably). Maybe you should have used the term White Supremacists anyway , it's more accurate.
@offingg: grammar nazi here... wait, was i being a racist right then?! Anywho! If someone is going to get all preachy and holier-than-thou, perhaps they could learn the difference between your and you're...
We've had this conversation! And no you weren't Nazi may have been white and racist but you'd have had to use white Nazi for it to be cncidered racist. Thought it would have been redundant @DarkLadyNight:
