You continue to operate in that cycle if you want. It needs to be broken somewhere. And it's not going to broken "with a big ol' crackdown" that feeds directly into the same cycle.

..no, attacks increase fears and fears can bring racism to the surface (if it was present already..)...in some cases...just dismissively calling something bull**** pointlessly adds frustrations and defensiveness also which only contributes to any negativity being felt through fears....I think it's wrong to look at what we feel are the contributions of other to negativity without looking closely at our own contribution...
