“President Barack Obama and his first attorney general, Eric Holder, called for an honest conversation about race. Holder even called us “a nation of cowards” because we were unwilling to have a “national conversation” about race. The truth of the matter is there’s been more than a half-century of conversations about race. We do not need more. Instead, black people need to have frank conversations among ourselves, no matter how uncomfortable and embarrassing the topics may be.”

Don’t all black lives matter? From the Lewrockwell.com blog.
“On the front page of today’s Baltimore Sun is one headline about three black men shot dead in the city last night by other black men. Next to it is another headline about the “Black Lives Matter” protests in the city which were held just two blocks from one of the murders while the murder occurred. The protesters of course paid no attention whatsoever to that, or to the other two murders of black men by other black men in their own neighborhood. Their new logo should be: “Black Lives Matter. Kinda. Sometimes. Depends.” “

Isn’t the Supreme Court decision the essence of racism, judging people by their color? Whatever happened to the goal of a color-blind society?
The 4-to-3 decision said officials may consider race of applicants in a limited way to build a diverse student body.

Liberty transcends race and ethnicity

A letter in today’s Record (Bergen County, NJ) sets the record straight, libertarianism is not a philosophy for only white people.
Libertarians appeal to all
Regarding “Libertarians could hurt candidate, but whom?” (Other Views, June 1):
The Op-Ed article by Bloomberg News Columnist Albert Hunt stated “there probably wouldn’t be much support for Libertarians among Latinos and African-Americans…”
What a patronizing and misguided statement. Is Hunt suggesting that individual liberty has no appeal to minority voters? Racial and ethnic minorities have to deal with government interference in their lives on a daily basis just like everyone else and perhaps more so.
Racial profiling of minorities is a direct outgrowth of the “war on drugs” which we Libertarians would end. Your life and body belong to you, not the state. That idea is the basis of what our country is supposed to be all about.
The Libertarian Party and movement are both based on the idea that we are all individuals — regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender choice or orientation. Our party and movement is open to all and always has been. If you’re for freedom, we’re for you.

Brigid Harrison, professor of political science and law at Montclair State University, makes several observations in her column (The Record) today, “A look at our Legislature’s make up”. Harrison focuses on a new report issued by Stockton University’s William J. Hughes Center for Public policy comparing the demographic characteristics of New Jersey legislators with those of the general population. The report points out that Legislature is 83% white, 15% African American, 8% Hispanic (of any race) and 2% Asian. New Jersey’s population is 69% white, 14% African-American, 18% Hispanic and nearly 9% Asian.
