Racism and hatred thread

[Decentric]

Stan Grant was the guest on ABC radio's 'Conversations' interview show yesterday. I thought he was great and I highly recommend anyone listens back on the app or to the podcast.

He's got some very interesting opinions on race, integration and indigenous affairs. I know he's not going to be everyone's cup of tea and can be a bit prickly but then you can’t please all of the people, all of the time...

He's obviously a high profile journalist but I think people like this should be in politics and not just talking or writing about it.

Interesting?

Fearing others is hard-wired into our brain due to evolution for good reason. There's science around this. That then so happens to manifest itself in us as racism and prejudices.

The struggle is to overcome those inbuilt biases In today's world which, in general, we largely do.

This isn't an Australian thing. It's a human thing. (That's not to excuse racists in Australia or anywhere else, they make me sick.)

Well said so you think racist people are really in fear?

Basically humanity would need a common ‘other’ to unite against and thus require the dissolution of these prejudices; that was partly the premise of Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias’ plan in Watchmen.

Put simply, if this were to happen to a white-supremacist..they’d no longer be inclined to think nonwhite people are anywhere near the worst thing out there:

I'm no expert but I would hazard to guess that it's a deep-seated, ingrained bias due to fear that evolved due to sound survival strategies starting some 400 000 (or more) years ago.

Though it’s true that Hitler admired certain aspects of ‘Islamic culture’(in particular the stereotyped treatment of women), it still doesn’t change the fact that Nazi ideology decreed Arabs/Levantine peoples to be subhuman. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem would’ve realised this the hard way had the Axis won the war

Racism during the Liverpool match

Thankfully the muppet was identified and ejected by police and he'll never be back. Did he think being in a wheelchair would see him have sympathy. The fact he rolled up right behind to say his peace shows how much intent there was.
