Do people have a right to be racist? (Page 2)

Question

Some people believe that racism should be addressed in the public education system because racism is an evil that should be eradicated from our society. I am not a racist but I have a strong aversion to any argument that condones the obliteration of certain beliefs based on the content. As soon as that concept becomes acceptable, then we will have the thought police telling us what we should and should not believe, and your beliefs will be safe only as long as you are in the majority. In law school, I was taught that the freedoms of our country are not preserved by defending the popular and righteous, but they are preserved by defending the unpopular and the unrighteous. Please stay ON TOPIC with your responses! The question is NOT whether you agree with racists or racism.

No. . By this logic of it's freedom, nazism should be allowed and the KKK. People who think that are no more better than the nazi's or KKK themselves. The action of not opposing a thing that activtley hurts people is bad.

Some people are racist. So what. Steer clear of those people. There is no way to "eradicate racism" unless all racists are rounded up and put to death. That ain't gonna happen

People have a right to think what they want. Whatever rights they exercise in view of the public... the public will judge.

The difference being, as much as everyone has the right to their beliefs, they DO NOT have the right to force their beliefs on anyone else.

As much as I would like racism to be eradicated it can't be. It's why it was impossible to win Bush's war on terror. You can't defeat terror you can't eradicate racism

No one person is humanly superior to another. Biology tells us that.  Being "racist" is denying science, and claiming you're "exceptional".
