I used to have a lot of respect for Thomas Sowell, in fact I have some of his books. This article sounds like he is just another Yankee that hates anything Southern and blames
Southerners for all the woes of blacks. Doesen't sound like much of a conservative to me any more!

Translation: "It's okay for Southern whites [which I am, btw] to behave like ghetto Blacks because that is their quaint culture; but Blacks who behave like rednecks are leftist enemies of all that is good and pure in the world."

Somebody sounds like a liberal here, but it ain't Mr. Sowell.

I didn't pick any of that up in this article. But if you have read many of his books, maybe you should give him the benefit of the doubt and read the book before you settle on that conclusion. Just my opinion.

There is some substance to what he says, but also a lot of nonesense here.

Southerners in general, tend to be far more polite and more conventional in their behavior than many northerners.
They certainly are far more religious, patriotic and traditional.
