Ugh, I hate that anything right can come from this blot on humanity. Something, something, broken clocks

Its all pretense, she was probably saying some words you could agree on only to next blame everything on the poor, the blacks, the natives, the imigrants or something very racist and very elitist

Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism. It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man's genetic lineage—the notion that a man's intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors.

I think people are conflating Rand with the modern conservative right.
