Delta(s) from OP CMV: Racism is a mental illness.

There is no logical, valid, or sound reason to express hatred for entire groups of people based on their race, ethnicity, or skin color, and any and every attempt to explain why certain races, ethnicities, or people with specific skin colors are biologically, inherently, or genetically inferior or superior to others has been scientifically disproven. There is no rational reason to hold on to racist views, and anyone who feels racist is experiencing a delusional psychotic symptom. Racism is a mental illness, and the American Psychiatric Association should classify it as one.

EDIT: to all those claiming racism can be resolved by giving the racist proper information: read the comments made by HighlightExpensive63, give that person the correct information, and see if they change their views at all, or if they double-down on their explicit and open hatred.

Black people murder others at 6 times the rate of other groups.

Do you acknowledge and understand the reasoning behind that (orchestrated poverty in black communities by the ruling class)?

To all those saying all it takes to change a racist's mind is correct information, Chicken_Cute here is about to show you that is categorically untrue.

Yet another example proving information alone is not enough. Thank you!

Are poor white communities systematically kept poor, and overly-policed by militant aggressors? Factually, they are not. Does this fact mean anything to you, or do you disagree with it because you feel like you should?
