There are all types of bigotry ( racism minutia is only one … I’m mixed
AA/Black/Hispanic so I can say that in any venue… ). #Drag is bigotry
against Women/TheMajority ( as #blackface was against AAs/Blacks —
“The16%” – who were at least permitted to live as chattal slaves for
decades, the #USgovt simply exterminated wih brutal force tens of millions
Native Tribes, à la Palestinians today, who would otherwise be the Top US
Ruling Majority today ). Focussing on just one facet of bigotry is in
itself bigoted.
Besides, as long as the LNC
https://www.lp.org/libertarian-national-committee/ is as *melanin
deficient https://www.lp.org/libertarian-national-committee/ *as it is,
Libertarians would be wise to keep vewy vewy quiet about “racism” or make
YourSelves targets for endless deserved ridicule in the media & TOTAL
DEFEAT AT THE POLLS. Besides, since there are #drag ( not blackface
) posters all over San Francisco, perhaps Starchild should start with
misogyny, not racism.
Furthermore, instead of obsessing over negative terms, popular campaigns
often use positive terms, as Dr Paul did with his LOVE/revolution
campaigns ( … … wow, g🕶gle seems to have erased/logarithmically
downgraded all Dr Paul’s marvelous potus campaign vids… that’s not
politically
bigoted at all … ). LOVE is the best form of “anti-bigotry” &
proto-Libertarian anarchist Leo Tolstoy was & is still the paragon of
libertarian love, extending the Non Aggression Principle to include all
sentient life ( Read: The Ethics of Diet
https://www.amazon.com/Ethics-Diet-Anthology-Vegetarian-Thought/dp/1907355219
) since the NAP is meaningless if bigots are okay with cows
chickens pigs & fish corpses/carrion being used, totally unnecessarily, as
human food.

June 7To clarify, I mean “best” in terms of being persuasive to libertarians who
think the movement should take a “thin” approach on the question of racism.
(If you are unfamiliar with the concepts of “thin” and “thick”
libertarianism, see Rad Geek People’s Daily 2008-10-03 – Libertarianism
through Thick and Thin

Rad Geek People's Daily 2008-10-03 – Libertarianism through Thick and Thin). Personally I
tend to think the case against bigotry is compelling enough in its own
right, and that its inherent repugnance – never mind any negative effects
to which it may lead – is a fundamentally stronger reason to oppose it.
However the argument about the threat to rights that it poses makes good
sense in the narrower context of libertarianism.Love & Liberty,
