Racism is not libertarian

Wendy McElroy speaks for me on this issue, right here as a matter of fact:
Share ThisI have given up on the hope that the true authors of the Ron Paul Newsletter, which prompted so much discussion of racism within the movement, will come forward even to exonerate Paul. I now hope that, in light of backlash from the wider movement, those racist views are no longer presented as “libertarian.” They are simply personal views (and ones I find abhorrent) that some libertarians happen to hold along with their belief in individual rights. How such people reconcile their methodological individualism with ‘group think’ is beyond me. Happily, it is their problem and not mine.
