“So maybe we’re all bigots. But we can still be civil.”

I’m not certain how much agree with Patterson’s premise; it sounds like he believes that it’s okay to be a bigot as long as you don’t act like one. But it is Psychology 101 that repressed, and suppressed, feelings will eventually come out, often in explosive ways.
