[Lnc-business] Darker Shade of Liberty

[Rich Tomasso]

This was the title of a session I attended at the recent Liberty Forum.
The topic was mostly about why typical liberty outreach does not appeal 
to minorities. And a few ideas to improve our efforts.

The highlights of what's not working:
The 1776 fetish.
Historic revisionism of a libertarian golden age.
Awkward framing of issues.
Insensitivity to racism and playing on old paradigms.

Opportunities:
Left Statists courting minorities and nothing from the Right.
Growing frustration with Progressives, feeling taken for granted, but 
ignored by Conservatives.
Memes to counter political myths.
The Drug War is clearly racist.
