I don't have you on ignore but that does not change the fact that you never have anything of value to add.
Hey, no this is a serious thread. Can you list here some examples where the conditioning is just obvious. Please do not run away as many are doing. LOL
If you're serious about this, you aren't going to get much out of the conservatives -- which constitute the bulk of those who post here -- since they are blind to their own racism while at the same time rationalizing their prejudices in order to justify them (it's a tricky little two-step). Therefore, whatever they believe is "right". There are, however, others who might be interested in such a discussion. I suggest, however, that you also look at the Indian and British caste systems as well as the motives for the never-ending genocides in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. It's all part and parcel of the same thing. Ours just happened to start with slavery.
There's certainly no shortage of pseudo deep thinkers and pseudo intellectuals around the "inter webs" lately. While they spend years researching, surveying, deliberating and generally wasting their time, here's something that will help right now.
I have looked into the Indian caste system and its various forms. This is normal as when people migrate, they bring with them their existing systems. So as Indians and their "genetic variations" spread, their system spread as well with its ills, even if originally the system was meant for good purposes. Regarding conservatives : I am conservative on Values. I see the point of these. However, if things had been left to conservatives, we would still have 9 years old working 16 hours a day in factories and not being allowed to school. This is where "progessistes" come : seeing the excesses of conservatives and getting the improvements that are needed. And for conservatives to make sure that "progessives" do not become extremes in their permissiveness. Well, all about balance.
Wow that's what I call a pragmatic person. I wonder if I should get this thread closed , and open a new one : how to spread self-responsability
