re: #77 Killgore Trout

He’s on record about a half dozen times making the same statement. Even on the Ingram interview he approaches the same thing. He says that institutions that receive government money should be barred from racist discrimination. Private institutions such as businesses and restaurants are not included.

I understand that. What I’m saying is that he is instinctively (and abstractly, to use his words) anti-government, but doesn’t actually think about the actual, practical racism that would ensue.

It doesn’t make much sense to me to think in such a way, but I see that attitude all around me, and I thought I saw it in him. And it’s no excuse.
