Orlando Patterson is a Non-PC liberal. That makes him a good academic in my book. He's not afraid to follow the evidence to results that don't jibe with the conventional wisdom or that conforms to the dictates of political correctness.

Patterson is black, but he is from Jamaica, and he received a rigorous education in the late 50's and early 60's before the universites went nuts. He observed firsthand the differential success of West Indian blacks and American-born blacks in America, which "racism" fails to explain.
