Allow me to substitute the word "Communist" for "racist" in Mitch's
statements. It should be interesting to see the effect!

"...Unless you can supply evidence that the idealistic vanguard of the
people should have total control, then Communism is faulty thinking.
It is then incorrect and non-scientific. Should we condone or coddle
Communist thinkers in this list?"

I think that the answers to both questions are the same.
