Read and watch all the info you can on the subject of why so few (basically none) minorities self identify as Libertarians. It's shocking the excuse Libertarians seem to come around to: Black people arent smart enough to understand it.

You used the terms "analyzed" and "philosophy" for your reason - seems to come up a lot when White Libertarians describe their race problem..I have also heard this "It's an intellectual philosophy" from some popular White Libertarians as the REASON Blacks don't get it.

Bullshit.

My surgeon is black, and wealthy..You guys claim he's too dumb to understand your petty "Keep your hands off my shit" philosophy?

There is only one reason Libertarians can't recruit African Americans and it's real real simple:

The Libertarian Ideology works DIRECTLY AGAINST the interests of minorities.

COOL IDEA! Lets close all the public schools, cancel welfare, end food stamps, end health care assistance, end Federal loans and grants for students, end Federal infrastructure spending, end housing assistance...on and on and on... A black klansman makes about as much sense.

Libertarianism, even it's mildest form, is an all out aggression on minorities without really being a racist movement. The only difference between you guys and White Supremacists is that you guys are wealthier and more educated than the skinhead crowd...you guys aren't as directly fueled by racism as them but the net effect of your ideology is all out race war.

Your movement is an intellectual Pro-White war...where as the White Power guys are motivated by emotion and rage. You guys mean well, I really believe that.

It must be a little frustrating to be into a political ideology that will never, ever, gain any traction in our lifetime...It's great fun to fantasize about this utopian state where it's all free will and commerce...only one problem - there are black people here...we brought them as slaves...they had kids. Game over.



BTW that youtube video you posted is absolutely BRILLIANT....in it's slick attempt to coerce people to believe the inverse of reality.
