      I grew up in a racist environment and parroted what was around me most of my young life. It’s all I knew, I didn’t change until I experienced the world and broadened my world view. Many of these “bigots” are ignorant and exploited. They are not evil people that should be eliminated. Your way of intolerance is the same type of ignorance you claim to hate. Dehumanizing any person or group as below you and therefore justify violence against is the worse part of society and the thing that needs to be cured. Racism is just one facet of that beast.

          Clearly, you’re not from this planet…we’re going through a shitty period right now

          looks at crime stats / looks at quantity and scale of wars / looks at quality of sanitation

          Naw, we have it pretty damn good compared compared to basically all of history.

          Certainly doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive to continue to improve.
