Quote:First off, I don’t think Rand Paul is a racist, not consciously at least. He simply represents a mindset that is completely ignorant and disinterested in all issues concerning race and racism. He’s disinterested in how that affects people in this country who happen to not look like him. He is primarily concerned with preserving the liberties of those who happen to look like him. That’s essentially the nature of true libertarians. That’s why his father has been relegated to the margins in politics. That’s why we don’t have national libertarian candidates. While their views may be based on principles, they are not based on reality.
The problem with the portion I put in bold is that freedom is freedom. It doesn't matter what race, religion or creed you are. White people are not the only ones to own businesses anymore. Black people own businesses too. If they wanted to say "This is my property and you are white, so fuck off." that is their right. And do you honestly think that a business that only allowed one race could actually survive today?
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any Church that I know of. My own mind is my own Church. - Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason
