On Racist Hate

Racism, at least in its more extreme forms if they ever were again to come to the boil, is undoubtedly a great stymie to the kind of multi-plural, tolerant, exotic and global humanity most of us would like to see today. The intense hatred directed at people who are perceived as 'racist' nowadays (even if it is only of the mildest sort, such as merely using a non-P.C. word), however, in its sheer nastiness reveals that it can only be the product of a fundamental self-hatred. Such tribalism runs deep in all of us - it is how we evolved, a type of 'kin selection' - and It is as if these self-proclaimed 'social justice warriors' are so angry that they are not allowed or able to express their own fundamental racial prejudices that they attack anyone who does from sheer unbridled, unmitigated envy. In their resorting to such malicious attacks, they are appealing to their victims lowest instincts - simply to change their utterances out of social or physical intimidation - which only goes to reveal their own hypocrisy. Giving into such fear to some extent only validates their contemptuous valuation of the victim of their accusation, shows the latter's cowadice, and makes him ripe for further attacks. Yet it is equally damaging, if not more so, to the soul of the aggressor who hypocritically jumps at our throats in the name of perceived 'justice' (even if done with basic good intentions or in a cause that may otherwise be sound), since by doing so they are assenting to the general maxim 'intimidate someone into agreement with you', and by doing so agreeing to submit to and re-enforce the tendency to be governed by the same irrational intimidation themselves, in their own Being. They thus deprive themselves of the moderation and autonomy necessary for any authentic moral valuation whatsoever, negating their own human dignity as well as others
