🧟‍♂️ Cadaver

You know, let us be honest for five minutes.

Psychology has shown that we have biases against anyone who doesn’t look like us. It’s just survival 101 from not so ancient times.

So maybe your parents had theses biases, unconsciently. Maybe even, they have been raised in a society which was racist, by definition. If they have lived anytime before the eighties, things were really rough (not that it’s not right now, but it was something else…)

Now, let’s just say that at their core, they were racist. So what ? Is it really important ? They have shown you how to behave, what is right and what is not. They have worked to better themselves, so that is the only thing that should matter.

Because, in the grand scheme of things, your parents would have told you from age two : do not shit in your pants, and they would have done the same. With dementia, maybe at some point they even forgot that one rule so… Being racist is excusable, because -and I’m sorry- they were not themselves in their final hours.

Are you a man at work ?

While it’s nice, let’s not forget that it’s exactly the kind of thing that right wingers are doing with mainstream media and how much it hurts to only have one view of the world.
