At some point a struggle for one contradicts the struggle for the other. There's a lot of anger involved and distrust because there's been dishonesty on both sides. Everyone thinks the other is an enemy, and in a sense they are, so the tension between the two sides is heightened and the differences made more stark.<br /><br />Individualism taken to its conclusion must support the postracial solution. Why don't Individualists spend more time promoting transracialism? It undermines the larger postracialism goals. All that other stuff, where it puts them in political alliances and identity politics, is just convenience and bonus.Patrick Laskenoreply@blogger.com
