That doesn't make much sense. Give an example of someone?[/quote:b066a]

I dunno, Bull Connor....

Racism is bad. Blindly following a leader is bad. After learning that over and over again you generally become a bit of a cynic towards people that might pose a threat similar to threats posed by people like Hitler, or those that preach hatred.

You should know all about how the germans were led on by charisma, etc, and how it's easy to become a part of something dangerous. So you should be a bit of a cynic now when it comes to any type of political leadership.

Racism works in a similar way. It spreads and generally who you surround yourself with will influence your ideals and morals....Learning this over and over teaches you to have an individual voice and not to just go with the flow and fall into what should be a cliche trap after learning about how bad it is year after year.

I dunno, I assume that's why we get taught this over and over again. Maybe someone else has a different view.....
