What’s the expression? ‘Correlation does not equal causation?’
Yeah, that’s it. That’s the ticket.
There are more women than men (IIRC) but there are more men in prison. Is that sexual discrimination, or is it something else?
No.
But try telling that to a race hustler or a radical “feminist” - or an anthropogenic global warming fanatic
Great article. A keeper.
Women can become mothers. Men have a zero percent chance of becoming pregnant.
I wants redistribuparations.
Blacks are 15% of the population but 95% of the players in the NBA.
Dr Walter E. Williams always hits the nail square on the head
Yes, it does. I want my football and basketball career as a white guy that the racist NFL and NBA has denied me. Where is my pigskin reparation?
Nothing is more pernicious than Egalitarian attacks on the realities of human differences. In place of respect for the achievements of those who succeed, Egalitarianism seeds group antagonism & hatred on a level that would never otherwise exist. At the same time, it embarrasses the achievers into abandoning the cultural verities that made the loftier aspects of their success possible.
Western Conservatives, who walk on eggs--as it were--rather than challenge the fantasy of human equality, are in the process of surrendering centuries of the upward endeavors of every Western Nation.

Procrustean egalitarianism.
Clearly whites aren’t raping enough black women, because virtually all black women are raped by black men. While those same black men rape a large percentage of white women.
Perhaps the government can come up with a program to correct that situation? Does Bill Clinton still have an office in Harlem?
Is there any other kind? Did anybody ever sit in a class with his or her equal on either side? We are all different--except for identical siblings--as are any two apples on the same tree.
Jefferson, in the Declaration was replying to that argument that the King ruled by divine right, not suggesting a leveling of the population. The part of the Declaration that is always quoted out of context by the Left, is an exposition of the compact theory of Government. The Founders were very familiar with it, as should be every student of English History, as Magna Carta is a prime example of the practical application of that theory.

Exactly. And Locke echoed that sentiment when he said, in essence, that conservatives prefer liberty over equality. It was the faux egalitarianism of the French Revolution (founded on the Humanist ravings of Rousseau) that made it so bloody, while the American Revolution, based on Lockeian social contract, simply removed the encumbrances to liberty and let each man rise to his own potential. The French ideal punished those who dared excel; the American model left them free to enjoy their reward.
Look how far we’ve fallen. “Social justice” is just a turd in a bowtie, a euphemism for the punitive economic leveling we escaped at our founding.
Note how Leftist theories are always based upon wish lists--what they wish were true, rather than what is actually true. The only difference between Rousseau and the American Academic quack of today, is that Rousseau actually might have had an original idea once or twice. But the confusion of wishes & horses & figurative pigs growing wings, goes back a very long time.
They aren't "fanatics" or even "feminists" ...... but they are cold-blooded hustlers, and utterly deadly to society.
Prof. Williams destroys the first premise of most Leftist agitation.
Women get their nails done more frequently than men.
Are Nail Salons discriminating against Men?.............
Hmm....
Always, especially when Progressives do the statistics and cover them with that nice fudge they love so much.
