Re: The Key to Race: Depoliticize It
Written by GeorgeDAllen, on 14-10-2000 03:10
The essay "The Key to Race; Depoliticize it" is not about the libertarian or democratic parties, and definitely not about ending racism or race.

The argument is that eliminating government is the cure, and the problem is the 1964 Civil rights act. Marxist-Leninist claimed eliminating capitalism was the cure to all evils. What followed was a structure more oppressive than what was being cured. No "classless society" occured in Russia. Once power was in the hands of a few through selling a lie as the answer, power was abused. Eliminating capitalism did not and does not work but the control of power was grasp through this agenda. The reality was very different from what the theory promised the gullible and did not work.

No elimination of government is going to occur or can occur. We are too many to go back to hunter/gatherer social organization. Using the argument that the real evil is passing a law to give relief to institutionalized racism is just as dishonest and propagandistic as
communists spouting all evil is due to capitalism and the United States to brainwash folks to help them grab power in a third world country. The aim of the author is to turn back the clock to eliminate legal remedy under the guise of greater freedom. He is selling a bill of goods.

The fallacy of logic is "Post Hoc Ergo Procter Hoc", this therefore this. Civil rights laws are laws. All laws restrict freedom-bad. Therefore all civil rights laws are bad. (A dog made a mess on my lawn. A mess on my lawn is bad. Therefore all dogs are bad) Notice that he did not attack laws against murder or rape, just civil rights. If his wife or daughter were murdered or raped I do not believe the posturing would continue to demand to let us work it out ourselves. With a powerful abuse of institutions to harm children already in place he would like to have the remedy eliminated so that he can be more free, in theory, however the child is not free. This selective in attack.

The same argument can be misused against anything that his personal agenda benefits from and is propagandistic-dishonest. This is "thought police" of the highest order. Allow the notion that good is evil for whatever reason and you are standing in rotten cotton. I see this essay as rotten cotton, not the elimination of race or in any way arguing for the elimination of race.

What it argues for is an elimination of the 1964 Civil Rights act which provides some legal remedy IF you have the money to hire a private attorney.

Eliminating protection under the law does not enhance freedom for all, only for those who do not need protection under the law.
