Libs Dumb Down Debate

All these charges of racism and bigotry are made to stifle debate about controversial issues like affirmative action and gay marriage.

Proponents of the blatant racial preferences that pass for affirmative action don’t really want to answer the question of why the child of a black family making $100,000 and living in, say, Howard County in Maryland should have an edge in college admissions over a poor white family in Baltimore making $20,000, whose child scored higher on the SATs and has a better grade point average.

So it’s easier to just dismiss those who raise the question as racists. It’s easier to dismiss proponents of traditional marriage as bigots than to answer questions about whether changing traditional marriage will lead to polygamy, or the lowering of the minimum age to marry.
