What Are These People Thinking !!! ??? !!!

2. one of the frustrating things about bigotry is that it's often invisible to those it has infected

i'd say the vast majority of bigots think they're not bigots.

they just don't experience it as "hate", and there's always someone they can point to who's more extreme, so they can say, well, i'm not *that*.

mostly they've just been brainwashed to the point where they think their views are just "right" and "normal". so how can it be associated with this negative word "bigotry"?


many slavers in in the south used to think they were properly respectful of black people, feeding them, housing them, and treating them with "dignity", because they all knew someone else who treated their slaves even worth. moreover, the slavers felt that slavery was a black person's proper station in life, so the idea that enslavement itself was an insult to a black person's dignity simply didn't compute for them.


it's astounding the depths of depravity people can sink if sufficiently brainwashed.
