Is xenophobia and hatred of "those other people" ever going to end?

[Binkie The Clown]

9. It's burned into our genes.

In the distant past of man's prehistory, suspicion of, fear of, and hatred toward people "not of our clan" had a positive survival value. It kept the "other" off our hunting grounds, and simplified the job of identifying "stranger danger."

In those days someone from a different clan or tribe was a very real, and very significant danger to the survival of ourselves and our children. (Look at what happened to the tribes that "displeased god" in the Bible. They worshiped the wrong god, had the wrong culture, sang the wrong songs, or worst of all, had different color skin.)

It is human nature to flock together with those who are like us and fear those who are unlike us. (It should be safe for a black man to walk down a street in a white neighborhood. It should also be safe for a white man to walk down the street in a black neighborhood. In truth, neither is safe. Who bears the blame? Whites or blacks? Neither and both. It's just human nature.) It's a fatal flaw in human nature, and just another reason why the human race is a failed species headed for extinction.
