Why Did Racism Get So Bad?

Why Did Racism Get So Bad?

Actually, it is logical that racism got worse in America.

There is no effective easy mechanism to stop it.

We know that racism is handed down, generation to generation.

The more people we have in the country, the more racists there will be.

As population grows, if 25% of the population is racist, then 25% of a growing number is also a growing number.

The internet and social media have allowed the most sensational stories to be shared wide and fast. Those are the stories that get the most attention. People are drawn to sick emotional sensational stories.

Racism flares up after incidents of racial violence are shared in the media.

Things quiet down when there are no sensational stories shared. But these stories are increasing in number because the number of racists is increasing. That means we are seeing them more and more frequently. The sick few are getting outsized attention.

It's only logical that racism is becoming an increasingly common story in America.

We need to empty our prisons of non-violent drug offenders and fill them with violent racists. We need to give up on the failed war on drugs, legalize everything, have treatment for drug abuse. It is time for a war on racism. How do we fight that?

We need to stand up for fairness, equality and good American values. We need to let it be known that we the good people oppose all this racism and violence.

We need to stop giving racism so much attention. We need any new laws that give us tools to apprehend violent racists. Racists get their 15 minutes of fame and then the rest of their lives are destroyed, all or most of it spent in prison.

Soon enough we will become desensitized to it as a nation. Everything gets old. We don't want to dwell on hatred as a country. If people want to destroy their own lives, then they will have to pay the price. We need to make it very clear what the sentences for racism and violence are. Some people need to get maximum sentencing to show the rest what is in store for them if they don't treat people right.

We need to teach tolerance and diversity in schools. Place our hopes on future generations. The current crop is messed up.

Obama pushing racism, you stupid fuck!

Racism was not a thing from the late 1960s until Obama, and he's not even a black American.

He's playing the US, and I see it. He's a traitor trying to pit Americans against each other.

As for you, without Covid and fake racism, you're an empty vessel.

Hello ThatOwlWoman,

I don't think that racism is worse now than it was 100 or 50 years ago. Younger ppl are far more tolerant of diversity than older ones. What's changed is having had a Racist-in-Chief that made it okay to be open about your fear and/or hatred for other ppl not like you. They are a lot more willing to show their true colors, so to speak, than when we lived in a more civil time.

Yeah, that's a big difference. It sort of stayed hidden before social media. Now we have this insensitive displaced media where you don't say things in person. That has resulted in more garbage talk and more awareness of what has been there all along. I observe that this effect has resulted in others becoming more emboldened in their racism.

The shit starts at the top and rolls down hill. Leaders have an obligation to behave in the way that you would want to raise your children, NOT spouting lies, racist crap, mockery of the disabled, misogynist comments, etc. #TRE45ON's legacy will be the destruction of civility and the enabling of division and hatred in America. And the Cult rejoices.
 
Hello JPF,

Killing Fox News (or any other news outlet) isn't going to change the facts on the ground.

The government, sports, religious leaders, the people you saw on TV, the folks who were in the lodge (people used to belong to lodges) used to be almost exclusively white, protestant, straight men. Now it's significantly not. White men see their position being usurped. So there is pushback.

Sometimes it's ugly.

Thanks for weighing in. I agree. White men see their dominance slipping away. Some are fine with it, some are not. Some feel very challenged by this. Some feel like they are owed a life of dominance just like their fathers and grandfathers had, and they are facing a world where that is going away. They don't like that. They are trying to keep white male privilege and chauvinism alive and strong. They want what they feel is due to them in an evolving culture where that is not so prevalent any more.
 
Hello evince,

Fuck racists


Let’s shame them into the hidey holes again


Make America shame racism again


That will make it great again

I disagree with that approach. I think being combative will only drive them further into confrontational posture. The barriers they erect will be built higher and stronger. We need to find a way to break down those barriers and be able to show them they are valued as people and contributory members of society; and can be valued without being racist.

Good leaders recognize that obligation. Bad leaders see it as a route to populism.
 
Hello Nordberg,

Part of it is the phone camera . The people took pictures showing cops abusing and killing the minorities. The cops could no longer lie about what they were doing. The bigots came out backing the police and it escalated from there. Zimmerman getting away with murdering Travon was another big event that created turmoil.
Bigots would not come out and proudly broadcast their hate in public before. Now that can and do.
Charlottesville was another big deal. It gac\ve space for nazis to show their hate in public too. We had a president who approved of all of it.

True story. Tales which previously remained hush-hush are not any more.

Racism has been taught through generations. However, Trump made it OK to be one and say so in public. We do not have more racism, but more racists bellowing proudly.

I think that has caused an expansion.
 
no reasonable person thinks racism is worse today

Any reasonable person knows it got worse since Trump. We are not at an equivalent to slavery days or Jim Crow. We do not have KKK marching down 5th Avenue anymore. We do not hang blacks anymore. We beat them up and throw them in jail.

Racism has always been a problem with Democrats. They are pushing it harder than ever before lately. To answer your question, you need only look in the mirror.
