Why They Just Can't Get Over It: A Spiritual And Psychological Approach To Overcoming Racism In America

Nothing can be done until the culture becomes aware of the nature of modern Amrican conservatism. We keep tolerating their ideas on how to fix social problems as though they had put thought into it. They haven't. Ideas of any complexity are adopted wholesale from others, usually people whose intent is to manipulate them for political/financial gain.

Their almost exclusive use of external ideas is largely the result of generations of poorly socialised individuals who go on to revere the beliefs and superstitions their parents passed on to them; beliefs that reveal the under-developed empathic and cognitive skills of their originator. Such skills are essential in forming abstract mental constructions that allow us to think beyond the simplistic, black & white perceptions that our highly authoritarian children used, and who we as adults had to move away. This usually takes place around adolesence, and failure to do so can result in being stuck there all their lives.

They have nothing to offer in the way of progress, only various methods of avoiding the uncertainty that comes with trying something new. Maintaining the status quo or returning to some romantic vision of a past that never existed, and doing so over the trambled bodies of millions they refuse to help is all we can expect from modern conservatism/authoritarianism.
