We'd do well to acknowledge it and if it's possible attempt to correct it though various means like reparations, affirmative action, highlighting subtle racism such as housing discrimination, etc.

The racism article was really good. Takeaway point is that we should spend less effort divining the semi-hidden racism of B list republican politicians and all become libertarians worrying about cops locking up all the black kids for petty drug offenses.

Well it certainly is"logical". We give these tax breaks to incentivize X behavior. How is this done? By making it relatively cheaper than Y behavior. That's a subsidiary.

But Yea liberals decrying Bundy and rando Republicans while patting themselves on the back is who TNC is calling out. I'd probably include myself on that list to some extent.

Nice to see the lefties moving away from fact-based behavior where they hammer racists when they do actual racist stuff to faith-based behavior where they hammer racists based on feeeeeeeelings.

You can (and should) adopt libertarianism wholesale without becoming a Paulite, so RP being a goon shouldn't give you all that much pause.

So like, is the takeaway here that ikes is planning on continuing to be racist and there's no way for us to stop him?

You got us there, dude. Another victory for Team Ikes against the forces of decency.

Honestly I dont think Ikes even read the articles linked. I am pretty sure at least half the time he just hovers the link to find out the title and draws his own conclusions based on that and what others write about it.

ikestoys standing on that wall hemming and hawing about how stupid liberals are still writing about the existence of racism even though come on guys, someone just wrote an article about this subject like a week ago, is what allows Politardia to have the freedom to laugh at Benghaziiiii and Russian slappies and renodoc committing Medicare fraud. We need him on that wall.

You're right ikes, because you say absolutely nothing in your posts and we're left to guess at why on earth you would actually make them:

It's not clear if those jumbles of words are supposed to come together to form some kind of coherent point (that's usually asking a lot of ikes) - all we can really glean from these is that man, ikes sure does get pissy when other people start talking about racism.

So because I don't say things you understand you can make up whatever you want them to be? Awesome stuff goofy. It's not hard to understand. That article is ****ing absurd. The post you quote directly says that racism does exist. You're completely clueless.

"Well duh, obviously that ****ing absurd preposterous article is right, what's your point????"

The problem isn't with those parsing your posts, ikes, it's with the person writing down transcribed interpretations of hysterically waving your arms in the air because...something.

Cliff's: guy who was George Zimmerman's #1 fan and who thought everyone else was afraid of Muslims on airplanes finds article about racism "preposterous" for reasons he can't or won't explain.

Likely because he kneejerked to laugh at the silly libruls, then caught himself and is now walking it back. #TeamWalkitBack in full effect in the ikes houeshold today!
