"Intermediate Ground"

"I oppose some of the arguments and tactics of anti-racism activists today even though I believe those activists have the basic diagnosis right. There are real and daunting structural barriers to Black well-being and success, and they exist as the legacy of centuries of enslavement and oppression. The problem is that some of the activists' prescriptions—framing issues as zero-sum racial conflict, focusing intently on individual attitudes and language—are misguided and self-defeating."

Brink Lindsey at the Niskanen Center argues that "Moderation In Pursuit of Social Justice Is an Indispensable Virtue."
