And you know what?
I believe him!
‘Cause racism is much more than meets the eye at first glance…
Dictionaries teach us that a racist is “a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.”
But there’s a problem with this definition.
When was the last time when you’ve met a self proclaimed ‘racist’?
‘Racist’ is label. Affixed by others, on people they do not agree with.
Meanwhile, those who entertain, or just display, such sentiments see, or just describe, themselves as ‘defenders of their own kin’.
As ‘fighters for justice’ while those belonging to ‘the other side’ see them as villainous oppressors.
In fact, there are two kind of ‘racists’. The bona fide and the con-artists. Oftentimes both inhabiting the same persona….
The bona fide are ‘somewhat scared’ about what’s going on around them and in dire need of social support – the reason for them huddling together with like-minded people while giving up a sizeable portion of their free will/intellectual autonomy.
The con-artists are those who mimic the fears experienced by the bona-fide in order to gain control over them. Or to otherwise exploit the situation. Oftentimes the con-artists interpret their roles with so much passion that they end up convincing themselves…
Donald Trump is neither.
He has convinced himself that he is so above everything and everybody that nothing will ever hurt him.
He’s not afraid of anything. He cannot, ever, be a bona-fide racist.
Neither is he a ‘fake’ one. He’s simply too smart for that. He actually knows that pretending such things would be bad for business.
Then why did he say something so awful?
It was a Freudian slip…
