I am always disturbed by what we humans will do to each other out of hatred, fear and ignorance. It also makes me wonder if I too possess some of these qualities and what would cause them to come out. How many times do I do something unknowingly? Is every time I don't speak out a small act of violence on it's own?

The other thing that really disturbed me about this book is that some of the reasoning, some of the plotting sounds almost reasonable and is rhetoric I hear today from people I wouldn't necessarily consider to be prejudiced. I know the KKK is not as big as it used to be, but the insidious thoughts still exist.
