Bigoted
Demonstrators

"Bigotry" is an excellent word
to use in the demonstration statement,
having a strong pejorative
connotation. The word has a denotation
as well, "the state of mind of
a bigot" that is "one intolerantly
devoted to his own...belief or
opinion. My leaders suggest that I
"cannot afford to tolerate bigotry"
which I understand to be represented
by the opinions of Mr. C.
Stuart Wheatley. I would suggest in
turn that becoming a bigot in order
to abolish bigotry might be a futile
project indeed.
