32. The idiocity of that "Great Truth" is

that it is irrational and, as well, horribly injust. It stems from the failure to realize that people are first and foremost individuals, no matter what their skin colour, ethnicity, religious beliefs etc. and, if they are to be judged, should be judged as such. The associated belief that the "best" black is inferior to the "worst" white is equally nonsensical.

Simple logic such as that for some reason does not prevail in the thinking of bigots - it seems that part of their psyche is missing.
