I noticed that a group of people gathered at UT yesterday and held a peaceful protest against racism by essentially saying racist things. Strange days.

On a long enough timeline, the activists may become as intolerant as the people who they have protested.

I think that's a quote by Groucho Marx.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

... if a society is tolerant without limit, their ability to be tolerant will eventually be seized or destroyed by the intolerant.

... in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.
