CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Of course, evolution has rendered distrust of the "stranger who looks different" a sound survival approach. What OWG seems to have missed out on is the use of rational thought - another evolutionary winner - to analyse (and readily discard) the intuitive dislikes and stereotypical judgements that come with the simplistic "stranger bad" approach.

Alternatively, one could see it as a member of an oppressing majority being reluctant to risk a member of an oppressed minority gaining the potential to reduce the inequality, in case they think the way he does...

It is not a meme, you just do not understand it and have shown, over the years, a complete inability to learn.
