Why are some people so xenophobic?


A lot of people don't know about this case. A lot of people don't know about "sundown towns" also. Why were (are) SOME (PLEASE I SAID SOME)White (YES,I SPECIFICALLY I SAID WHITE PEOPLE)so xenophobic? Let's be real and use common sense for a minute. From even a 5th grade history book,we know that this country was not "discovered", but there were people already here for THOUSANDS of years. So that theory goes out the window. Even during slavery from the Revolutionary War until World War Two, Black soldiers have always thought society would treat them different if they fought. How odd it must've been ESPECIALLY in World War II (Facism,Imperialism,Nazism,etc)for Black vets in Europe fighting for "democracy" when at home they weren't even considered "second" class citizens. But they did anyway!! Strong Black Folks,always was and always will be!!!!!!!!!
