Introducing the Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism (FAIR)

Increasingly, our institutions — colleges and universities, businesses, and even our children's schools — are enforcing a cynical and intolerant orthodoxy that requires us to define ourselves and others by immutable characteristics like skin color, gender, and sexual orientation, and threatens to re-define the very nature of what it means to be human. Today, almost 70 years after Brown v. Board of Education ushered in the first Civil Rights Movement, we are in need of a new Civil Rights Movement.

As recent events have shown, our country risks being torn apart by potent forces of fear and hatred. This is not an issue of left vs. right, or Republican vs. Democrat. Rather, the defining question of our time is: will we let our society be dragged backward to a world of division, discrimination and despair? Or, can we break through the demagoguery and demonization, and move forward together, toward King’s dream of one human race.

That's where FAIR comes in.

The Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism (FAIR) is a nonpartisan organization that exists to advance civil rights and liberties for all, a shared culture of fairness, understanding, and humanity, and a society where all people are judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

This means a lot to many. Having an alternative to CRT is a long-needed glass of water. #againstintolerance souds the way forward 😌

Good to have an organization that believes in judging people by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin. I'm sure I've heard that somewhere before, wink. All humans deserve love and respect regardless of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or political views. Let us spread love and understanding to all humans. Only then will we truly be united as one people, Humans.

I love FAIR's board of advisers. Many of them I follow and some for a long time. My one critique is the term "anti-racism". There's the liberal version of the term as used by FAIR. But there's also the woke/social justice version of it popularized by Ibram X. Kendi, Robin Di Angelo and Angela Davis based on Critical Race Theory. Because I understand CRT and oppose the ideology, I know the difference whereas most people don't and it may be confusing to them. Hopefully I'm wrong.

The character of a person matters, not their skin color or their bank account balances.
