THE VOICE OF REASON
Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

Being libertarian enough to tolerate people expressing racist views
I see myself as a figure that racists and libertarians could unite under since I am such a libertarian that I would tolerate the expression of racist opinions. It is no different from tolerating opinions not about race that one finds offensive.
