The topic was mostly about why typical liberty outreach does not appeal to minorities. And a few ideas to improve our efforts.<br>
<br>
The highlights of what's not working:<br>
The 1776 fetish.<br>
Historic revisionism of a libertarian golden age.<br>
Awkward framing of issues.<br>
Insensitivity to racism and playing on old paradigms.<br>
<br>
Opportunities:<br>
Left Statists courting minorities and nothing from the Right.<br>
Growing frustration with Progressives, feeling taken for granted, but ignored by Conservatives.<br>
Memes to counter political myths.<br>
The Drug War is clearly racist.<br>
