The 'there is no free speech' is an interesting argument. But only from the perspective of the evangelical. Which is to say whether or not I care if my Godless speech affects evangelical Christians, to say that I am inextricably bound in that narrative economy suggests that I cannot be a rational actor with my own agency. Yes I can understand that people discount my colorblind speech, like people discounted Galileo's speech. But the problem here is that the racialists cannot explain racially retrograde motion because they think that race is the most massive object in our system and that the heavens must revolve around that.

What do we do with the miscegenated? Is it possible that their love can be true, despite the racialists that control the narrative? I put it this way because I think Glenn is suggesting that the One Drop Rule is absolute and that a conceptual counternarrative has no ultimate weight until we all look the same. That people will always consider themselves to be essentially racial, and nothing can counter that. A colorblind principle is pie in the sky unless you make the commitment to miscegenate - and then you are in a particularly committed jeopardy.
