"And please explain why I am a bigot to you." You must not be able to read too well, since I have exposed your bigotry with long and detailed accountings. It would not surprise me to find that you have some mental limitation that keeps you from getting it but frankly it seems intentional on your part. I’m convinced that you think you are cleverly masking your bigotry. When I expose your bigoted conduct, you ignore it and challenge me to tell you how something irrelevant is bigotry. That’s of course because you refuse to have an honest discussion about the topic. The following things are not bigotry (I've said as much many times before but since we both know your response will be to ask why posting articles is bigotry, I don't mind repeat it again for the record): Not bigotry - Posting articles about people committing any kind of cruel or inhuman act is not bigotry. It’s just news. - Posting articles about terrorism is not bigotry. It’s just news. - Commenting on the aspects of another culture, life styles, or other people’s conduct that would not fit the norm in the social circle of the trailer court you were raised in, is not bigotry. Its just exploring your circumstance. The following things are bigotry: Bigotry 1. Using some isolated examples of conduct that are not inherently true for the general population in order to characterize or stereotype the members of the general population is an act of bigotry. 2. Sponsoring a group that commonly and frequently engages in misrepresentations of any person or group of persons in order to persuade others to hate them, while encouraging violence toward the innocents is unjust, a betrayal of humanity, and an act of bigotry. 3. Using double standards to compare cultures is an act of bigotry. 4. Pointing out some bad aspect of a culture while comparing it to sum good aspect of another (rather than the sensible recognition that there is bad and good in all), is an act of bigotry. 5. Finger pointing based on demographics that are different than your own is bigotry. It’s like the morbidly obese person named Brian talking about the illness of Martha who has anorexia and concluding that it is the fault of the food Martha likes to eat, insisting that banning those foods (and anyone who likes them) would solve the problems of the world. 6. Passing judgement on people you don’t know or their culture that you don’t understand while attempting to coerce violence toward those people is an act of bigotry. 7. Attempting to raise the status of the culture you were raised in to one that has the right to annihilate others is an act of bigotry. 8. etc.
