Bigots Quotes - Page 4

• The term ignorant is indeed perhaps an overstatement, implying as it does that something is known somewhere, whereas in reality we are not even sure of this: we in fact cannot aver with any degree of certainty that we are ignorant. Yet this is not so bad; we have at any rate kept our open-mindedness -- that, at least, we may be sure that we have -- and are not in any danger, or so it seems, of freezing into the pious attitudes of those true spiritual bigots whose faces are turned toward eternity and who therefore can see nothing.

  John Ashbery

• La supremacía blanca es la creencia consciente o inconsciente o la inversión en la superioridad inherente de algunos, mientras que se cree que otros son innatamente inferiores. Y no exige la participación individual del intolerante singular. Es una máquina que funciona a perpetuidad, porque no exige que haya alguien conduciendo.

  Michael Eric Dyson

• Great civilizations have annihilated themselveswhen the development of their spiritual wisdom lagged far behind their scientific technology. We need to walk softly, for though we have tread upon the surface of the moon, we have remained bigots and arrogant egotists. Walk softly, for history repeats its self with little provacation.

• Anti-Semitism does not signify opposition to Semitism. There is no such thing. It is an expression we Jews use effectively as a smear word used to brand as a bigot, like you guys, anyone who brings criticism against Jews. We use it against hate-mongers.

• The Gothic idea that we were to look backwards instead of forwards for the improvement of the human mind, and to recur to the annals of our ancestors for what is most perfect in government, in religion and in learning, is worthy of those bigots in religion and government by whom it has been recommended, and whose purposes it would answer. But it is not an idea which this country will endure.

• Cosas como el racismo están institucionalizadas. Puede que no conozcas a ningún intolerante. Te sientes como "bueno, yo no odio a los negros, así que no soy racista", pero te beneficias del racismo. Sólo por el mérito, el color de tu piel. Por las oportunidades que tienes, eres un privilegiado de maneras de las que quizá ni te des cuenta porque no te han privado de ciertas cosas. Tenemos que hablar de estas cosas para que cambien.

• This is how we honor 53 dead, innocent people who had nothing to do with their deaths. They just were in the wrong place at the wrong time, when a bigot decided to take 'em out.
