re: #262 jvic

That makes sense if both sides have hidden agendas that would lose them the election if discussed openly. So they try to appropriate the emotional content of words without being held accountable by their meanings.

Well sure, “if”. That might even apply on the Democratic side, and in another reflection or projection, they will probably think the Republicans are doing the same. But Republican “racism” is mostly being color-blind, race-blind, that is, the Democrats call that evil and bad and “racist”. Is this a secret Republican agenda, to be color-blind?

Anyway, I personally support some affirmative action, I’m afraid in this day and age, a real race-blind system will not produce the outcome-based results that we need for social stability. Maybe there’s some justice in it, I don’t know about that, at least I don’t support it on that basis.
