I tried not to laugh at that
But I know you failed.
Anyone else who has light skin make jokes about White People?
We are way past 'systematically killing them'. We are at the point where rights are taken away and people (children) are being tortured and humiliated as human beings.
What was your answer to where rights came from again? I imagine In was in line with the morality statement of ‘found in nature and carried by all cultures ‘.

Vaguely…? I'm failing to see a point
More of a clarification.

What can I say? (shrugs)
So I’m going to say that racism will never stop. Because it is part of our nature and instinct to survive to notice differences and be uncomfortable with them. Because it is in our make up to have these feelings about differences, the most obvious difference such as skin color can never be completely gotten over. It takes humanity going from instinct to logic, and… I don’t think many people are capable of that. So racism will persist. But racism is a part of the disease, not the disease itself. It all comes from the distrust of differences that can lead to fear and then hate. The only thing we can do is to learn to conquer the biases in our nature against the unfamiliar and be logical judges that learn to evaluate before considering one thing good and another evil.
Oh and we passed 100 so YAY!

Yay!
Yay! Have we come to the conclusion, then, that racism stems from the human instinct to fear, distrust, or lower the unknown?
That doesn't ring true to me. People with different colored skin isn't "unknown", it's just different. I think it stems from the historic significance of the us vs them narrative, which is innately political.
It comes from difference to not us to us vs them. And Americans have a history of this that pertains excessively to race. But that is only one way it can go. Perhaps the easiest as it is the most obvious. But it can happen based on any difference be it sexual orientation to religious views to politics and many others.

But let's not forget that racism is taught not an instinct that we are born with. Babies do not discriminate. Children don't hate. But going through the school system and life in general, humans are taught to constantly fight to be better than everyone else, what privilege is, what constitutes as beauty etc.
And what is ours and right.

Hate is not right
Adding on to what you were saying. “right” I suppose since a lot of it is relative and subjective, such as what food is right. Pita and hummus for instance. Very right.

Many people I guess. They pop up no matter who you are with.
To be fair they probably think it is necessary instead of good.

I will consider this point, because it is well made and I cannot think of an argument for it.
