A racist replaces his sensory impression of a person, the person he hears, sees, etc., with his idea about the person. He reduces the person to an abstraction. It's easy to bomb an idea, and to preserve his innocence, he calls it a strike. How do you deal--make deals--with such a person? First you must convince him that you actually exist, that he lives in a dream world and you are ending his dream. Time will tell if his residence there is a prelude to his departure from this world altogether. Didn't most Germans after WWII, don't most Germans now, blame Hitler and a few others for deceiving them? Only you can willfully ignore the evidence of your senses. So how do you deal with a suicidal person? You encourage them to get it over with: make a decision.
