Hateful people say, “So you all are just these magical people walking around knowing everything hunh.”

 

Sometimes…… we do not have the words for what we see but we know that something looks strange. Less hate in the heart, more room for insight to come to the mind. 

 

Racism and hate don’t just harm the people they target—they trap the mind of the person holding them. Hatred narrows vision. It makes people rigid, unable to see nuance, beauty, or the full humanity of others.

  • Rigid thinking: Hate builds walls in the mind. Everything becomes “us vs. them,” leaving little room for curiosity, growth, or learning.

  • Repetitive cycles: Racism convinces people to recycle old lies instead of imagining new truths. It stunts creativity, empathy, and the ability to adapt.

  • Loss of freedom: A rigid mind can’t expand. It can’t dance with complexity. It’s locked into defending false beliefs, even when evidence and reality say otherwise.

A free mind is flexible, open, and able to embrace change. Racism and hate make the mind brittle. They don’t just dehumanize others—they dehumanize the person clinging to them, shrinking their ability to live fully.
