Are Libertarians RACISTS?

 

Are Libertarians RACISTS?

What is racism?

1.   the prejudice that members of one race are intrinsically superior to members of other races

2.   discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race

Rand Paul and his father Ron truly believe the government should never tell a private for profit business it can’t discriminate.  They like all Libertarians think government has no role to play in private business.

For most Libertarians to the above questions is; no to #1 and yes to #2.  So by definition they are racist because they support a policy that supports discrimination based on race.

This all came up when Rand said he didn’t support the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  It bars discrimination based on race for any business that offers service to the public.

Rand and his racist buddies say government should be forced not to discriminate, but not individuals and private business.

All business is private.  We don’t buy anything from the government.  Food, housing, clothing, medicine, cars, you name it we buy it from private business.

So can a business charge minorities more than white people?  Yes.  I should say HELL YES!  That is what Rand and his buddies would say.  Government has no say in this.

So what they are for is the following:

1.   Homes for sale have signs that say white only (NO NIGGERS)

2.   Restaurants say white only (NO NIGGERS)

3.   Shops say whites only (NO NIGGERS)

4.   Insurance companies that say white only (NIGGER pay 50% more)

5.   Banks that say loans to white only (NIGGERS pay a higher fee and higher rates)

You get the idea.  But this isn’t racist.  Really!  What is it?  It is the individual’s right to be free from evil government regulation.  The founding fathers were against government regulation, these patriots scream.

We know what the founding fathers were trying to accomplish by what they said in the Preamble to our US Constitution:

“ We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general  Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

How does allowing discrimination establish justice and promote the general welfare ?  It doesn’t.

The equal protection clause in the Bill of Rights, says all people must be treated equally.  If I have the price of a meal and you have a public café, I get to buy the meal.  You can’t say no blacks will be served.

Rand Paul and his daddy say yes people can simply not serve blacks or charge them more or whatever they like and that is the definition of “establish Justice” and that in fact “promotes the general welfare.”

Are Libertarians stupid?  Are they too dumb to see what has just been written?  No.  They know the above is true and they still like the idea that people have the right to treat one person different based on his race.

That is racism.  The belief and practice of discrimination based on race.  Rand may in fact not practice discrimination but he supports your right to be a racist and to discriminate against people based on race.

The Tea Party and Tea Baggers are mostly against the same law and for the right of the individual to both be a racist and to discriminate against others based on race.

Rand is also a Christian.  Or is he?
