Racism!

I read yesterday chapter 17 of Ayn Rand's non-fiction work titled The Virtue of Selfishness about racism. 

I thought that it would be interesting to compare what Ayn Rand experienced in 1960s America with what is going on today.  It seems that very little has changed.

I like the fact that Ayn Rand is very thorough.  She shows how she reaches her conclusions and defines her terms.  Pundits and writers today fail to define their terms making debate and reasoned discourse all but impossible.

I do take issue with the title of the book.  The Virtue of Minding Your Own Business would have been better.
