It’s primarily a flaw in how our brains work. We make associations based on how we are raised and powerful subjective experiences, not reason or moral truth. Thus if a person is taught something reprehensible by someone in what they consider authority, or they feel an emotional response to something, they are likely to draw a conclusion based upon that experience.
To a point yes. But those instincts can lead us to do what are objectively very stupid things. For example, there have been thousands of excess deaths in the United States after 9/11. Not from anything related to the attacks themselves, from automobile accidents. Because 9/11 was such a major emotional event it caused many people to develop an aversion to flying. And because flying is many times safer than driving, many of those people have since been killed or injured in car crashes.
The survival instinct is extremely primordial, this extremely simple. “Ungabunga see Goosh get eaten by tiger when he go in cave, so Ungabunga avoid cave.” It’s actually older than that, but you get the idea. It doesn’t account for things like advanced knowledge of the causes of things, or any kind of moral system. It’s just how the first life forms which developed brains managed to survive.
Causation fallacy. Black people commit more crime =\= black people are inherently criminals. There is a casual element which you’re ignoring, namely that black Americans tend to live in areas where a negative culture is present. A white guy from O block is just as likely to be a criminal as a black guy. A black guy from Nantucket is just as likely to be a straight laced financial advisor as a white guy.
Once again the same fallacy. Dark skin is an adaptation to solar radiation levels, areas with high solar radiation levels tend to be… hot. And hot areas are more difficult to build effective civilizations in because there is increased pressure from disease. Africa also happens to have shit geography. Which led to limited civilization, which led to conflict, which restricted civilization even more. Nothing to do with the genetics of the inhabitants.
I didn’t say inherently, or else it would be 100%. But the facts say that 70% of the black people in my community and communities like mine are bad news. And of course there’s white people with shit culture as well, I try to avoid them too. But somehow I’m racist for pointing out the clear pattern in who I should be wary of?
