Safety? What kind of safety is in this? Where’s the invasion (not the fake evidence that they are knowingly lying about)? And why do others not react like this? And why maintain it when there’s clearly, in a way that is impossible to miss at this point, no threat? And why are the opportunists and charlatans doing this? Why prioritize money and power and control over human lives and a better society for everyone (they are part of everyone)??? ~Cherri
I dunno why can’t I stop eating sugar but other people can? I wasn’t being shitty or dog whistling just trying to give a real answer that doesn’t depend on others being inherently morally bankrupt, which I think is a form of othering that just leads to division and violence or worse historically. We’re all just people made up of almost entirely the same parts.
black people gained freedom. A lot of white people who were rich at their expense hated them for their freedom. They also saw them as inferior humans. This hate was passed through generations.
the CIA started a drug abuse pandemic in black communities intentionally.
black people were poor compared to white people. Being hated reduced their opportunities.
poverty and drug trafficking leads to higher crime rates.
a higher crime rate leads to more discrimination and less opportunities.
go back to step 4. It becomes a cycle.
So these people either hate them because their cultural heritage (which seems likely for Alabama) or because the black community has a higher rate of violence, which is also the fault of white people.
Then it just leads to “why project that onto Black people who aren’t committing crimes?” and “Why keep doing all the stuff that’s very clearly making it worse?” ~Cherri
Why do they think other people have to be like them to deserve basic dignity and respect though? ~Cherri
Probably biologically a safety thing so you don’t welcome in some neighbors that invade you or whatever.
More modernly, it’s mostly opportunists and charlatans ‘hacking’ this phenomenon to build power.
The old animal part of the brain is way stronger and more developed than the logical ‘civilization’ parts.

I think the problem goes like this:
they enslaved black people.
black people gained freedom. A lot of white people who were rich at their expense hated them for their freedom. They also saw them as inferior humans. This hate was passed through generations.
the CIA started a drug abuse pandemic in black communities intentionally.
black people were poor compared to white people. Being hated reduced their opportunities.
