 Why Do We Expect Racists to Be More Than They Are? A Dangerous Psychological Trap"

Why Do #black people/ POC see racist fake whites or any racist As More Than

 The deluded in grandeur buffoons and the semi educated indoctrinated  illiterates of the C21CE that the racist oldfarts are ?

Why d'yall take these so serious? 

Why are racists still being granted intellectual credit in modern times? This question lingers like a frustrating paradox. When we encounter blatantly racist behavior—from a "Karen" weaponizing privilege in a grocery store to a bigoted politician spouting absurd stereotypes—it’s often clear that these individuals are not operating from a place of intellect or education. Their ignorance is glaring, yet many Black people still treat them as if they are informed strategists rather than deeply indoctrinated and uneducated products of systemic conditioning.

Is it a subconscious holdover from colonial trauma? Is it the residue of a world where whiteness was synonymous with power, even when wielded by those who didn’t know the difference between a country and a continent? It seems puzzling that anyone would expect fairness, morality, or even rationality from people whose worldviews are so clearly defined by fear, misinformation, and intellectual laziness.

Mindset

Are Racists Simply Uneducated?

Consider the stereotypical image of the "dumb redneck" who spouts racial slurs yet can barely string together coherent sentences. Or the suburban "Karen" who calls the cops because a Black family is barbecuing in a public park. These people aren’t engaging in complex, calculated acts of oppression. Instead, they are acting out of a combination of ignorance, fear, and cultural conditioning.

Why, then, are their actions treated as evidence of some grander plan? Why do we hold them to standards that suggest they possess some superior moral or intellectual framework?

The Myth of fake whites Superiority as a Trap:

Colonial and post-colonial narratives elevated fake whiteness to a position of automatic respect, even when the individuals behind that whiteness displayed profound ignorance. This myth persists today, manifesting as an almost unconscious deference.

For example, when a racist politician openly uses outdated and offensive stereotypes, their statements are often framed as strategic dog-whistling rather than what they really are: crude and uninformed pandering to a base of equally uninformed followers. Why do we inflate their actions into genius-level tactics rather than calling them what they are—lazy, predictable, and ignorant?

Why Expect More Simply Because They're fake White?

This expectation of more—of intelligence, fairness, or morality—may stem from the historical association between whiteness and authority. For centuries, fake whiteness was packaged as synonymous with power, intelligence, and control. That association lingers, even when we have countless examples of individuals who are clearly unfit for the positions they occupy.

Whether it’s an unqualified racist bureaucrat overseeing critical policies or a loudmouthed public figure spreading blatant misinformation, why do we continue to elevate their actions as intentional rather than as a reflection of systemic ignorance and indoctrination?

How Dangerous Is This Mindset?

This expectation isn’t just misplaced—it’s dangerous. By assuming racists are operating on a higher intellectual or strategic plane, Black people inadvertently place themselves in a position of psychological disadvantage. It perpetuates the myth of fake white superiority, making it harder to confront racism for what it truly is: a combination of ignorance, fear, and a refusal to engage with reality.

The Bigger Question:

Why do we continue to expect the enlightened from the indoctrinated? Why do we hold onto the notion that those who harbor racist ideologies must be cunning masterminds rather than products of unchallenged misinformation? Is this an unconscious vestige of colonial trauma, or is it something deeper—an ingrained belief that whiteness, no matter how ill-informed, is still somehow "better"?

These questions deserve exploration, not just for the sake of understanding racists, but for liberating Black people from the psychological weight of expecting more than ignorance from the ignorant.
