The most rational selection of products in the universe. For the descendents of black slaves to make demands for special privileges, compensation, and apologies from current Americans who had nothing to do with slavery is an ugly moral inversion that makes Americans who happen to be white guilty because of their skin color. Tracinski said that the only standard that can be used to justify such an approach is racism the idea that each member of the race is responsible for and can be blamed for the actions of every other member, that we are all just interchangeable cells of the racial collective. The result of this approach is not racial harmony or a color-blind society, but racial warfare. Given the premise of racial collectivism, an injustice committed against any past or present member of your racial group entitles you to retaliate against any past or present member of the perpetrator's racial group.
Individual justice is thrown out, replaced by racial vendettas.
An individual should not be judged as representative of his racial group. He should be judged and rewarded or punished based on his ideas and actions. And he certainly must not be forced to pay for crimes committed by others, merely because those others have the same skin color.
