Kyle Phoenix Answers: Why do people tend lean towards racism in an argument?



When we argue we're really disagreeing on the foundational perspective, you suddenly challenge me to think of reality as hello. Wait, there's no such animal as banana ruffle creamy jello!
Your foundation challenges supposed reality because it disagrees not with the possibility of reality being another dessert but because my subset default can't shift.

Now here's where The Matrix and racism/hegemony meet.B000GJPL1S

If I refute ice cream, I have to question my favorite flavor identification. I have to give up racism, hegemony, discrimination....the milk, sugar, ice of the foundation.
But it's the foundation of reality!
So if someone uses our go to word for hegemony, racism, similar to God, I must either accept or reject.

We are engendered to protect hegemony. We are engendered to protect racism, even by immediately discounting that it could actually be discrimination based why we're in disagreement. This is why racism persists.

Now imagine a different answer to the argument question: "Because we've all been programmed with racism and sometimes we or they are being racist though we don't always have the language or ability to point it out. Identification of racism is difficult because it is chameleonic as it is different for each of us like flavors of ice cream."

It's similar to us perhaps trusting a woman enough to investigate when she says a man did something untoward. We have now learned not to scoff but to give her the benefit of the doubt and investigate. It requires more energy to investigate than it does to dispel because even if it wasn't my intention to be racist doesn't mean it wasn't received that way.
