I kind of understand why people are racist. Been having some real shitty thoughts lately.

The term “racism” has devolved into a political bludgeon that has no meaning, and is instead a psychological tool used to neuter any type of justifiable intolerance. There are not a lot of orthodox racists in modern day western civilization. There is, however, disgust and intolerance of barbaric and third world behaviors within first world countries, as there should be, because they degrade the human experience and lead to more suffering. Humans should not be shitting in the fucking streets, nor performing female genital mutilations, honor killings, murder, vandalism, destruction of commons, piss poor manners, inability to communicate as a citizen, etc etc. There must be common sense standards within any organized country and it is patriotic to promote and fight for those standards to be emulated by fellow citizens for the good of everyone. And for the record, fuck actual racism.
