At a Greyhound bus terminal in 1988, somewhere in the Midwest. Nice conversation with an elderly, white, Christian lady. She said things like: "We should all get along, human rights are for every person and I don't understand racism." A (mixed) couple walks by..."What a shame they are going to hell. Everyone should stick to their own race!" She was right about not understanding racism.

Racists come in all shapes and sizes. And I will never be able to understand them. Partly because racists themselves don't understand racism.
As in this sad example:
This sad story reminds me of a a Dutch zionist (simply a - former Catholic - racist who went to a Shul one day and decided to call himself Jewish so he could call people antisemetic if they called him out on his anti-muslim BS) who said he knew a lady in Israel who sometimes couldn't sleep at night because of warning sirens in the distance.
Why are dumb right people of any kind such cry babies?
Here's one crying that bars and clubs in an apartheid state deny him access because of his dark skin colour.
What did he expect? I know for a fact that Israel - in general - is racist because the Israeli government itself hasted itself to state that they are not.
"All the few dozen establishments this gentlemen tried to get into were actually full that particular evening. That you see that 80% of all seats are empty means that they were all reserved." Mein jee! I've heard better excuses from kids caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
If a fascist says that he is not, would you believe him?
