Ichiro Kishimi, The Courage to Be Disliked

I have written many articles of late delving into social issues, specifically, race issues.

Don’t worry…

This article will NOT be diving deep into that, as you can read my thoughts on this issue in the links below; if you feel so inclined to.

But it is salient to the topic as the idea for this article came from a response from someone commenting on one of my articles.

I write that I personally don't think racism (As I just think it is collectivism coupled with a lot of primitive behaviors, sprinkled with a dash of other personality disorders on top of it)is NOT a thing — and if it is, it is not something I care about as it does not affect my life.

If anything, I get a hell of a lot more hatred from older black men than I do from older white men.

Go figure that! 🙄

Conversely, I seem to get more love from older black women and A LOT OF HATE from older white women (not really a bummer for me)!

I mean, damn.

If looks could kill, I‘d be dead a million times over.
