What next, Boaz? Slavery Reparations?

In case you may think David Boaz's recent attack on Jacob Hornberger is anything other than evidence of a recurring pattern in which he exhibits a full-fledged subscription to the intellectually slothful doctrine of Political Correctness, he has now joined the cadre of usual suspects in denouncing Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell's proclamation of "Confederate History Month" for failing to include a hollow "feel good" apology for slavery.

The actual policy effect of an addendum condemning slavery is of course meaningless, and its sole purpose is an act of shallow political pandering to a wholly un-libertarian interest group of professional race-baiters who make their livelihoods in manufacturing racial controversy and using it to manipulate the political system in a thoroughly statist direction. The Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons are not worth the time, energy, or even attention of any thinking libertarian. But Boaz knows that, and is apparently quite okay with pandering to them nonetheless. Boaz also knows that any thinking individual recognizes the inherent evil of slavery, and need not dwell upon restating it to the detraction of all further intellectual discourse on any historical subject it may have tainted. For the same reason, we need not qualify every single discussion of murder with a boiler-plate condemnation of the inherent evil of murder. Or of rape. Or of theft at gunpoint on the side of the road (except when it's the government doing that theft, and the gun-toting highwayman also carries a badge). All thinking people know these wrongs to be obvious, thus eliminating the need to incessantly restate them...unless an entirely different purpose is sought or intended from their repetition.

The next pressing question then is whether Boaz recognizes that ulterior purpose (as a reputed intellectual he likely does), and if so does he adhere to its statist tenets in advancing it?
