Due to some particularly mean-spirited comments I’ve had to moderate, commenting on this post is now closed. At this point I don’t see the debate as productive any longer, and is veering into territory unrelated to the veracity of Akin’s book.

faoladh, While I am aware that certain people of a very liberalist mentality try to deny that there are different races of human beings, I cannot help be see such denial as being an absurdity. It is equivalent to saying that there is no such thing as different breeds of dogs, when in fact it is exceedingly obvious that there are different canine breeds, just as there are different races of humans. While there are some dogs who are mixed and do not belong to any particular breed, that in no way invalidates the existence of the the many other various breeds, and the same holds true for humans. Perhaps it is simply part of the liberalist agenda to encourage inter-breeding between races as a means of doing away with the differences between them; but that in itself is an extremely radical ideology which is far less desirable than one which would seek to preserve the distinctions that are an intrinsic part of the various races in their natural state of existence.

Apparently the Akins clan crest and tartan have both been registered for quite some time. In fact there is more than one Akins tartan sold in Scotland, one being a green and burgundy Clan tartan and the other being a red dress sett. See: http://www.houseoftartan.co.uk/house/default.htmAnd for the Clan crest: http://www.houseofnames.com/xq/asp.fc/qx/akins-family-crest.htmNeither of which as far as I can see should be reason for causing a “major publicity nightmare” as many families (literally hundreds) have their own tartan, and thousands more have coats of arms associated with them.

Ben Edair,that’s absurd. of course one can discriminate based on imaginary or meaningless properties. it’s just a stupid thing to do. one might, for instance, manufacture a secret conspiracy of all people with type AB+ blood, and assume that any apparently benign actions of such people are cover for their hidden corrupt soul. after all, they can take blood donations from anyone, but are “not able” to make them in return (“not able” or “won’t”, eh?). that’s the level of validity that most of us see in racist nonsense, such as that expressed in the quote from Mr. Akins – which is to say, no validity at all.
