As a certain character from _Zootopia_ would put it: ## "Fear always works." I soon explain it, but first, as per the universal guideline we found [here](https://writing.stackexchange.com/q/34150/25507): > Because, unlike, Hitler, **we can understand why he does what he is doing**. If we were put into his shoes, we might be doing the same. Thanks, FFN To fine-tune this to racism: 1. In racism, everyone is on the receiving end, all those dead black people, killed police officers, brutally lynched teachers were all murdered by racists. **It's a circlejerk of violence that is nigh impossible to break out from.** 2. Racism doesn't always involve cold-blooded murders, shootouts, Charles Manson, etc. It can be as much as **passive fear** , nothing malicious, and generally **we can forgive that more easily.** I know this answer doesn't add too much new, but the important stuff has already been said.
