Okay, so you agree you can accept a person as a human and a friend without accepting their beliefs? Because that's what I'm saying
I wouldn't really agree with that only because its just not your job. You don't have a responsibility with burdening yourself with constantly correcting others.
Misleading question. If their "differing belief" is that God created the Earth, or that crystals have healing magic, then whatever. They can be kooky if they want. If their "differing belief" is that only whites deserve to live, they can get fucked.
What a deliciously convenient excuse for not challenging your nazi friends. "It's not my job!!"
It's also "not your job" to queue properly, to put shopping trolleys back in the corral, or to obey traffic laws. You do it anyway, though, because it is the right thing to do. I don't have to be employed for every little thing i do.
But hey, let's try your logic: it is not my job to ensure that every little racist feels accepted and understood. It's not my responsibility to coddle Nazis.
Well it is your responsibility in some ways to not intentionally mistreat others. But I agree your job isn't to talk to racists. I never tried to tell you it was. I did tell you someone can talk to racists without being a racist themselves though.
If you don't challenge their racism, you're just accepting it.
We already talked about this
