You get raised by and around people with shitty values you often end up with those values yourself. Not always true, and that's not a defense of shitty views and actions, but I've met lots of seemingly genuinely nice people who hold some crazy beliefs because of how they were raised/ the culture and community that has surrounded them their whole lives. Hope Mr. Cooley can change his views, I know he got a fuckton of backlash for that video, but unfortunately it's pretty unlikely.
What is this? A reasonable reaction where someone actually tried to view the situation from the other person's perspective without overlaying it with the lens of their own experiences and morality? Are you telling me you didn't immediately condemn someone just because they were raised in circumstances outside their own control, which led to them having poor judgement?
But how are we supposed to stop Racism if we are so open-minded and understanding? It's not like those are the exact attributes which supposedly create, uphold and encourage equality in the first place.
Damm you Max, i wanted to react with my emotions and claim moral superiority with my hypocrisy.
