Only after the fall of the Soviet Union that we have stupid skinheads and Neonazi. Remember that, Communism help unite and bring together humanity. My father agree that Soviet was one of the greatest time ever. He have to witness it fall as a Vietnamese studying in Russia at that time. That is why I love Communism, we treat each other like brothers and sisters.
But where did the skinheads and Neonazis spring from? They didn’t just materialize out of thin air and capitalist fumes. Perhaps they existed all along and the fall of USSR merely allowed them to take off their masks and roam freely.
People are not born racists, they’re turned into one by the social condition they’re thrown into.
I agree, racism was taught. You hate someone because they wrong you in someway. If we were taught not to hate, then shit like this would never happen.
Sometimes is not even because they wronged you, but because you THINK they wronged you, even if you dont have any proff that they did something, you still think they did. Rascism is generally based on ficcticious gruges that where planted on the mind of people, basically an artificially builded hate.
That’s true, but I think it’s also the result of formerly socialist nations opening to Western/American culture. Racism is an effective way to ensure proletarians are divided and Racism is one of the great American exports. They’re clever about it, they make films about how Racism is wrong, but those same films portray Racism as a natural fixture of life and society, that it just innately exists and will be a perpetual struggle between good and evil forever and you can only choose to be good.
Not only is that conceptually incorrect, but plenty of people out there also don’t want to be “right” (particularly when the social conditions are bad) and these films introduces them with how to be “wrong” as well as legitimising the idea that Racism already existed as an important struggle and they’re merely picking a side rather than instigating Racism in their own nations.
So, it’s hardly a coincidence that the world’s racists all use the same words, they’ve heard them all in American media, which I’m sure won Oscars for having powerful messages about preventing Racism.
