you even asking the question shows exactly what kind of person you really are..
if you can not perceive the concept that all bigotry is bad.. you need help..
You like definitions...
Bigotry:
noun
- intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.
———
Now I specified one or two specific subjects in which my I am confident enough in my opinion that I feel it’s valid to be intolerant of the opposing idea.
I never once stated I was bigoted in every subject, but only in a specific list. The main idea where I stated I was Proud to be Bigoted about racism.
Wherein I said I was proud to be bigoted towards racists / racism.
So... here is a specific example where being bigoted is good. We shouldn’t tolerate racists or racism.
Yet you just said “all bigotry is bad”. So based on that logic, you feel we should be tolerant of people who hold racist views.
THOSE ARE HOW YOUR WORDS AND YOUR CRITIQUES OF ME PLAY OUT LOGICALLY.
You have just stated you feel it’s good to be tolerant of racists.
So either you should acknowledge you were wrong... or confirm this.
... and if you confirm this, well I say the only people who are tolerant of racists are racists.
It’s an idea we should kill... and if you think we should tolerate the idea then you’re essentially supporting it.
So which is it Nomad, are you wrong or are you Racist.
One or the other please... those are your only choices.
yes I love definitions. let's use yours.
Bigotry:
noun
- intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.
of course I am tolerant of people who want to be racist.
that is their choice. that doesn't mean I am a racist.
I am againist Racism as a ideal. but if people want to be racist. that is their choice. being Republican allows me to be tolerant towards all people regardless of their view points. even if I disagree with that viewpoint.
a point of view is not an action.
I am also tolerant of bigots.. like yourself. but i am againist Bigotry.. you are free to be as big a bigot as you choose to be.. that doesn't make me a bigot because I am tolerant of you having that point of view.
I tolerate Religious people but I do not agree with religious points of view. tolerating those religious people does not make me religious.
Bigotry is intolerance towards a person.. not an ideal.. just like the definition you posted describes. " intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself."
you hate the ideal & are bigoted towards the people who identify with it..
I only hate the ideal...
big difference.
I believe in Freedom of Thought...
"Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom & no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech", - Benjamin Franklin, 1722.
( very sad attempt to box me in there Jimmy the bigot. ... I bet you finally thought you had me.. .. sorry try again.. )
