Intellectually lazy comment and cheap smear that doesn't really contribute much to the conversation.
Reason certainly doesn’t support racism or not giving full civil rights to blacks.
And if you RTFA, you’d see 25% of liberals agree they have to self-censor so clearly it’s not just the right who thinks this is a problem.
- TheCoelacanth 3y agoThey don't support overt racism, but they do have an ideological blindspot for any racism that might require government action to resolve. They are biased towards an individualist, "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" interpretation of racism. As long as there isn't overt discrimination, any racial discrepancy is assumed to be the result of choices or inate capabilities differing between individuals of different races. They are heavily biased against admitting to the existence of any systematic racism.
