I'm white, I've been in jail (not prison), I've been put to the ground by an officer, I was doing dumb shit when I was a dumb shit.

But as soon as you introduce color, aren't you seeing color and preventing the fundamental problem from fading away?

You can't force it away, you have to teach it away, right?

Do children see color naturally or do we teach them how? Where are they primarily learning this? (I suspect from video screens more so than IRL, sources widely varied)

I guess from being treated like dirt and excluded. This can happen to white males too, but is systematic against how people where born and look.

If you move abroad, the same can happen to you.

Moving abroad / long term travels are the best way to realize we are all the same, have the same basic dreams and desires, that there are bad apples in all walks of life, and is really a great way to lose prejudice, myself a case in point, but most who travel (beyond site seeing) relate this transformation

I absolutely agree with that but this view is limited to a subgroup who can empathise. The reality is in multiple modes, competition and all for oneself’s interests is generally a frequently met philosphy to a quite large subgroup and thats a human nature thing. Only when we all realize that it’s better for all of us if we’re not predominantly ruled by psychopaths and narcisits maybe things will turn around

We will stop glorifying narcissists and psychopathic systems after they make the world burn. Their positive traits turn destructive in excess.

Most people abroad are friendly. Makes one think why we hang on to old conceptions and limited beliefs, and instead meet people "as new".
