COMBATING BIGOTRY & HATE

COMBATING BIGOTRY & HATE
I propose a word that would serve to make a distinction between common, garden-variety bigots and those who are prejudiced towards spiritual practices. How about “spigot?”
COMBATING BIGOTRY & HATE
You see, I understand I am just another “nigger,” and you know what is best for me. You deem yourself my Master. You are not my friend.
