Always amazes me how clueless Americans tend to be about what they think are their rights. It always amazes me how so many Americans believe they are the free-est folks on Earth because they have the Bill of Rights, which doesn't even accord a right to privacy according to Alito et al. Maybe they should look at the rights possessed by citizens of most European countries. About the only outlier here is the 2nd Amendment, something that results in the early deaths of tens of thousands of Americans annually. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You seem very not smart for someone casting aspersions about intelligence. > Society can and does execute its own mandates: and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practises a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself. Protection, therefore, against the tyranny of the magistrate is not enough: there needs protection also against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling; against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, its own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them; to fetter the development, and, if possible, prevent the formation, of any individuality not in harmony with its ways, and compel all characters to fashion themselves upon the model of its own. There is a limit to the legitimate interference of collective opinion with individual independence: and to find that limit, and maintain it against encroachment, is as indispensable to a good condition of human affairs, as protection against political despotism.

The question is not how did we learn to get over that prejudice, but rather what purpose did it serve in the first place, why was it the preferred expression of hate of that time? 50 years ago you didn't have to respect women (other than in the “sacred womanhood to be protected and shielded like a child” way), or blacks, or Hispanics, or, yes, polacks. Awareness helps — they didn’t get smarter, neither did women or anyone else. Just recognized as actually equal (at least where you can be shamed for that kind of prejudice), rather than ignored as irrelevant to the power structure. Maybe even considered as individuals, rather than as placeholders for “everyone else like that.” Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
