About This Quote

The idea that many people often seem to associate with bigotry is that it's an irrational, socially unacceptable fear or hatred of different groups of people. It's also socially unacceptable to express such a hatred openly, and so we usually hide it and try to explain it away by saying it's not really our true feelings. But what if we didn't have to hide our feelings at all? What if we could just say exactly how we feel, and not feel ashamed?
