Nail on the head. Racism now stems from people feeling like they're no one, but they have an excuse to feel better than this person for an arbitrary reason so they take it.

There's a reason most of the racists are poor uneducated white people

The thing is - I feel bad for them for feeling like they are no one, for feeling like this is all they have. I can pretty easily get myself into a mindset where I want to give some of these folks a hug, and tell them they matter. I think many of us have felt worthless at times, either due to circumstances, due to depression, whatever.

But then I see what their voting habits are doing to this country and to our governing bodies, and that gets buried under piles of anger.
