Bigotry Is A Phobia
Bigotry is a phobia,
because bigots are
afraid of what they
are bigoted toward!
In other words,
bigotry is a phobia
since bigots fear
those for whom they
have bigoted feelings!
-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Three Dark Horses)

My Writing About Bigotry Being A Phobia (Fear): Bigotry is a phobia (or fear), because bigots are afraid of what they are bigoted toward! In other words, bigotry is a phobia since bigots fear those for whom they have bigoted feelings! –Paul Whiting (written May 12th, 2016, revised May 13th, 2016 and revised October 13th, 2022)
My Spiritual Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: What the phrase "Bigotry is a phobia since bigots fear those for whom they have bigoted feelings" means to me is this: bigots are trying to alleviate their phobia (or, their fear) of those who are not one of them (or, those for whom they have bigoted feelings) by judging those who are not one of them, whom the bigots fear!
And this poem was also published on my "Small All White in the Forest," "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Small All White in the Forest," "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."
This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
