economic crisis leads to racism.

[Sage of the Cheese Snacks]

Why do u thing this is happening?

History has shown that in cases of economic crisis, many people are pinning their hopes on far-right extremist parties, even neo-nazi groups. The most glaring example being Germany in 30's with the rise of Hitler's political "party" which costed million lives to the european population. But, it is happening in many other countries even right now.

My guess for this phenomenon is that people feel betrayed by their goverments and hold great anger against them, even if they are not racists they tend to vote for these parties because these parties promote strong feelings of nationalism and coiling. On the other hand, history has shown that these parties restrain certain freedoms and promote violence and hatred.

Finally, a conspirasy theory, that propably is bull**** but you never know, are these groups maybe led by the "system" in order to bring chaos and even create wars? maybe they feel that the economy might improve if a large part of the populations cease to exist.

Your opinions?

Did the Great Depression lead to further racism? I don't think so...

people simply need an enemy, someone to hate and fight against and blame for all their problems. and those parties use that to gain political power. We can see it happening now with the arab spring, political powers like the muslim brothers use the bad economical situation to get support against the current govermant and take control after they overthrow them.

it's something with our human nature that we need someone to blame, public executions were very popular in old times. some kids got sick and died? burn some old women and say she is a witch and the masses relax. your crops died or you can't catch fish? someone in town isn't praying hard enough.

about the conspiracy, i personally don't believe in those. but i guess anything is possible.

Racism does not exist apart from the fact we are all part of the same race (it should be called humanism) it is merely a biproduct of social conditioning let me explain:

When you were child before you realised what racism was did you have a hatred or preconceived view of another ethnic group ? Probably not you might have hated some kid because he was idiot and associated that with him being a different colour , if that was the only person of that colour you knew but racism not really .Racism is a social construct put into society to distract people from the real big issues ,you have been conditioned from birth to be a racist by the media people should not feel guilty or ashamed to be a racist its impossible not to be unless you are conditioned in the opposite way for more years,

Social conditioning is the most easiest cheapest way to control if everyone is portrayed to think a certain way in all the mediums we 'learn' from you will want to think that way to all humans want to be accepted by others. I went to private school for the majority of my life i never understood racism till i was forced to go to state school for a year then i understood all to well.My advice to those who are concerned about racism or are racists to think why the feel that way besides the media and others affected by the media ( aka parents, ahole friends etc)

You should not feel guilty because from birth you were told to think that way it is not a sin the only way to end humanism is if everyone starts thinking for themselves rather then what your told.

I see, that's pretty natural considering how violent the world is these days.
