"In the context of this conversation on racial discrimination it is." In what sense, Tim? "Also detaining combatants in a war doesn't resemble the mass disappearance of political opponents." The latter hasn't happened. I never claimed that it did. Nor has the present administration showed any sign that they mete out punishment based on race. However, the president was rather gratuitously given that power under the previous administration. "A bias or agenda is real, but no more so than from just about any other source that is going to develop arguments in this area." That isn't correct, Tim. Most sources at least attempt to be unbiased, although their bias can't totally be eliminated. The Cato Institute has made it very clear that they will purge anyone who dissents, even mildly. That is a huge difference.
