Moniker:

What whiskey is proposing is, in effect, a supertribe analogous to Islam.

The “white” identity is essentially a negative identity, not a positive one. It comprises people who have nothing culturally in common but share similar skin coloration.

I think it is wisest to trust people based upon their personal reputations. Basing trust upon racial classification is sheer foolishness. I would rather trust Richard Fernandez than John Kerry any day. I would rather trust Thomas Sowell than Keith Olbermann.

Yet, there are those who would claim that “white = trustworthy”. That just isn’t so.

Real tribes are based upon culture, not skin color.
