To answer the OP, it just means that racism is alive and well. I think there will always be racist people in the world, but perhaps better education, discussion, and awareness will help. Simply calling someone a racist and checking out will make it worse I think.
Because it's the whole back drop of "religious freedom" that was the impetus that fueled this. That includes racism.
Religious objections to culture, color, thought, sect, abortion, politics, gender, discrimination, ........... are not included in religious freedom. Much as many would like them to be.
You're welcome to your religion, enjoy it all you want. But your do not have the right to impose it on others. Your religious freedom stops where my noise starts. End of story.
Still don't see how the white supremacists' right to march around with swastikas and spew racist BS has anything to do with religious freedom, but ok.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
