Hug a racist

I was at work today and heard a song by Lauryn Hill. It brought back a story I heard about ten years ago now. A man by the name of Doug Tracht, who worked on air, on a radio station in the states, made a comment about Lauryn Hill. Long story short, he stated "and they wonder why we drag them behind trucks." He was fired from his job and his career ended.
This got me thinking about racism. The way I see it, there are two types of racists. There are the ones who stereo type, and there are the ones that just have blind hate. The ones that stereo type, is where the bulk of the population would fit in. It is still racism, yes I know, but we all do it. Chinese people don't drive well, East Indians smell like curry, Black people are good at sports, etc. Now, I guess those comments are racist, but it's reality. Is every Chinese person a bad driver? No. I'm sure lots drive better than me. Do all East Indian smell like curry? Of course not, but a large percentage of them use curry regularly in their cooking. Are all Black people good at sports? No, but about 80% of both the NBA and NFL are African American. Some stereo types are positive, and some are negative, but a lot of stereo types have a basis. The fact that some people form opinions about a race of people based on those stereo types, is only natural. But this rant isn't about that type of racism, it's about the other type. The unjustified, blind hate of another race.
For the longest time, that type of racist made me extremely angry. The white supremacist, type. The Hitlers of the world. But I now realize, I feel more sympathy for them, than hate. They are uniformed, and ignorant. These people seriously believe that their race, is better than other races. What these racists are failing to realize is that being racist, makes them inferior to anyone that is not. If these redneck, hillbilly, inbred bible thumpers are so superior, why is a black guy running their country? Oh yeah, because he is smarter than them. The hate that radicalists have is really quite sad. They believe other races are closer to animals, than they are to humans, and would treat them as such. If you can see another human being, that doesn't have the same skin color as you, or believe in the same things as you, and want to hurt them for that reason alone, I feel so sorry for you. I'm sure it is passed down from the parents to the children, because who in the right mind would hate another human being for no valid reason, unless it was taught to you. But the fact that as the children grow into adults, they don't start to think for themselves, really indicates how stupid they must be.
My point is this. If you have a dumb, ignorant, racist man and he mates with a dumb, ignorant racist woman (which tends to be the case) what do you end up with? An open minded rocket scientist? No. You get a Texan! ahahaha! Seriously, you get a dumb, ingnorant, racist. It's not the kids fault. He will be raised a racist, and will never be smart enough to deceid for himself whether being a racist is ok or not. It's sort of like being religious. Christian parents have Christian children. It's all in the up bringing.
So next time you see a white supremacist spouting hate, or a terrorist putting a jihad on someone, instead of getting angy, try to realize, it's not this persons fault their parents were ignorant and never passed grade 9. Try to be understanding. After all, they are closer to animals than they are to human.
