Lets lay it right on the line. Bigotry and racism are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today. But, unlike a team of costumed super-villains, they cant be halted with a punch in the snoot, or the zap of a ray gun. They only way to destroy them is to expose them - to reveal them for the insidious evils they really are. The bigot is an unreasoning hater - one who hates blindly, fanatically, indiscriminately. If his hang up is black men, he hates ALL black men. If a redhead once offended him, he hates ALL redheads. If some foreigner beat him at a job, hes down on all foreigners. he hates people hes never seen - people hes never known- with equal intensity - with equal venom. Now, were not saying its unreasonable for one human being to bug another. But, although one individual has the right to dislike another individual, its totally irrational, patently insane to condemn and entire race - to despise and entire nation - to vilify and entire religion. Sooner or later, we must learn to judge each other on our own merits. Sooner or later, if man is ever to be worth of his destiny, we must fill our hearts with tolerance. For then, and only then, will we be worthy of the concept that man was created in the image of God - a God who calls is ALL - His children. Pax et Justitia Stan Stan Lee November 1968
