So close he can taste it

Not really, no. They're kind to everyone they meet and never hurt anyone on purpose. They're just flawed. Uneducated. Not bad people. No one is perfect, and some of us are less perfect than others. I think a lot of us got lucky to have access to good educations, to have families who prioritized our educations, etc. In a lot of parts of the country, it's not like that. Schools aren't good in a lot of places, there aren't a lot of opportunities... Some people grow up not understanding how things work outside of their town. Some have never met a black person or have never actually gotten to know someone who's black personally, for example, but have spent their whole lives hearing racist shit from other people. I think it's a lot more of a cultural and educational difference than it is people being bad people. The way some people are grown up and taught, it takes a remarkable or very lucky person to break out of it.
