Pat Kraut says: "You think the Catholic remark was bigoted...but I have 
heard that said about Catholics all my life."  Excuse me, Pat?  Does that 
make it true?  By extrapolation then, when someone in the Jim Crow south 
defended maltreatment of African-Americans because "I've heard all my life 
they're lazy and shiftless", did that make that perception true?
