How do you have a respectful or insightful discussion with someone uninterested in being respectful or having insight?

How do you explain the suffering caused by separating children from parents at the border to someone who doesn't see those people as human? To someone who thinks they deserve to suffer for existing in the wrong color of skin? At what point do you call a spade a spade?

If they're uninterested in respectful discussion, then you should just leave them alone.

Would you like to know my opinion on those things?

We should definitely make the legal immigration process easier. But we shouldn't just allow people to immigrate illegally. And you shouldn't be separating families without a good reason, and it shouldn't be for very long. A few hours is okay, but if you need go longer than 24 hours, you should give them chances to see their family.

Your skin color doesn't matter, it should be irrelevant to basically everything. (Also, what was the last law passed that was racist? Because isn't that completely unconstitutional?)

And no one should suffer. But that's a really hard goal to reach, and so we do end up with a lot of compromises.

I'd be happy to have a civil discussion over these subjects. All I ask is we don't call anyone evil, just for being in a particular group.
