Prejudice

[MargueriteBee]

I just had a conversation with an African American neighbor. I was astounded when she was saying that she didn't like someone because they were black. I couldn't believe my ears later when I heard myself telling her about my sister who turned out to be a bigot who didn't like black people and how stunned I was by that.

Anyway by the end of the conversation she is telling me that she could learn a lot from me.

But, but this THING about prejudice I wonder when it began.....

Divide and conquer by the 1%, elitists. Keep the masses (99%) infighting and suspicious of each other so they are not looking at the real culprits, the 1%, who have engineered society to be exactly that way.

People are kept ignorant of who we really are. Focus is kept on the body, genetic lines and DNA rather than the soul. All souls come from the same Source, so all are equal. They just need to remember.

Post edit***

The reptilians come from a caste system, with the albinos reportedly being the ruling class. So it is not surprising that their human hybrids/offspring/minions, the 1% mentioned above, have been brainwashed into accepting a caste system as being the truth. They of course see themselves at the top of the human caste/pyramid social system.

I wonder if it isn't something deeper. Something genetic, it seems so deeply ingrained in us.

You're very close. ;)

The thing I find aggravating about it is most people just deny it exists when that's lying to one's self. Accept it exists. Live with it. It doesn't mean you have to act on it. Why do people so often feel the need to act on what ever it is they feel/think?

Must disagree there in regards to it being genetic/natural.Off course we see difference but not all of us are fearful or have preconceived baggage.Yes there is obviously a large proportion of the human race that have these thoughts,but thankfully we are slowly getting over it.My gen are less racist/homophobic than our parents and our kids are the same.A well known deflection/defence mechanism is to attack the difference so quite base and irrational if this is your default.
Imo people who get these emotions should learn to investigate the route and source of them.What they should come to realise is, it is just energy,learn to breathe through it attach no thought to the energies rising and you're on the road to enlightenment/liberation.Imo the notion that it is natural to feel disgust at difference needs to be stood on and ground away.ymmv
- ps.also enough reputable studies to show, distrust and hate of difference is learned behaviour. peace

This video by red ice radio talks about neanderthals hunting humans. It may be a clue.

Racism is not the only form of prejudice.
Just seeing patterns in the behavior of others and anticipating repeat behaviors can cause one to have a bad attitude.
When one is observing one's own patterns and automatic behavior traits one can then start getting to work on abolishing prejudice.
The thing is, all predictable behavior after a while grinds on one's nerves
and others have to live with ours as we have to live with theirs.

We would all much rather be surprised and see the originality expressed which is latent inside us all.

That is a fascinating interview and he makes some great observations that deserve being explored.That said he makes a few leaps that are too far for me.Not all of us are wired to view difference as a threat some of the human race are curious and open to others by nature.
My demons and nightmares were not bogey men but body things.For example i had waking nightmares of my hands growing to a huge size also my feet (was it my subconscious fear of being outed as a neandermute 8) Oh and muck being shoved under the covers on my feet was another recurring one.
Another thing i thought when listening was, we don't need the neanderthal to blame if he was right, everything he accuses them of we have done to ourselves.Cannibalism was quite widespread as was tribes taking the women from other tribes,killing children etc.
I think Ulli makes a good point but mild annoyance at personality traits/patterns and behaviour is a different animal to racial prejudice.
Not letting children ask about difference can be detrimental too,as denying it can cause twisted views so a minefield if the right balance isn't found.For me the brain studies of children and observational studies that show that racism is acquired/picked up, is hard to argue against.

... well, what else would one expect from that ugly swan... :)

... try something deeper than genetics... try that thing which genetics takes its directions/blueprint from...try "dramatization" of a hypnotically -- wholesale -- implanted humanity's reaction to a tugged collar (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?71935-Well-I-Too-Am-Tired-Of-This-F-cking-Sh-t-&p=840528&viewfull=1#post840528) (<---)... then, check this post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?52786-MATRIX-REVEALED-Analysis-Solutions&p=839731&viewfull=1#post839731) (<---).
