"… sorry, I know you very much want to think me a racist, but I don't have a problem with the president's race, none at all, zip… well, except in the sense that his race is used and abused so liberally by liberals to suppress dissent and construct free speech killing orthodoxies of correct thinking dogma that if one dare challenges the legitimacy of one is immediately stigmatized as not being fit for tolerance and summarily disappeared… I do have a problem with that, as should anyone who values true democracy as a good and necessary thing… but alas so it's like to be with all the identity candidates the left puts forward from now till end times, it won't be them being a woman or Hispanic or gay or whatever that will trouble me but rather how that identity will be used to bury my opinions and take away my rights to openly debate anything I deem worth debating… my problem will not at all be with their identities per se but rather with the enforced orthodoxy those identities will be co-opted to blindly serve… this is why, had Iraq not compromised her reputation so, it would never have sufficed for the left if Condoleezza Rice had become the first black and female president since those identities, wasted on a person vitiated by wrong thinking, would have been utterly drained of utility in service of the great cause… forget all their high minded sentiments and putatively noble ideas, for the liberal elite if the first black president had been a conservative or even possibly just a moderate independent it wouldn't have moved the needle at all, except of course into the negative one imagines… no, he had to be one of them for it to matter, for what good is race if it can't be used to stifle debate and enshrine as beyond reproach the autocracy of the progressives…"
