re: #23 Charles Johnson

My own opinion is that racism probably originally evolved as a survival trait, and is now a dangerous vestigial factor in how the human brain operates. It’s so widespread in so many societies, I believe it has to be something about the way humans are wired.

And this, by the way, would be why it resists all efforts to educate or argue it out of existence. The real gains against racism, it seems to me, come from mass disapproval of racists and their garbage. Right now we’re seeing what happens when the opposite is true, when the racists actually gain power because they’re being facilitated by morally bankrupt media and irresponsible social media.
