Not if he's writing for TOQ. Read their home page. They advocate separation of the races in America and a halt to all immigration of people who are not of white European extraction.
I didn't know that -- it's funny to learn how many kook, fringe web sites and journals there are out there. It's hard to keep track of all of them!
I guess that's why the author slams on Sherman so hard -- accusing him of "imperial aggression." Pretty funny, IMHO.
I didn't read this piece. (I try to avoid articles by kooks -- especially long articles by kooks.) So I just assumed it was some liberal slamming on VDH.
I guess from what you've said that the author's agenda is something else (and something equally repellant).
That explains alot about his statements on race that seem to be out of place in the article.
