I want to be crystal clear about something: bigotry and racial discrimination are real and they have no place in society. Yes, there is ongoing racism. Yes, there is ongoing homophobia. Yes, there is ongoing hatred of trans people. These are morally abhorrent and we all need to work together to bring about their end.

Bigotry will exist as long as people have free will. Work to minimize it or discourage it or ostracize it, but anyone who proposes the possibility of ending it is dangerous. You will never end domestic violence. You will never end murder or rape. You will never end terrorism or drugs. So long as people possess the freedom to make decisions, people will make mistakes.

You know what does have to end? Taking anyone seriously when they suggest that endemic human issues can be “ended”.
