Thanks for the discussion. Would like to emphasize, again, that I don't think all "white people are racists" I think all human beings who are raised in structural racism are racist to invisible degrees. . Also, importantly, that we can and do pride ourselves at working against racism, even while we unknowing participate in an unbalanced system where cop culture is a threat to many people.

Further, yes, I do believe that what we are programmed in from youth, faith, inferiority, sexism, internalized low esteem, or anything at all, DOES have an influence of a kind, even if we are influenced to avoid it.
