What do you think about Nazism, racism, anti-Semitism, white and black separatism?

I put it here:

Leon Trotsky summed up fascism as "the battering ram against the working class".

I agree with his analysis.

Where I live people it is common that people are segregated by color. Black people live in 90+% "black cities" and white people live in 90+%"white cities". I get the impression that this is human nature, as it would seem to be safer / and avoiding racism to be among your own kind.

This behavior is demonstrated by the sociological concepts of "white flight" and "black flight". "White flight" [see source 1] can mean when area becomes "too black", then white people leave (though, not necessarily because of racism), and "Black flight" [see source 2] can mean when an area becomes "too Hispanic", then black people leave (though, not necessarily because of racism).

Racism, Nazism, and Antisemitism (or any hatred of religion) are blights on humanity, and must be resisted at all cost.
And while races separate themselves almost naturally, that still doesn't make it right, as that desire to keep ourselves apart is based on racial fear, mistrust, and misunderstanding.
We all have racial prejudice to one degree or another, but we also all have the capacity to change.

I'm generally against them.

Collectivism: evil in any form.

Nothing good has ever come from it.

Did a big chunk of this conversation suddenly disappear?

Several posts in severe violation of WrongPlanet rules have been removed from this thread.

It was also necessary to remove several replies (as the offensive content was quoted within) to prevent further dissipation of the offensive content.

To prevent further escalation I am also locking this thread. I apologize for any inconvenience.
