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.....

I see what you mean now.
Maybe racism is a weakness that is in our genes, and maybe the "good" society is doing whatever they can to help humans evolve without that weakness. Does that make any sense? oOo:
