There is an enormous chasm of a difference between supporting slavery, and opposition to racially based preferences. Yes, its enormous but then there is a hundred years between the two issues. Its not even that one idea is a more extreme variant of the other. Racially based slavery is the exact opposite of a "color blind" process. No, it is not. A color blind process concerns itself with issues of discrimination. Slavery is the outright ownership of one human of another. It goes beyond discrimination and gets into issues of chattel and morality. You don't have to be conservative to appreciate a culture's traditions such as halloween or Thanksgiving. No you don't, but traditionally those who cared more about them have been called conservative. I disagree. I am a liberal and I care a great deal about those holidays and try to enjoy them to the max. Many liberals do. They are a culture's traditions. Conservatives get into traditions that transcend culture and are more political/religious in nature. ted
