The outward structures and organizations that people create to meet and greet and pursue common goals don't usually just spring up spontaneously as some popular or temporary trend to match the times; naturally, the attitudes behind them take a long, long time to evolve, sometimes a whole lifetime, sometimes centuries.

In the case of racism, it's generational. Children from the age of reason to the end of their schooling are TAUGHT to hate. As adults, those dark feelings and conflicting thoughts fester and seethe just beneath the surface, barely contained if at all.

The solution is maddeningly simple: Hey, all you racist, so-called "grown-ups" -- parents, teachers, cops, politicians, tycoons, generals, every-damn-one -- quit teaching innocent children to hate! But this is planet fckng Earth. And the howling monkey-people evolving down an evolutionary dead-end are running the asylum.

So the chances for peaceful coexistence are nothing if enough individuals in society don't wake up and change their delusional attitudes. Each new generation is the hope of a new world -- but not if the old generation keeps poisoning the minds of their progeny.

For Thom and his argument on the show about the 13 year old shot in Chicago. One question is what is a 13 year old doing out in Chicago at 02:30 with a gun? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCyvrsVchxs
