Liberalism has its foundation in liberty and individual rights: freedom of speech, of the press, of religion, and of the market. Leftism has its foundation in the centralization of these rights not in the individual but in groups organized and directed by the state. Liberalism values color blindness—that the color of one’s skin determines and should determine nothing. Leftists believe that almost everything in society can and should be determined by race alone. Liberalism promotes racial integration and inclusivity; leftism promotes increased racial segregation and exclusion.

What are you talking about, centralizing rights in groups?? This is a nonsensical statement, backed up by nothing. And again, you're mischaracterizing: many people believe the color of your skin nor any other personal trait *should* affect your treatment/rights/opportunities, but a huge number *acknowledge* that it does. "Leftists believe everything should be determined by race"?? Prove it. Again, the ridiculous hyperbole and gross generalization stand in for any actual considered argument. This is an ivy league grad?
