If you watch the interview you will see that he tries his best to duck and dodge giving concrete answers but the few times he does give an answer it's very telling.  Most people today don't want to come out and say they are racist but instead they use subliminal messages and catch phrases to show it.

Are you really insinuating that Rand Paul is a racist because he thinks private business owners should be allowed to be dickheads? This is a pretty common belief among libertarians, and it's not because of some cloaked racism.

Where was the outcry from Rachel Maddow when the officially sanctioned Congressional Black Caucus wouldn't let Steven Cohen join because he is white?

Well if libertarians believe that surely they must see the danger in it.  It threatens to move the country backwards when it comes tolerance and acceptance.

And if the Congressional Black Caucus declined Steven Cohen because he is white than they are in the wrong and something should be done about it.  

Supposing that's true, if the only thing keeping the country from self-segregating all over again is someone pointing a gun at our heads and forcing us to mingle, then it's only a matter of time before it all falls apart. I'm not at all convinced that's the case.

Nothing will be done about the Congressional Black Caucus, because it's a politically correct form of discrimination. There was remarkably little outrage when it happened, and the only reason it got any coverage at the time is because it's fairly rare that the double standard is that naked at the federal level.
