Holy fuck I was not prepared for the sheer amount of similar events described in the comments. It's is almost as if racist people are inferior human beings, unable to understand empathy. Hen and egg problem, I guess. But yeah, w.r.t. structural racism, a Zager & Evans verse comes to mind: "[..] or tear it down - and start again."

It's always been this way. Really dumb fucks ruin everything. And the meme of racism simply won't die as long as there are dumb, gullible shitheads that gobble it up. Humanity exists on a bell curve, and the smart enough people on the top end of the curve basically fight each other for the right to manipulate the idiots for their own selfishness. Racism is an easy meme and extremely virulent among religious. The actually smart people have better things to do and have no interest in all this stupid shit. Humanity is so fucking disappointing. A bunch of stupid fucking apes with nukes.

I was going to object to your first bit, but then you objected yourself. Did you notice the contradiction? :p

I would argue that the people trying to manipulate others are not "the smart ones" but a certain level of intellect is the tool you need to act out your psychopathic/sociopathic tendencies, which are actually what triggers the desire to manipulate others.

haha, you're right. The nuance you add about certain level of intellect is a good addition and it was my intent to communicate that.

That said, most manipulators still look like borderline retarded from my perspective. And there are people way smarter than myself :)
