jrodefeld posted:Do you understand the concept of time preference? If I have a high time preference it merely means that I prefer goods sooner than later. Does that make me inferior? Does that make me less intelligent? If there are observed differences in time preference between different cultures and racial groups, why is it inherently racist to point that out? Dude, you're racist. Embrace it. Edit: The term "Academic Racist" describes your views well. SPLC has some good articles about academic racism and historical revisionists.

It's only a coincidence that white people are naturally better at time preference, honest.

"Discrimination is no big deal"-a white man JR should just do what tea partiers do, and wear his prejudices with pride. I respect Ted Nugent infinitely more than a man who insists that there are no racial undertones in modern libertarianism.

Jrode, I think you're confused as to why people care so much about how discrimination will be handled in libertarian society. jrodefeld posted:But at least she was never caught saying the n-word! Racism is reprehensible. But shouldn't acts of aggression and policies that actually hurt more than someone's feelings be considered a little worse? Like right here it tell us pretty much all we need to know. African-American Civil rights, the women's liberation movement, and the grape strikes were all about people's feelings getting hurt apparently. Really what's clear is that as a person who's never experienced discrimination, you're unable to acknowledge the fact that for a lot of minority groups, racial or otherwise, the government is one of the few institutions that can enforce their equal rights. I don't think you can really understand why people give such a poo poo about racism without recognizing that there is more to discrimination than just mean looks.

jrodefeld posted:I think it is disingenuous for you to automatically assume that anyone who even touches upon these questions is motivated by racism, whether it is Hoppe and his suggestion of differences in Time Preference between some cultures or even Charles Murray in The Bell Curve. These questions are not as clear as you seem to think they are. The Bell Curve is not the hill you want to die on JR. It's social Darwinist pseudoscience at its finest, and I'd hate for you to be mislead about a worthless rag like that.

jrodefeld posted:Of course it had an effect! But the "law" is part of the State, which I am opposed to as a libertarian. But, according to libertarian property rights theory, people still have the right to exclude anyone they like from their private property. All the State laws that held up this segregation, Jim Crow laws, public school segregation and things of that nature should have been repealed and were repealed. Segregation didn't end from popular opinion. It wasn't called the Crisis at Littlerock for nothing. These are the white supremacist roots we're talking about.

tbp is saying some confusing stuff. "The government failed to properly regulate and enforce the private sector, therefore we should reject the government." Correct me if I read you wrong, tbp, but I feel like the better answer would be to strengthen regulatory bodies and make efforts to detach politics from wealth.
