They praised "discriminating tastes" and when they spoke of a "discriminating" person, it meant someone who used good judgment.<br /><br />I didn't want to get into a whole different level of discourse in the posting above, which any mention of human biodiversity would have entailed. That's an important discussion, but it won't have any practical consequences unless we first overcome the slanderous <i>tactics</i> of the opposition.Rick Darbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02371910140619422820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-86785340922486559772010-07-16T10:57:50.042-10:002010-07-16T10:57:50.042-10:00Rick, I'm going to go even farther than you. ...Rick, I'm going to go even farther than you. I do not resent "unfounded accusations" of racism so much as I refute the entire premise that awareness of racial differences and preferences for one's own are inherently wrong. As common sense has long known and science has begun to prove, even babies notice racial differences and "discriminate." Discrimination, to which the ignorant have given a negative connotation, merely means to distinguish or choose or express a preference for. This act of choosing is morally neutral in and of itself, and all people "discriminate" constantly in the myriad of choices our modern life affords us. <br /><br />While there may be some individuals of courage amongst the Tea Party throngs, far too many are desperate to prove their racial bona fides and any non-white who attends is automatically elevated to nobility if not sainthood. Let me clarify: anyone of any race may protest against excessive taxation. That fact that a black does so is not indicative that he possesses any more strength of character or nobility of spirit than any of the whites who choose to do the same. Not only is Deanna Rogers trying in vain to prove a negative, she is perpetuating the fallacious liberal meme that race is a social construct and we are all the same. No, we most definitely are not. God created individuals and races and there exists no natural equality other than equally fallen into sin, and no national equality other than equality before the law. So, do I choose to discriminate - to make a choice or a preference known? Most assuredly.Sheilanoreply@blogger.com
