That is all true, as long as you’re not using it to justify a moral position. Those are all facts. Well… Not the “social contract” phrase. That’s a term of art based on an analogy. But you’re salient point is absolutely a fact, and correct. We do agree on that.
But again, it says nothing against the concept I’m trying to promote and argue here. The most moral way to handle a bigot is with compassion, rather then more hatred.
Not exactly? I don’t think. I think your referring to the belligerence of humanity as a whole. While I’m talking about individual action.
If you personally run across someone bigoted, it would be better for both of you, if you tried to be their friend. It’ll help you both see past your different prejudices.
People can become bigots for a variety of reasons. Many are fully aware of their prejudices, and feel they have justification. Bigots are nearly as diverse as people as the those they dislike.
Who’s worldview is incompatible? Mine or theirs? Or both?
And who’s apologizing? I’m simply point out that they’re a diverse group, with diverse motivations.
