What do you think goes through the mind of a racist when they come across someone who doesn't fit the mold?

Question

Meaning, if they had to deal with someone who didn't fit the negative stereotypes that supports their racism, would they be able to have respect for that person or would they still not care solely because of the color of their skin?

BrendaWise-I am a black woman about to be married to a white may on June 21st. We have a beautiful one year-old daughter. Please don't assume anything about me. I don't think we've met or talked at all.

Answer 1

I myself have had various racist (more accurately prejudiced) feelings toward certain individuals. I think that everyone, to a certain extent, has their prejudices. In fact, it was my exposure to people that "did not fit the mold" that changed some of my opinions. Specifically, I now believe that there is a negative and counterproductive African American subculture, but I don't automatically associate all blacks with that culture. What made me change was a black roommate I had in college. Ironically, his high school friends ostracized him for the very reasons why I accepted him. They saw him as a "sell out" to "the man" because he made an effort to educate himself. I'm afraid that as long as certain influential con artists in the black community are respected as leaders, there will continue to be a negative and counterproductive subculture.

Answer 2

Well, racist always find something to justify their racist ideals. When they see someone of a particular race , etc.. they don't "like" doing something positive, they justify this by stating that person isn't your typical.... No matter what, they find a way. For example, the Cosby Show. I've attended three universities in the south, and we have at one time or another discussed this show. Many people, including some blacks, would say this is definitely television. This could never really happen. However, I know several people in my small group of friends who are doctors, owners of financial firms, and professors. Some are married to individuals in similar fields and some or not. And you hear or read similar "non-sense" about other minority groups all the time. In the mind of a "racist", there is never going to be a level playing ground. They have been brain washed for so long that no one will be able to get through. It would take the work of God to open their eyes to reality.

Answer 3

They would see their stereotypes in that person nonetheless.

Once people decide they don't like something, then they can find a million "rational" excuses to hate it.

Between races, between sexes, religions, political factions, or even just individuals. Cognitive dissonance is rampant in the human mind.
