“ #Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their #minds without #prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own #customs, #privileges, or #beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right #thinking.” - #LeoTolstoy

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

Q. What is the best thing to do when people you meet casually — say a taxicab driver or an office receptionist — make violently prejudiced (and untrue) remarks about a minority race? Usually I just keep my mouth shut. But is this really right? It seems to me that perhaps in keeping silent I am actually condoning these vicious remarks.
 
A. I rather think the time has come when keeping silent, if other people say things of which you cannot approve, is an escape from doing something disagreeable. Everyone has a right to his own opinion and to state it, therefore I do not think one should be heated or angry over what other people say; but if silence seems to give approval, then remaining silent is cowardly. I think one should say, “I have evidently had different experiences from what you have had, and I find on the whole that thus and so seems true.” It may lead to an argument and it may require restraint and patience on both sides, but it will often clear up misconceptions and show that there are two points of view, and that it is possible to discuss questions on a reasonable basis even when feelings are involved as well as facts.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1944-09), “If You Ask Me,” Ladies’ Home Journal, Vol. 61

A quotation from Orwell

I think one must engage in politics — using the word in a wide sense — and that one must have preferences: that is, one must recognise that some causes are objectively better than others, even if they are advanced by equally bad means. As for the nationalistic loves and hatreds that I have spoken of, they are part of the make-up of most of us, whether we like it or not. Whether it is possible to get rid of them I do not know, but I do believe that it is possible to struggle against them, and that this is essentially a moral effort. It is a question first of all of discovering what one really is, what one’s own feelings really are, and then of making allowance for the inevitable bias.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

#Proposition6, also known as #TheBriggsInitiative, was introduced in 1978 by #conservative #California #statesenator #JohnBriggs. This #initiative aimed to #ban #gays and #lesbians, and possibly their #supporters, from #working in California's #publicschools.

The measure was rooted in the #fear and #prejudice that #gay #teachers would negatively #influence #children and #promote the "#homosexuallifestyle."

Funny, dark and clever: Last night we saw the film 'Dream Scenario' starring #NicolasCage. My take on the deeper meaning: How a "nice", ordinary man's happy life is destroyed by what other people think of him (#prejudice) and the resulting social #shunning he suffers.

Rebecca Peretz-Lange (and colleagues') shared results and theory about why #essentialism frames can sometimes promote and sometimes mitigate #prejudice.

Dr. Peretz-Lange appeals to studies that included both kids and adults to suggest that "causal discounting" can make the seemingly contradictory results coherent.
