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
Libertarian National Committee (LNC) | Libertarian Party https://www.lp.org/libertarian-national-committee/ is as *melanin
deficient Libertarian National Committee (LNC) | Libertarian Party 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

) since the NAP is meaningless if bigots are okay with cows
chickens pigs & fish corpses/carrion being used, totally unnecessarily, as
human food.

Just came across one of the best statements I’ve seen on why bigotry should be condemned by libertarians: "Bigotry is a direct path towards tyranny. It is irrational and repugnant because the first step in increasing the power of the state is to dehumanize its targets. As a party, we must hold true…

To 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 https://radgeek.com/gt/2008/10/03/libertarianism_through/ Rad Geek People's Daily 2008-10-03 – Libertarianism through Thick and Thin https://radgeek.com/gt/2008/10/03/libertarianism_through/). 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,

Just came across one of the best statements I’ve seen on why bigotry should be condemned by libertarians:
"Bigotry is a direct path towards tyranny. It is irrational and repugnant because the first step in increasing the power of the state is to dehumanize its targets. As a party, we must hold true to the cosmopolitan tradition of classical liberalism precisely because humanizing even our enemies protects their rights and, by extension, our own. We should unite behind the principles that have held true for over 250 years. From Locke to Bastiat and Paine to von Mises, the acceptance of others is a cornerstone of liberalism. We either take a stand against “othering,” or we will watch their rights slip away with ours soon to follow.”
