The Paradox of Learned Behavior

[Bring Back The Oilers]

From racist behavior to violent behavior, we are told that these things are taught. They are learned behavior. Nobody is born racist. They are taught at a young age and racism or domestic violence or a number of different behaviors are learned behaviors.

Here is the paradox.

Whether you believe in creationism or evolution, we can all agree the human race started somewhere. There was a first human. And if there was a first human, there had to be a first racist. Correct? So, who taught the first racist to be racist? Or the first woman beater to be a woman beater?

Where did they learn their behavior?

Well, it was probably a dark skinned tribe that encountered a tribe of lighter skin. The darker skinned tribe had larger dicks; the lighter skinned tribe got triggered and started making fun of their skin color as a deflection from the fact that they had smaller penis's. The lighter skinned tribes wives then burst out laughing and that's where the first wife beating started. That's how I learned it, at least.

Just to be clear, "creationism" is not what most who believe in a Creator adhere to.

Creationism is the belief that God created everything in six literal days, for which there is no evidence.

Carl Sagan and his wife, Ann Druyan, wrote a book, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, that dives into the prehuman origin of behavior and biology. Good read.

those who say racism is taught are just flat out wrong. Racism is human nature, as humans naturally distrust anything different to them.

the opposite is true, that to be not racist, or not bigoted or not whatever, that is what is taught... and should be taught until world peace(which will never happen)

Even for biracial people?

You watch too much porn.

there will always be people that look different than you... biracial doesn't mean anything...

Babies are racist.

Infants show racial bias toward members of own ethnicity, against those of others: Racial bias begins earlier than previously thought, new insights into cause

Six- to nine-month-old infants demonstrate racial bias in favor of members of their own race and racial bias against those of other races, two new studies conclude.

this is a 'no shit' moment btw.

Nature versus nurture is not mutually exclusive. This paradox signifies the larger influence of nature in the initial formulations of racism (sexism/etc). However, nurture then began to overcome the natural influence, eventually becoming a greater influence on future generations.

A learned behavior doesn't necessarily need to be passed down knowledge from predecessors, but can also be learned behavior from observation of the natural environment.

The two instinctive fears that humans possess from birth are the dark and heights. The dark due to being prey that were hunted at night, and heights from hiding from predators at night in trees, where we'd awaken when we'd begin to fall. Every other fear, and to a larger degree, prejudice, is learned. Whether they are taught by parents/other humans, or are learned from their own experiences.

The first humans to become "racist"/beta, likely were being dominated my another, alpha. The dislike for the alpha and it's offspring, likely lead to an association of physical traits of the alpha and descendents that the beta could recognize and eventually taught to their own offspring as something to look for in those that weren't good to be around. How this eventually turned into the beta believing the alpha was actually inferior to them could be more with over compensating and the creative story telling humans are known to do in order to exaggerate their own qualities, while simultaneously diminishing their rivals.

Of course, this is nothing more than the ramblings of a drunk father after a long Saturday, so I'll likely plead the fifth or ignorance come tomorrow, should this all be a big pile of crap in retrospect. Please disregard any spelling/auto correct that may appear, as I don't care right mow.

Well I must be an alien then.

my first time experience with people of different color was kindergarten. I was jazzed about the black kids in my class and had a horrible crush on the Native American girl.

Watching football with my extended family was the first experience I had with racist views. When the black players messed up, their humanity changed as they were called a litany of dehumanizing names. That didn’t happen when the white players gaffed. I didn’t understand why that was a thing as I didn’t believe my classmates of different color were any less human when they did something I didn’t like.

There is a huge misconception that racism means hatred. Or even the definition of thinking your race is better. It’s just the belief that races are different.

some people look at what’s different and jump head first into it. But generally people are afraid of what’s different. Look at human history, there are millions examples to prove this.

but there are plenty of people that are not afraid of differences. But if you jump for what’s different just because it is different. That is just as wrong. It just has a better outcome so it is seen to be a positive or a strength.

and everyone wants to think of themselves in a positive way. You (General you)have no clue how you come Off

You’re starting off trying to change the actual literal definition of the word.

I’m not sure that is a good tact.

is it?? Isn’t there a difference between having racist thoughts and being a racist??

my definition of racism is to think or act any differently solely because of race.

You see how there is nothing about hatred or specifically believing one race is better.

I have a Boston Terrier that is racist and I didn’t teach her to be one. It’s kinda embarrassing though.
