racism is very real. it exists in all different kinds of ways: systematic, institutional, personal, global, etc. and as far as crimes are concerned, the environment is the greatest indicator of that. someone being a certain color has nothing to do with it. psychological profiles and learning environments have a lot do with it, as well as finances. humans, as a whole, commit a lot of violent or criminal acts. some just are better at being discreet than others. fearing what one does not understand is a natural thing, yet one's actions from that fear are the tale of the tape. an unbiased mind with great love for all mankind is ideal, but what we experience everyday is realistic. when one race has more power and doesnt want to lose it, it will do what it has to do to keep control. and that is just one aspect. if u played for the Texans, you are not gonna let the 49er's win. you are going to pull all stops for the victory. this is just man's competitive nature. if you follow along closely, you will see. and most people don't really like themselves. how they gonna like you? one will combat that and say i love myself. i hope you do, but there is a generalized understanding or rule of thumb. the powers that be set the tone one way, and watch over the flock. when they see those that are rare or rebellious or is outside t of the box, they react accordingly. it could mean anything from having that out of the box team up with them, or getting rid of them. when u decide to speak on racism, understand it can be inbred or it could be learned, or it could exist out of pure fear. its a case by case basis. and never forget that the fish rots from the head. the people are a reflection of its leaders.
