To anyone who tells me that racism against the Negro is the problem, I simply respond with a reference to Mr Thos. Sowell.
Face it—he’s a black man who grew up at *the peak* of Jim Crow and segregation.
Forget MLK, who, at the end of the day, was a Communist race-agitator, the inspiration for modern race-agitators like Al Sharpton & al.
Sowell started out at the bottom, like most black men did in his time, but he didn’t let the racism get to him, and consume his very soul.
I think he, and others like him, ought to be the role models for Negroes today.

MLK had some legitimate gripes (and many non-blacks agreed with him); Jim Crow laws were unacceptable and immoral. Today’s “black leaders” have no such gripes; they have excuses and outstretched palms.
Sowell (and others) persevered despite the oppression; today many see no reason to even try (they are kept comfortable without ever having to do so). If they were living in sharecropper shacks and going hungry, they’d be the most industrious students and workers.
The facts are that EVERY black man and woman who work at honest jobs give THE BIG LIE to this racist screed!
I’m not going to quote the numbers, but check this website out: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t02.htm
The blacks who want to work have jobs!
