Imagine being an informed, educated European having to listen to a lecture by Marco Rubio

4. The "I hear white" tinnitus is not good

Women's rights, for example, are Western. Every Democrat supports them. Calling them somehow cryptically "white" would be, in a word, wrong, both intellectually and morally.

The separation of church and state, also supported by basically every Democrat, is largely owed to a "white guy" (Locke). It obviously doesn't mean every drooling white antisemite or race-head is Locke. But it does mean that the adjective "white" is often a poor word choice, regrettably ignorant, or unjustly aggressive toward innocent individuals.

True liberalism is colorblind and should be colordeaf and color mute too, imo. This Hatfields and McCoys crap is going to start looking like luxury tantrums pretty soon, imo. The Tao Te Ching talks about emptying minds and stuffing bellies. That's what we should be doing.
