When I was referring to black people, I was not referring to you specifically regarding holding other black people accountable for anti-Semitism.

There is a fault on my part, in which I have not read your work, including about holding black people accountable who express anti-Semitic remarks. I have not done anything parallel concerning white people and white supremacy, particularly for two reasons.

(1) Many people are already doing that kind of thing. It's been done several times over. However, I am more interested in the inconsistencies, wherein I see public figures denounce racism and yet, say some of the most prejudice things.

(2) I often avoid dealing with race all together because I just get tired of it. I have a Morgan Freeman attitude towards racism, in which, one of the current problems about racism is that we talk too much about it. We emphasize race too much and it (along with other forms of identity) is currently a social obsession. So, I get burned out on the subject really quick.

I am a classic liberal, your dear libertarian neighbor. I have garnered more conservative views and leanings than contemporary liberal ones, especially after all the chaos I had witnessed in 2020. But I am not a "right-winger" in the way that you are emphasizing.
