So Bouie has been arguing that Enlightenment philosophy is inherently tainted with racism. @HeerJeet has made many similar claims. Some thoughts. 1https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1002946352165335040 …
I'm making a historical claim that actual classical liberalism & Enlightenment had racist component. But that's different from saying they are inherently racist since I also say that they can & did evolve.

First “classical liberalism” is the name of a *contemporary* philosophy not a historical school. Second you have implied in the past that anyone who accepts the mantle of classical liberal must accept racist or chauvinist views:https://mobile.twitter.com/heerjeet/status/972153369597898753?lang=en …

Now this makes sense if the racism/chauvinism are logically connected to the core philosophical principles. Otherwise it does not. But either way you make no case for that connection.
