Often referred to as 'Triple R', this is a feedback loop where people — intentionally or not — repeat and strengthen racist or stereotypical behavior and beliefs. Think of it like racism on autopilot: it keeps recycling through media, culture, schools, and families, getting stronger each time it's unchecked.
It shows up a lot in younger generations (thanks, internet), but older folks aren’t off the hook — especially those who grew up recursively reinforced racism or contributed to it. Either way, it’s a negative loop that feeds itself like a bad algorithm trained on garbage data

Being Black in an all-white high school, I dealt with my fair share of racism. Looking back, I realize a lot of those kids were surrounded by recursively reinforced racism — mostly passed down from their parents.

Get the how about no you freaking raisen mug.A more humorous butchering of the common cliche, “It takes a village to raise a baby”. You can use it to playfully make fun of your friends when they mix metaphors or butcher common idioms (see example below) and chances are they won’t notice it.

Derrick: For all intensive purposes, you should probably nip that behavior in the butt before he does it again
Me: Well you know what they say, Derrick: it takes a baby to raise a village, after all
