I Despise Prejudice of Any Kind

A 15 year old boy said to me recently, quite casually, that he hated a particular ethnic group. Not necessary to mention who he hates but no it's not Muslims. When I tried to impart to him how wrong it is to hate people, especially based on what they are rather than the individual that they are, he told me that he just plain hates them and there's no reason for me to get political about it. And that's what really cuts deep. That there is this rising consciousness in society that not being able to express and display hate is the handcuffs of political correctness. It's not being politically correct, it's being [b]civil[/b]! It's existing together with the other people who live on this planet, in this country, in this neighborhood. That's why it's called [b]civilization[/b]. And the biggest irony of all is him and his family are devout Born Again Christians who never miss church on Sunday or fail to say a prayer before a meal. But it's OK to hate an entire race of people. And to deny those people are inferior is political correctness.
