Dehumanization and Demonization excuses for abuse
Unlike animals who rely on instinct, and who do not need to meticulously reason out their decisions, humans must provide themselves with morally justifiable reasons in order to feel OK with themselves or even feel proud of themselves when they proceed to physically attack or verbally humiliate others.
Now, two very popular ways of doing this are via dehumanization, demonization, or both.
Now, two very popular ways of doing this are via dehumanization, demonization, or both.
Dehumanization
Demonization
Examples of their Usage
Dehumanization is to classify human being as either non-human, sub- human or both. This tendency to dehumanize certain races, became popular with the advent of the Darwinian Theory of human Evolution, a theory which rejected the Christian religious belief that all humans are related from one man and are therefore basically family. Instead, evolution proposed that certain races had distance themselves farther from some non-human primate ancestors than others, and that any technological backwardness was due to being less physically evolved.
Demonization
Demonization, is the attribution of demon-like characteristics to groups of people, such as ethic groups, nationalities, and races. Its purpose? Well, this is the same as the purpose of dehumanization, to foment a fanatical hatred against the demonized group so that members of such a group become targets of violence. It also serves to make the perpetrators feel as if they are rendering God a sacred service when they discriminate or otherwise persecute such supposedly demonized persons.
Examples of their Usage
For example during the days of NAZI Germany both prior and during WWII the German Jews were blamed for all the social maladies that were inflicting German society. The loss of WWI, the resultant humiliation at the hands of the victors. Based n this demonization, their persecution could be morally justified. But of course they were still human, so that also had to be removed as a psychological obstacle and when it was, even their extermination was being systematically carried out without the slightest twinge of conscience.
Isolated and Demonized
Another example were the black African slaves as they were considered mere property under the Anglo and Anglo American system of slavery. Why? Because of being classified as sub human. Once that category was cunningly imputed, of course, those considered that way lost all human rights and those treating them as mere property could do so with a clear conscience in the same manner that the NAZIS did with the Jews years later.
Another example of demonization and dehumanization tactics is their usage during war in order to strengthen civilian and military determination. For example, during WWII, the Japanese systematically demonized and dehumanized the Americans to the point, that members of the Okinawan Island population preferred to commit suicide by jumping off cliffs rather than to become their prisoners, after the Americans had finally wrested control of the island from Japanese occupation.
Simultaneously, the American propaganda machine was demonizing the Japanese to the point that American soldiers calmly incinerated them with flamethrowers as if they had been vermin as the Japanese soldiers desperately attempted to hide themselves in caves. Others persecuted them in the United states even though they were citizens.
Last, but certainly not the least, today we have the dehumanization and demonization of the white race, who are referred to as white devils, by a significant percentage of African Americans.
They accomplish this by constantly focusing on how devilishly Anglo American slave masters behaved, and then arbitrarily attributing those same cruel characteristics to their descendants, or any other white person regardless of any connection with what happened in the USA back at that time.
White people are also referred as sub human Cave Beast. The result? Yep! The same shit! Whites are attacked out of the clear blue, beaten at schools, and killed or maimed for simply being white and members of a subhuman demonized race.
Obviously, if it totally depends on mankind, it seems as if the answer is no, and that the only way to remove this detrimental human bad habit is for God to take full control of Earth's affairs so that socialization of people does not include brainwashing them into believing such tripe.
Evolution the Fuel Behind Racism?

Conclusion
On and on it this garbage goes and one wonders whether indeed there can ever be a time when mankind will finally stop doing this to one another and simply get along in peace as God intended them to. Obviously, if it totally depends on mankind, it seems as if the answer is no, and that the only way to remove this detrimental human bad habit is for God to take full control of Earth's affairs so that socialization of people does not include brainwashing them into believing such tripe.
