The question is, what makes his race relevant? Why did Charlite include his picture in her post? Why are we even talking about this? Because Sowell's picture stimulated Old Professor to reference his race instead of his remarks.

Take it easy. There is no need to act like a liberal and go off half cocked accusing folks of being racists. Sowell is a great thinker and the Old Professor was giving him his due props.

Most freepers know Dr. Sowell and are big fans of his. None of us is ignorant of his race, in fact we thrill in it as he exposes as frauds any who lean on it as a crutch. We fully appreciate his friend Walter Williams also. Any mention of this by Old Professor only serves to tell us that he is white.

No need to get hypersensitive about something the rest of us are way ahead of you on.

Anyway, Old Professor forgets that the further back we go the more consanguinity we all have.
