i just don't understand how anyone can not be racist. how can people simply not notice the fact that outcomes between races are so different, and that this difference is likely biological? i have never seen this refuted. i have never even seen an attempt at refuting this, outside of some vague copes about muh oppression. i can imagine why, it's like trying to refute someone saying the sky is blue, but it just boggles my mind that nobody else seems to notice this massive fucking rampaging 400lb phenomenological gorilla in the room. every single other person just walks along, pretending they don't notice it, even while they remark on the mess it's been making like it just appeared out of nothing. it leers at us and stuffs grass in its face while everyone nervously tries not to look at it, and they wince when they can feel its primal gaze on them, but if you asked them like "dude, what's with that giant fucking gorilla in the corner? aren't you, like, worried about that?" they'll hurriedly tell you to shut up and to stop noticing things
i guess i know why - people are fed industrial-strength state-sponsored lies and copes about it from the earliest ages in the public school system. they outline the gorilla, they tell everyone what the gorilla looks like, they show everyone pictures of the gorilla, except they'll say it's actually called "institutional racism" and it's not a gorilla at all, and any similarities to a gorilla are simply the result of a bigoted and mentally ill mind. and then they tell you the only way to get rid of the gorilla (which isn't really a gorilla at all) is to let trained zoologists sit on board meetings and rule over your HR department, and so forth and so on
it boggles my mind that nobody notices the gorilla, but what really puzzles me is that i know, logically, there must be people out there who do, and have real power (since you can't be powerful if you're truly stupid), and they don't seem concerned about the gorilla in the slightest. in fact, those people are often the first to deny ever seeing a gorilla, or even knowing what a gorilla looks like. do they know, but never talk about it? do they talk about it among themselves? are they scared of the gorilla-denialists?
i just don't get it, the last time i tried to talk about this someone said "well what makes YOU so accomplished, that you dare to notice these things?" and that's basically the kind of conversation you get when you point out the MASSIVE FUCKING GORILLA WHAT THE FUCK HOW CAN NOBODY SEE THAT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
