I find it funny that you say it blows your mind that racism is so prevalent , then proceed to use the general term people when declaring a group stupid and hateful . You ' ve lumped individuals that think a certain way into the group stupid and hateful . Racism has nothing to do with melanin levels . It has to do with collectivism . Blacks hating whites isn ' t any different in practice than any other group hating another group . Group A can hate group B because of a multitude of reasons , and nothing will ever change as long as we lump individuals into group A and group B . You lumped people into group B . Now you ' re on the side you feel is morally superior in group A , who you feel is clearly and obviously distinct from group B .
