Thread Name: How to End Racism
Subject: RE: How to End Racism
Perhaps it's an inherent human need and racism is just another version of tribal in-group thinking we're all saddled with. It could be "racial", or it could be geographic, ligual, socio-political, philosophical, religious, economic, etc. differences that balkanize our global identities.
Like Kris Kristofferson sang:
Everybody's got to have somebody to look down on Someone they feel better than at any time they choose Someone doing something dirty decent folks can frown on If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me
That's why the Jerry Springer Show is so popular, isn't it?
