Default Re: Why is misanthropy not considered bigotry?

"I hate blacks. Black people are bad and they deserve to die an agonizing death. I think so because I was wronged by this black person that one time."

Let's imagine that this little "fantasy" spreads. The original person who had the fantasy didn't really act on it. He was completely innocent, but he managed to cause others to share similar feelings. The number of people that share the feeling only grows, and many merely follow on the footsteps of others without really thinking for themselves and questioning whether the idea has a rational justification behind it.

There's nothing that could possibly go wrong, there. Right? It's just a fantasy. Why question the person that holds the belief?
