re: #296 gehazi

I don’t think it’s prudent to accuse RogueOne or Rand Paul or whoever of racism per se. Since it is true that they are “merely” advocating for the rights of others to be racist, it’s an easily avoidable charge.

Just stick with: your political philosophy enables racism by placing the abstract principal of personal gain above actual human lives and groups.

It’s not that Paul is racist (so far as we know), it’s that he basically doesn’t care about racism in the actual world.

I’m not sure I’d go that far. Ron Paul had a newsletter for years that ran what I would consider racist articles and jokes. I don’t know anything about Rand other than he’s an orthodontist from KY which probably isn’t a very big money maker.
