meh, he killed like 500 russian guys for stealing his daughter, and he get mad and want to kill a one black guy, but doesn't and like a week later he's over it??
What is wrong with you people who think this is wrong. Anyone
Read 1984??? Am I the only one who this scared the hell out of? the idea that you could be prosecuted aand executed for not think like the rest of the hive mind?!?!
I guess for some it is better to be apart of a hive mind than allow anyone the freedom to think for themselves lest somethig bad happen like a guys story of someone hating any black guy he came across for a week, but also lived in a area so devoid of black people or anything like it he could not find anyone so he let it all go

And that is laudable.
Sometimes you can recognise your prejudice and act to mitigate it.
Its people who wont who are the problem.

I'll tell you something, though. I am pretty sure that many of those who consider themselves to be ultra-liberal are in their own way just as bigoted as neo-Nazis. Ultra liberals have this maddening way of acting like people owe them for their 'acceptance'. And they have this maddening way of going around and patting themselves on the back for how accepting they are. And they get angry when someone points out to them that no one owes them anything for their acceptance. I have told a lot of them that "If you think that someone should be grateful to you for your acceptance, then you have to think that person must be a lesser being than you." It's all, "Ooh, I'm up here, and you're down there; and I'm accepting of you; don't you think that's special?." And then they wonder why people are telling them to go fuck themselves.
And you also get the feeling that people like that are actually afraid of black people who don't act white. They'll positively crap their pants if they see any black people with guns. Chances are, we are all a bit racist. It's in our DNA. We shouldn't embrace, but we also shouldn't deny it. We should just be aware of it so that we can keep it under control and make conscious efforts to treat each other fairly.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.

Some people will always be prejudiced at heart and if they know that and go against their feelings its a step in the right direction surely.
Your way just perpetuates hatred and imbeds it.

He admitted to thinking something that was wrong. Big whoop. It would be different if he didn't know it was wrong now.

No, it's not better than not accepting. It's worse. It's the same bigotry but less honest. It's more popular because it makes people feel good about themselves and superior to others.

Smart money would have been for him to keep his yawp shut. I've been wronged in the past (not here or elsewhere on the internet) and entertained some serious revenge scenarios, but did not act on them. If I were to bandy some of those thoughts about, I'd be hounded off the site.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

We fucking all have thoughts like that. It's human nature. The only thing special about this is that he said it out loud.
