I can agree with what Peele said. Humans tend to be scared and selfish. Psychologically, people are just rooted in selfishness, which in my opinion leads to fear and close mindedness. People have the natural desire to be a part of something, especially when that something puts them on the safe side. As history shows, humans tend to retaliate and harm other races/religions/countries when they feel in danger themselves (war) but as some of us know, war will never result in peace. To people, myself included, mobs are terrifying because they posses some of humanity's greatest barbarities. People can be weak and cowardly, and the worst of us deal with this fear by wreaking havoc on others, bringing them down past the level we are on, in order to feel better. People are absolutely terrifying. Humans are completely infatuated and driven crazy by power. People will commit the worst monstrosities in order to feel a sense of power and security. I will never, ever in my life be able to understand racism. To me, I believe it stems back to fear and close mindedness. People tend to be afraid and detest things different from themselves. It is completely tragic to think about black people and the injustices they have endured. People need to practice peace, acceptance, and tolerance. Most importantly though, people need to practice teaching love.
