Bigotry

Nobody is arguing that Art had a jerk on his hands at the YMCA.

But the extrapolations he made from that one experience were no more justified than if I assumed all blacks were crooks because one mugged me.

You might want to check out your premise that prejudice is okay if the group you're leaning on has enough political power. If a black person becomes president, will it be okay for the looneys to start wearing sheets again?

Or is my attempt to hammer an abstraction into someone's head going to be called "redirection" again?

It's interesting that I get a lot of crap for "inventing" the classification of the radical leftist, but everybody seems to know and accept the broad and cartoonish definition of the term "fundamentalist."
