Racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, sexism, anything Nazi and a boatload of other things have no place in my life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Racial prejudice, anti-Semitism, or hatred of anyone with different beliefs has no place in the human mind or heart.
Sexual orientation, color, background - that's what I want people to take away: Anyone can be anything.
Hatred, racism, and extremism have no place in this country.
The hardest thing I had to overcome in life? I think racism. That's so difficult because I don't think anyone can ever understand it. It's not that people don't want to understand it, but they don't want to touch it.
Anything which interferes with my social life is a no-no.
I grew up in a strongly socialist family. While I was at school, I worked in party politics and with organizations like the Anti-Nazi League. Everywhere I saw it, I fought prejudice.
Socialists find me too far left; Trotskyites not far enough; ecologists say I am too happy eating foie gras, defending nuclear energy and GM plants; feminists find I am not enough of a woman; anarchists a petit-bourgeois who has sold out because I believe in universal suffrage.
I'm not specifically attached to anything other than trying to, in my personal life, fight against where I see right wing thinking. Whether it be around my dinner table or on the street or somebody reading the New York Post.
In a world filled with hate, prejudice, and protest, I find that I too am filled with hate, prejudice, and protest.
I stand for anti-bigotry, anti-Semitism, and anti-racism.
