not a moral pr(ul)ecept
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
sorry i got my rhetoric ™️ wrong last time i am just attempting to illustrate the thesis of Tolerance is not a moral precept by Yonatan Zunger so check that out if ur curious thanks babes <3
[Tolerance] is an agreement to live in peace, not an agreement to be peaceful no matter the conduct of others. A peace treaty is not a suicide pact.
Someone hasn't been paying attention to all the laws deliberately victimising and discriminating against racial minorities, LGBTQ+ people, poor people, unemployed people and all immigrants (not just the undocumented ones) coming out of Congress, the white house and the states for the last 250 or so years 🙄
'For the last 250 years" means continuously, not that it stopped 250 years ago.
As for current laws which support racial discrimination? gestures towards the entirety of the "justice" and voting systems
Here's an overview article
Tbf, anyone claiming that every sector of state and federal level American governance isn't dripping with systemic racism and other discrimination is either arguing in bad faith, wilfully ignorant or an idiot. I have a feeling you might be the trifecta.
