Ted,
I am simply to trying to reprogram my brain so I don't think that way.
a) You don't have to reprogram anything. Your brain is not an algorithm.

b) Racism is considered to be a sin in this society, an unforgivable one. Why do you think Sterling Don was forced out of the NBA, if his racism wasn't considered to be wrong?

c) You're right, a little girl probably wouldn't know what it meant to say "Why aren't you white" to a black girl. But if racism is learned behavior, then the little girl obviously learned it from somewhere.

d) My opinion is that racism is just as "learned" as hatred. In other words, it isn't learned. It's just another part of the darkness in the human heart. And you can't "unlearn" that darkness. You just have to conquer it.

P.S. - Speaking of "unlearn," that was the final word in the movie "Higher Education." Too bad that after decades of "unlearning," nothing has changed.
