Yeah, making money knows NO color.

It makes sense that GOVERNMENT created racism.

Well racism is ultimately just one form of rent-seeking.

Just like government, and unions and burglary and pretty much any other activity which seeks to gain something for nothing through either force or fraud.

Yes, indeed;
An interesting read.

One thing I would like to know:
The other day there was a post saying that Miss Parks wasn't the 'hero' I thought she was.... That she was an employee of a civil rights group and the whole thing was a staged event by the organization from the beginning.

I hope that is not true, but I'd like to know for sure.

Anybody have real knowledge about this?

It makes sense that GOVERNMENT created racism.

And it continues to fight it by devising new schemes restoring racial preferences in public universities.

I don't think it's correct to say that Government created racism. But racists certainly used Government to promote their evil intentions.

Sowell's insight here is wonderful. We lose track of history and of the driving forces behind it when we listen only to the media. Both the state legislature and the courts were used to promote injustice. The saga continues in other areas today.

Socialists want the Government to run everything, with the idea that that is going to remove injustice. It will only empower injustice. Free market economic forces would have prevented the discrimination on the buses.
