Racism Doesn't Exist

Racism only exists because we lack enough memory to remember that many things - so we simplify things.

Racism is just one of those things that we simplify so it's easier for us. There are others too, other "-isms". We may dislike american fast food for their oily fried style...but isn't our local fried food just as bad too? What do we call that? Foodism? :p

Racism is partly ignorance...but it's also partly because we cannot remember that many things to keep in mind not ALL are like a certain race.

It's the same reason why history repeats itself. We can't remember what happened a long time ago...so it happens again.

George Bush rise to power is pretty much the same way how Adolf Hitler did. Someone relatively unknown seemed to offer hope to the people of their nation...and so power was given to them...but power...like the One Ring in The Lord Of The Rings...corrupts people.

Both got active after an important symbol was damaged that could give them reason to do something - the burning of the German Parliment, and the destruction of the New York World Trade Center. Both attacks were suspiciously tied to the leaders as being the mastermind behind the attacks so they could rise to power. This is typical of someone with the desire to rule. It's happened in history many times before. We just forgot about it as each generation comes. It's even happened in fiction - Star Wars rise of the Emperor is based on the same concept. Plan something bad, offer to help, then rule. Tsk, tsk.

We have limited memory - make use of it to remember what's really important to you. Unlike computers, we can't upgrade.
