im not saying i agree necessarily, im saying it might be a means to round them up and isolate them.
Woukd you be okay with it being deemed a mental illness if it meant the ability to round up verify racists and lock them up with psychological treatment, providing no ability for these people to push their racial mindsets on others?

I would be ok with just not letting them have a president in charge with the same beliefs as them who promotes racism first of all. That would be a good start. Racism should be a crime that’s enforced.

It would be neat to see how many of the states in the top 10 in HS graduates, bachelors degree or higher and advanced degree, tend to vote democratic, vs the bottom 20 of the same.

Tho a rather surprising ranking was California. They were 2nd worse in citizens with a HS degree, but make up for it in # of bachelors and advance degrees. Similar to how NY is #40 (or #11 if you inverse it) and #10 Bachelors and #6 for Advanced Degrees.

California is 15 in bachelors, and 15 in advanced. And only one state in the bottom 11 crack the top 25 in either bachelors (New York), and only New Mexico joins California and New York in cracking the top 18 in advanced degrees.

The many demographics reflect the rankings. Also, the IVY league States reflect the student to resident factor. DC reflects the political demographic too.

Those stats can definitely be skewed to whatever suits your fancy.

So then we start to enter into creating laws based on ones thoughts. Very sticky.
I don't know where i would land on this. I supposed id need to study all the details and specifics, but at first thought, it brings the question,
How do we differentiate from a ignorant idiotic moment, and a true belief?
How do we say to family victim of a non racial murder, that victims life meant less based on the punishment, than a victim of a racial murder?


Very sticky subject, but i do believe it warrants further discussion.
Something has got to be done to stop racial hatred from being taught and passed down.

You can't tell me that Trump isn't mentally ill and that he doesn't attract others who are mentally ill.
I was taught to be racist. My whole town was predominantly racist as was my grandmother and to a lesser extent my father but somehow I felt uncomfortable with racism and felt it wasn't right. Only my church that I went to more often than anyone except maybe and I do mean maybe our priest, never ever said or did anything racist. Perhaps that helped me out.
Anyhow, I'm as anti racist as any white man can be. Maybe that's because I can relate to anyone who is disadvantaged and downtrodden. You know what? I'm going to attribute some of my caring to what I learned about love and caring from my faithful companion, my dog.

I am not qualified to assess mental illness, I think Trump is a sociopath (not a mental illness) and that he appeals to the worst. To selfishness, resentment, meanness, bullying.

I am quite willing to believe the unconditional love of an animal can help us accept other humans.

Didn't you serve in the military? In military, regardless of what one thinks of a given war, you all have to live and work together.

Certainly a mentally ill person can be racist, so can a non mentally ill person, and a mentally ill person can be non-racist. Separate issues.

All due respect, no. A social disease maybe but saying racists are just mentally ill let's them off the hook. Like they can't help it.

Just as saying all racists are sane lets lefty society off the hook for their history of ignoring, abusing, and underserving America's enormous population of mentally ill.

In fact, most hardcore racists are either mentally ill or mentally retarded. And usually it's quite apparent. They have no friends. Family members have distanced themselves. Their lack of self esteem is totally on display.

This is ignored by the left and media because the Deep State needs to keep racism alive to divide the masses.

In the real world of America, most of us get along with each other fine, and judge others by their actions if they judge them at all.

Education.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_educational_attainment

Sort by Bachelor or Advanced rank - and you will get to see who are the people that will lead these states at some point and thus will be influential on a lot of things. When you have less educated people you have less variance in the people that lead and set the agenda - and this leads to generational problems - which makes conspiracy theories, tribalism etc...

I do not believe it is mental health.

Failed premise.

Most people who spend a large portion of their lives in a classroom miss a large portion of potential education they would have attained from the experience of spending the time instead as a responsible adult paying their way, raising a family, actually interacting with people from all walks of life, sharing and overcoming hardships and challenges...

Rubes, greenhorns and pansies are what comes out of "higher education", pompous Jeopardy contestants who have no idea how to drive a stick shift, avoid hypothermia or clean a salmon.

But whatever they do or don't become, they rarely go back home. Most end up in big cities, usually the one that they attended school in.

If it's your contention they are programmed in school to be racist, I would agree somewhat but racism stems from a natural defense we are born with called distrust or wariness of different cultures and creatures. And it's most prevalent in big cities where cultures collide.

Here's a news flash, it was Reagan that screwed over my mentally ill brother. They forced him to move out of my mother's house and out on the street where he couldn't get his pants on the right way, they were backward, and he had his shoes on the wrong feet. He was left sleeping on a sidewalk somewhere where he was robbed of all of his money which he needed for food. There were a lot of mentally ill in that sorry state of condition in those days.
