I agree your belief is admirable, but it is extremely naive if you think it will make a difference on a large scale even if there are millions who believe what you do.

We already had a movement about peace, love, and understanding that was very popular with a huge chunk of the population doing the acts you described in the 1960s.

You have also clearly not spent any amount of time with the kind of people you think you can emphasize with. I lived in rural Idaho for Obama's years. I couldn't count the amount of times people joked about hanging or shooting him.

You want to empathize with a racist who wants a man dead just because he is black? I did plenty of this and guess the positive change it made. Yeah, it didn't matter at all.

The only way is to stop the propaganda. This is the source. Hate radio, Faux News, and now Xshitter feed people with lies using psychological manipulation to twist their minds and hearts.

It takes years, sometimes decades, to deprogram people from this if they are willing to change. They are creating new racist losers at a pace you cannot keep up with. This is the reality we face.

You can spend years turning the heart of a racist and certainly some people have done this successfully.

Meanwhile propaganda has turned out another ten thousand racists in the time it took you to change a couple minds.

To be frank your belief is not completely wrong but it will not solve our current problems.

You hint on the reality that it is our social constructs such as social media that is driving this resurgence of hate.

As a social worker by trade I can say I know a lot about this topic. There is a classic story of people getting swept into the river.

While it is admirable that you want to jump in to save people the real solution is going upstream and stopping people from falling in.

Understanding racist losers will not accomplish what you want. Changing their minds will not either. You have to stop it at the source.

You just got to get to know the Nazi to understand them?

Oh wait it is more nuanced than that. You gotta get to know the racist to emphasize with them?

Dang it, we got to dig deeper. You have to get to know the misogynist to get them?

Sometimes getting to know someone is not the magical solution people think it is.

Wow, that is some serious horseshit. You only have to check out the comments section of Faux news to see thousands of examples of what you try to deny.

Have fun trying to gaslight people!

Pretty incredible. It is very clear now why Muskrat is so interested in Infowars fate. He is also guilty of running a foreign propaganda site. He sold access to manipulate countries. Absolutely disgusting.

I am sorry that you have to deal with people like that. It sounds like their organizations are dysfunctional.

It is almost like if you kill off half the male population there is twice as much stuff and two women for every man. We just need another world war to get there am I riiight?

We have reached a great filter for society. If you are a woman and care about your rights you just need to know how a man voted to determine their value. You gotta dump if they voted for Trump.

My daughters have to live in this shit hole now. I am both angry and sad that it appears we are moving backwards.

I will fucking end someone if I hear them say this or anything like it to my daughter.

In real life firing means you made the wrong pick and is not looked upon as a good thing unless you are a sociopath. I suppose if you came into a company to clean house some would view it as correct but they are probably shareholders who have perverse incentives.

Long story short, Americans don't generally like bosses and don't approve of firings unless it is obvious the choice was correct, for instance firing someone who is toxic.

Having had to fire someone as a director myself I would think it strange to be brought up in an interview and probably a red flag.

Nope, you are confusing Dumps reality TV show with actual reality. I guess it does get a little confusing as his whole presidency seems to be a parody. People who voted for him truly are some of the stupidest human beings to ever exist.

The Cherokee genocide was seriously fucked up and the Trail of Tears ended in Oklahoma.
