Racism occurs where people of one group or another, who hate themselves, are in contact with some other group they can select to dump their self hate onto, somebody they can blame for the anger they feel hating themselves. Thus they teach the other group to hate themselves and then the other group comes after them for revenge. This is how the Germans created the Jew and the Jew the Palestinian. It's how the KKK created the Black Panthers. We always create exactly what we fear. We turn others into exactly the stereotype of evil that we. We turn people into what we hate about ourselves; we make them as worthless as we secretly feel.
Thus is is that white Southern culture gave America it's problem with Blacks, a people who suffer continuous racism to this day and constant problems with self doubt, self loathing, and self abnegation, a people who live now with the consequences of self destruction as part of their culture, fatherless families, crime, drugs, and everything else we typically refer to as inferior.
When people are taught they are worthless they live that way and fulfill all the stereotypical negatives they are charged with, thus appearing to justify their inferior status.
Once the disease of self hate becomes endemic in a culture, that culture walks a path to self destruction and manifests inferior qualities which reinforce the stereotype. Blacks actually become inferior because they feel they are and white people can see it. And in this way they find justification for their racism. You can't tell a racist that Blacks are equal because they can see they are not, it gets reinforced in a million ways throughout their lives.
So we create our own reality. We have made Blacks feel inferior and now they are because they feel it. And like everybody else they do not want to see their own self hate. They blame you white people and of course they are right, except that is was never a conscious act or intentional.
So the fact is that where there is stereotyping such as that Blacks are inferior, it is based on real evidence, the fact that people who feel inferior act that way.
And now we come to the Southern White. You know, the hayseed, the ignorant clod buster, the dumb hick, the racist pig, the backward Neanderthal, all those stereotypes that are there because they reflect reality, the fact that Southern White people are actually inferior, just like the Blacks they created.
Yes, what goes around comes around and comes home to roost. Southerners are thought of as backward because they are in exactly the same way that Black people are inferior. Southern White people have massive emotional scars which makes they profoundly hickish, clannish and insular twits, generally speaking, of course.
