Most people are not explicitly racist, as reflected in the very small number of blacks who were physically attacked. But the significant number of blacks who were victims of what may be called systemic racism is alarming.
It's 2018. Racism has been discussed to death. Everyone should be "woke," and yet people still can't help being racist, even some of those who don't even think of themselves as racist. This is why I'm convinced that as long as people can be separated into groups based on obvious physical traits, and those groups happen to have different socioeconomic outcomes, neighborhoods, crime rates and such, racism will exist, period. No amount of legislation, race awareness or good will can change that. It's in our DNA.
The only way to permanently eradicate racism is mass intermarriage to the point where people cannot be separated into groups based on physical traits. There will still be inequality, poverty, crime and the rest. But people won't be able to put a face to them, which is what racism is actually about. I'm not saying intermarriage should be forced. All I'm saying is that if people are dead serious about ending racism, this is the only thing that's sure to work. The rest is wishful thinking or deliberate obstruction.
'Although 88% of Europeans believe that human rights help create fairer societies, 44% of people who struggle financially believe human rights only benefit those who do not deserve them.
Not only that only 58% of young people think that it is important that opposition parties can freely criticise the government. This compares to 69% of those over 65.'
'The number of people who feel disenchanted by corruption and how our democratic society works should prompt EU countries to take action. We all have a duty to ensure that human rights bring tangible benefits to each and everyone of us, no matter who you are.'
