Why is anyone a racist?

That's what I don't get. I want to understand how these people think, what is it about black people that turn these people into racists? Maybe if we get to the root of the problem a solution through proper conversion will be possible.

So you look to the repressed sector as the cause of the hate? That's like asking a wife what she did to make her husband beat her up.

Ignorance causes racism.

Probably stareotypes based on skin color. That would be my guess at least, but who knows.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Ignorance causes racism.

His question is more "Why did the husband beat his wife" (asking the racist/wife beater what exactly their reason is, isn't blaming the victim)

Other races too suffer bigotry.

No particular surprise at this Wiki bit about the FLDS:


Warren Jeffs, President of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints since 2002, has made several documented statements on black people including the following:
"The black race is the people through which the devil has always been able to bring evil unto the earth."
"[Cain was] cursed with a black skin and he is the father of the Negro people. He has great power, can appear and disappear. He is used by the devil, as a mortal man, to do great evils."
"Today you can see a black man with a white woman, et cetera. A great evil has happened on this land because the devil knows that if all the people have Negro blood, there will be nobody worthy to have the priesthood."
"If you marry a person who has connections with a Negro, you would become cursed."
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

FFS, these people are ignorant. We're all out of Africa.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
