He was joking.

Woody Allen started his career doing stand-up comedy. I had one of his live albums. Hilarious, he is great at self-deprecating jokes:

"Once again, I tried committing suicide - this time by inhaling next to an insurance salesman."

My insurance salesman father loved that joke.

"Good Lord, why am I so guilty? Is it because I hated my father? Probably it was the veal-parmigian incident. Well, what was it doing in his wallet? If I had listened to him, I would be blocking hats for a living. I can hear him now: 'To block hats- that is everything.' I remember his reaction when I told him I wanted to write: 'The only writing you'll do is in collaboration with an owl.' I still have no idea what he meant. What a sad man! When my first play, A Cyst for Gus, was produced in the Lyceum, he attended opening night in tails and a gas mask."

From Woody Allen's book, "Without Feathers," a gift from my late father.

In thinking about it, I guess a person could be a bigot about those who are willfully ignorant. That category would pretty much easily encapsulate pretty much any kind of bigotry from the left.

Both the right and left have bigots. The right most definitely but it's not impossible for someone on the left to be just as bigoted it's just less frequent. Left leaning bigots might support the rights of women and minorities but will turn a blind eye if men and white people are discriminated against. They are intolerant of anyone that deviates even the slightest from their worldview, branding you a racist and a sexist right off the bat if you don't conform.

Antifa is an example of extreme bigotry - authoritarian, violent, toxic.

There are plenty of bigots on the political left...

I will say "antifa" is a silly concept used by the right to condone their own bigotry. Yes there are antifacists. I am one. I rate fascists along with child molesters and traitors to the United States. In this vein I believe it perfectly American to challenge all facists at all times and in some instances punching one in the face may be a reasonable reaction. Now, the post supposed there are bigots on the left and yes, some one the left suppress speech, like from that child molester Milo or racist and Nazi Ann Coulter. Instead of suppression they should have let them speak and laugh at them.

Now, after my last comment let's say this, if the left has some bigotry, it pales in comparison to the right where they activity suppress the vote of people of color, cheer the killing of American blacks by police, applaud the poison water in Flint and generally preach hate with their base. No, we are nothing as bad as the right, we have empathy, moral commitment and believe in democracy.
