They're normally developed with experience, family and / or good education. Or not that leads to a lot of blaming - microagression - punishing, and then turning a blindeye to the unprecedented level of incarceration and killings.
Reminds me of a section of the documentary Color of Fear, posted below - not the whole thing. So I understand how the unforgiving society perpetuates. At about 16:57 to 19:48, one of the white male participants - who finally understood - explained how through his family, he became so desensitized. And I can imagine that if this is the way many, many families operate then it's not a surprise that PoC can never fully get around that kind of conditioning. And that batshit crazy, even among liberals, starts at home.
Thanks for your insights, LMD!
The full 23 minutes, especially the development of the participant above, is very emotionally.
