"Without intolerance we have anarchy. I take great pride in my "narrow-minded" nature. There are some truly unacceptable things in this world that should never be tolerated."
I said the above statement after being called "narrow-minded and intolerant" for defriending someone on facebook who supported extremely raciest statements. By extremely racist statements I mean statements like "The browning of America will doom us all." They said all non whites should be kicked out of our country, and I'm the intolerant one for standing up against them.
This all got me to thinking. We can definitely take tolerance too far. I obviously believe in racial and religious tolerance, otherwise I woulda never got into that mess. Tolerating racial and cultural differences is one thing, However, we can't take it so far as to tolerate racism.
