Default Re: the soft bigotry of low expectations

"Very naive, at best. If you think the color line no longer exists, then you live in never never land."

I don't think it no longer exists, I think it is by now pretty minimal.

"More to the point , what is "long ago". American apartheid wasn't even outlawed until 1964. That is very recent."

To me, 50 years is "long ago". I guess it isn't to you, though. 50 years is over two generations.

"Considering how you hate Muslims, I think giving you the benefit of the doubt is wrong."

I don't hate Muslims, I hate totalitarianism. To the degree that Islam fosters totalitarianism I think it needs reform.

Anyone who cannot see that there is a difference between hating, say, the totalitarianism of the Soviet system, or hating the Soviet people, just isn't very bright.

"Here is a good example. Discrimination occured when c- students like Geoge W.Bush were accepted to Harvard Business School over much more qualified minority applicants because his family had political influence."

There are countless examples of asything you care to look for.
