Can I dehumanize people who live under bridges? What about people who live in mansions?
Can I dehumanize people who smoke crack? What about people who work at investment banks?
Can I dehumanize Democrats? What about Republicans?
Can I dehumanize people with a criminal record? What about people with a different voting record?
Can I dehumanize uneducated rural folk? What about the liberal elite?
Can I dehumanize the leaders of the #BlackLivesMatter movement? What about the leaders of the #FlatEarth movement?
Can I dehumanize the current president? What about the last?
If we dehumanize ANYONE, we give legitimacy to the act of dehumanization.
We can do better.
Peace,
Ryan
