Collective Judgment

More from Elie Wiesel:

“No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. ”

“All collective judgments are wrong.”  As I dwell on that it rings true.  There’s always someone in the group to prove the collective judgment wrong.  All African-Americans are not _____.  All Muslims are not _____.  All Caucasians are not _____.

That was Wiesel’s point in the quote, which in its complete form reads:

“No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them.”

Ouch!
