Who would have thought that Donald Trump, of all people, would be addressing the fact that the black community suffers the most from a breakdown of law and order?

Who would have thought

Probably not George Will, Charles Krauthammer, or Token Sowell, but lots of normal people with common sense.

Wow. In the Special Hate-Trump Issue of National Review, Sowell was saying that Trump’s rallies reminded him of the rallies of a certain politician in Germany in the 1930’s.

Sowell has warmed a bit.

Dr. Sowell is late to the party, but perhaps a light bulb is beginning to flicker, ie, we are all Americans and we are all in this together.

It's long past time for dividing us up and is now the time to come together as Americans.

The only one talking like this is Trump. Get on board Dr. Sowell; late is better than never.

Education is an issue with little, if any, down side for the Republicans, because the teachers’ unions are the single biggest obstacle to black youngsters getting a decent education — and among the biggest donors to the Democrats.

I often think this myself. I wonder why more Republican candidates and office-holders don't take up this point.

Maybe it's because, at the local (county, state) level, so many voters of both parties have such an investment in the government school status quo. The jobs, the sports, the clubs, the administration, the contracting ... they've got tentacles into everything, and an alternative is hard to envision.

Trump has more ‘common sense’ in his little finger than all the politicians put together. Many are just coming to recognize that fact. The common man has always known the points Trump is making and it is so refreshing to see the unvarnished truth being spoken for a change.

——Just an erosion of the Democrats’ monopoly of the black votes can benefit——

eroding the margin does two things. marginal attrition takes away hillary’s votes and then in a similar manner adds to the Trump total.

This marginal attrition could be very critical in the cities where the black vote is concentrated

Rather than a $15 minimum wage, the cry should be for a 15% Trump black vote

Totally uncalled for and a disgusting display of ignorance.

Brilliant, great thinker my ass!

Thomas Sowell used to rock!

And I’m glad he begins to see a side of Trump that he was unable to see before.

OF COURSE Trump wants to improve black lives. He wants to improve ALL American lives. I knew that the moment he called for the muslim ban.

Perhaps Sowell ought to reevaluate his own contribution to the black community. Personally, I am done with the pundits pontificating what every one else should be doing or should have done. Public education has become churches of liberal indoctrination and nobody is held to account for the results.

a big unanswered question

This election is not about Liberal and Conservative policies or Democratic and Republican Party politics. If it were then Thomas Sowell's observations would be relevant but this election is about so much more.

Used to appreciate Thomas Sowell's writings.

I really like Thomas Sowell and have been surprised at how negative he’s been on Trump.

But Sowell is from academia. Isn’t it funny how he can recognize the free market as the engine of the economy and yet view a successful businessman as incompetent?

Deep down, perhaps Mr. Sowell is anointed.

This is Sowell’s second article commenting on Trump’s West Bend (and later) speech.

His first article didn’t go well, so this is the second try.
