@AlsoACarpenter "They don't see race, but they benefit from racism."

— Charisse C. Levchak
@AlsoACarpenter "In other words, the problem is not that Justice O'Connor does not see race, but rather that she sees race in a particular way. Her decision to see Bostick as a man and not as a black man does not ignore race; it conStructS race."

-- The Michigan Law Review
@AlsoACarpenter "The Constitution is color blind and color conscious. To avoid conflict with the equal protection clause, a classification that denies a benefit, causes harm, or imposes a burden must not be based on race. In that sense the Constitution is color blind.
@AlsoACarpenter But the Constitution is COLOR CONSCIOUS to PREVENT discrimination being perpetuated and to undo the effects of past discrimination. The criterion is the relevancy of color to a LEGITIMATE government purpose."

The Black Libertarian Walter Williams has died.

I enjoyed his book "South Africa's War Against Capitalism

I was a critic of many of his views on 1) The Confederacy and 2) The Transatlantic Slave Trade.

Slouching Towards White Nationalism

In 1902, a black minister warned the #RepublicanParty about Its slide towards #whitenationalism! He notes the global impact that #whitesupremacy in the party was having on those in #PuertoRico 🇵🇷 & #Philippines 🇵🇭.

#blackconservatives
Presbyterian Minister, Rev. Francis Grimke, on the Republican Party (speech delivered on Oct 12, 1902):

1/ “A party with such men, as it had in it years ago, may well be called, "The Grand Old Party." I take the term, grand, to apply to the old party— ...
2/ ... the party as it used to be, not to the party as it is today, with its petty little programme of a White Republican Party in the South; the elimination of Negro office-holders in the South, out of deference to white southern sentiment; white supremacy in the Philippines ...
