"Let's lay it right on the line. Bigotry and racism are among the deadliest social ills plaguing
the world today.
But, unlike a team of costumed super-villains, they cant be halted with a punch in the snoot, or a zap from a ray gun. The only way to destroy them is to expose themto reveal them for the insidious evils they really are. The bigot is an unreasoning haterone who hates blindly, fanatically, indiscriminately. If his hang-up is black men, he hates ALL black men. If a redhead once offended him, he hates ALL redheads. If some foreigner beat him to a job, hes down on ALL foreigners. He hates people hes never seenpeople hes never knownwith equal intensitywith equal venom.
Now, were not trying to say its unreasonable for one human being to bug another. But, although anyone has the right to dislike another individual, its totally irrational, patently insane to condemn an entire raceto despise an entire nationto vilify an entire religion. Sooner or later, we must learn to judge each other on our own merits. Sooner or later, if man is ever to be worthy of his destiny, we must fill out hearts with tolerance. For then, and only then, will we be truly worthy of the concept that man was created in the image of Goda God who calls us ALLHis children."
