Ok, call me crazy, but your concept of
right and
acceptable seems to be heavily biased in a certain area.
So...because bigots make other people feel worthless, it's ok to do the same to them. It's not okay to hurt anyone, except for those that intentionally hurt people's feelings....which makes you better than them how? For them, it's never ok to mistreat a "pure white" lady or man, but anyone else is ok, because those people are worthless. In turn, you say never to mistreat any other "rational" or "unbiased" person, but any bigot or racist is ok, because they are without merit or value.
I'm not some hyper-liberal, nazi-loving, 1st amendment brandishing ACLU member. But I
am a person who finds great fallacy in circular logic. Its ok to hurt them because they hurt others. Thats not a legitimate statement of cause, and therefore, it's no less narrowminded than their own. I don't like bigots, and definitely put no stock in their beliefs, as I said in another post in this same thread, but singling them out as "deserving" of ridicule and torment makes you no better than them. They are a very vocal minority that has its place in society--the place that reminds us of how to never treat anyone ever again, including them, too.
