It's usually the case that neither side is correct. One might have the right to do something, anything, but sure enough, that doesn't mean it's right and a benefit to other people.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["beneficial","benefit","bigotry","close-mindedness","contradiction","different","laws","morals","oneness","open-mindedness","rights"],"id":6873,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"People talk about history and things like slavery, genocide, and religious persecution as horrors that happened in the past because we were ignorant.

The Americans who are standing with their loved ones and neighbors are in fact doing exactly what Jesus asked them to do, when he said that we should love each other as we love ourselves. It’s possible, however, that we live in a post-accepting-bigotry-cloaking-itself-in-the-raiments-of-Christ America. And, you know. I can live in that America just fine.","author":"John Scalzi","tags":["america","bigotry","christ","christianity","fellowship","gay-marriage","glbt-rights","jesus","love","love-thy-neighbor","social-justice"],"id":17909,"author_id":"John+Scalzi"},{"text":"Bigotry that is known and visible is bigotry that can be challenged.","author":"DaShanne Stokes","tags":["bigotry","discrimination","discrimination","hate","lgbt","lgbt-rights","racism","racism"],"id":19413,"author_id":"DaShanne+Stokes"},{"text":"Readers will be swept up by the drama and fast pace of this powerful debut novel.","author":"Reading Today Online","tags":["bigotry","civil-war","discrimination","history","middle-grade","slavery","tolerance"],"id":19645,"author_id":"Reading+Today+Online"},{"text":"The same people who wear shirts that read “fuck your feelings” and rail against “political correctness” seem to believe that there should be no social consequences for [voting for Trump]. I keep hearing calls for empathy and healing, civility and polite discourse. As if supporting a man who would fill his administration with white nationalists and misogynists is something to simply agree to disagree on.Absolutely not. You don’t get to vote for a person who brags about sexual assault and expect that the women in your life will just shrug their shoulders. You don’t get to play the victim when people unfriend you on Facebook, as if being disliked for supporting a bigot is somehow worse than the suffering that marginalized people will endure under Trump. And you certainly do not get to enjoy a performance by people of color and those in the LGBT community without remark or protest when you enact policies and stoke hatred that put those very people’s lives in danger.Being socially ostracized for supporting Trump is not an infringement of your rights, it’s a reasonable response by those of us who are disgusted, anxious, and afraid. I was recently accused by a writer of “vote shaming” – but there’s nothing wrong with being made to feel ashamed for doing something shameful.","author":"Jessica Valenti","tags":["bigot","bigotry","conservative","democrat","intolerance","liberal","racism","racist","republican","trump"],"id":22945,"author_id":"Jessica+Valenti"},{"text":"It is not what you can do for your country, but what you can do for all of mankind.","author":"Mike Norton","tags":["bigotry","buddha","buddha-nature","buddhism","capitalism","communism","country","genocide","kennedy","mankind","peace","politics","racism","socialism","violence","war"],"id":28767,"author_id":"Mike+Norton"},{"text":"Men build too many walls and not enough bridges.","author":"Joseph Fort Newton","tags":["bigotry","bridges","compassion","culture","culture-wars","cultures","empathy","hate","hatred","inspirational","intolerance","love","men","misattributed","misattributed-to-isaac-newton","racism","separation","sympathy","tolerance","understanding","walls"],"id":32503,"author_id":"Joseph+Fort+Newton"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":188,"pages":19,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
