That's a good essay. Where did you find it? Yet if the perceived majority were to organize they would immediately be attacked as racist and prejudice and branded NAZI or KKK. I can't take exception to groups of minorities and other outsiders organizing to get their POV across. That seems both natural to me and important to the democratic process. The problem comes when they get so caught up in it that they lose their perspectives--their common sense--and push it too far or too hard. It makes no sense at all that a majority would want to so organize except in defense against minority groups who have lost their bearings. Whenever a majority wants to so organize absent a loss of common sense on the other side, then it would likely be fair to call them bigots. When those majority issue groups spring up, it seems to me that the answer is not to let them do their thing just like the minority groups but to evaluate if they're bigots or if they're trying to counter an excess. If it's the latter, then the we should try to restore the common sense of their opposition, not support them pursuing the same tack. No common sense in that, at all.
