“....Want to find out where race relations really stand? Let’s us do away with all this race based crap and see where the chips fall.”
Yes. It really has nothing to do with color (their club of choice), it has to do with upbringing, morality, drive for education and success, willingness to work and sacrifice for the future. It’s a mindset not a skin color preference - but if you don’t want to make it on your own, highlighting your skin color is a convenient, lazy excuse and a way for race-baiting hustlers to lay blame elsewhere.
Indeed! And we've substituted "higher education" as our cultural church, where liberal professors preach the progressive gospel.
This is a good piece posted on FR about politicians and how much "education" they have.

It shouldn’t matter whether Islam is a religion, a political system, or something else. It’s incompatible with western values. Additionally, Muslims who don’t practice the tenets of Islam are essentially heretics, aka infidels. ISIS is a fundamentalist Islamic organization.
“Islamic terrorists (Muslims) have no confusion about what their beliefs and designs are when dealing with the “infidel problem.””
Agreed, except some professed Muslims do not practice jihad. Those “Muslims” who don’t follow Islam’s tenets are similar to Christians who believe homosexuality and abortion are OK. Muslims who don’t follow the plain meaning of the Islamic spiritual texts are themselves infidels. The terrorists are fundamentalist Muslims who probably hold their peace-loving, multicultural “brethren” in as low regard as true Christians hold the likes of Vicky Gene Robinson (an apostate, unrepentant, actively homosexual Episcopalian priest).
Of course multiculturalism, reasoning and acceptance all falls apart when Progressives teach about Christianity (Big Satan) and Judaism (Little Satan) and free market capitalism.
Bottom line:
Who’s in charge, MATTERS.
No disagreement. However, any moves specifically against Islam or Muslims runs afoul of the 1st Amendment.
It could, of course, be repealed, interpreted or ignored to exclude Islam. To my mind that’s too high a price to pay.
“.....Rousseau populated his fantasy life ....”
Just like “fantasy life” depicted in cartoon movies, and in rows of bookshelves filled with fantasy novels (from picture books, to young adult to adult), and row upon row of bookshelves filled with books on sexual orientation, gender identity and acceptance (from picture books, to young adult to adult).
Popular culture (education and public policy) is being directed by Progressives.
I’m not opposed to letting someone peacefully practice and espouse their religion per the US Constitution. That doesn’t mean we should let our leaders get away with “Religion of Peace” nonsense or let Muslims violate the rights of others. They don’t get to practice shariah here.
Of course not. I’m all in favor of enforcing our laws. And passing new ones to penalize actions as opposed to opinions or beliefs.
My Muslim neighbor is entirely free to believe I’m an infidel and will burn in hell, and for that matter that I should be subjugated to the Ummah.
Try to impose those beliefs by violence and my tolerance stops.
