The second: It never will. <\/p>\n<p>How can both these things be true? The first (so it seems to me) is obvious. By almost any measure and on almost every front&#8211;race, ethnicity, gender, politics&#8211;there is palpably less bigotry in the land. And what bigots remain (with such obvious exceptions as skinheads and their ilk) seem increasingly uneasy with their bigotry&#8211;as though they know it is something they need to work on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tolerance for the Intolerant The Washington Post by William Raspberry Will America ever be free of bigotry?
