I wrote a whole book about this, so I won't repeat myself, but this is probably just a point on which we disagree. The wisdom of Hume and Kant won't be killed off by me or Lu-Adler or anyone else.

I'm not one to critique morality. I critique racism as producing bad philosophy. Racists are not thinking well or clearly about human beings. It isn't ad hominem to indicate incorrect and oppressive thinking. It's not like the critique is of something Kant said to a friend once--it's to his philosophical writing, which is incorrect on race.

I, for one, am rather tired of the sanctification of certain figures as impervious to interrogation--see the incredibly vicious responses to anyone discussing Hume or Kant's racism. We should question everything! But *everything*, though, without swaddling certain figures in cloaks of innocence they themselves never asked for.
