Does RACISM and SEXISM reside completely in the eye of the beholder? If you don't behold it then it simply doesn't exist for you?

If that is true then some people truly believe there is no such thing as racism or sexism. If they can't/don't see it how can it exist for them? Maybe they are NOT liars. Maybe they're simply missing some parts.

    I think most people can recognize it, but for many of us, it just doesn't exist to the extent that some people claim.

    Hello Rosie:

    Some people lack empathy..  Consequently, they have NO idea HOW they are perceived by their peers.  Given the above, they don't think ANY of their ideas are out of the mainstream.

    Whose job is it to disabuse them of such an ignorant stance then excon?  Whose job is it to educate them and bring them out of their cocoony bubble into the real world? Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday! :)

    Look..  I dunno WHY the job of educating people fell to us.  But, it did, so let's go..
