Hits the nail on the head.

Great article. There must be many like Sharpton and Jackson who despise Sowell, because he speaks the truth.

[jazusamo]

Please bump the Freepathon and donate if you haven’t done so!

[Hoodat]

The modern plantation owners of the American left ain’t gonna like this.

[jazusamo]

Exactly, Sharpton, Jackson and those like them ignore the fact Dr. Sowell even exists.

[EternalVigilance]

Thomas Sowell sees clearly and honestly.

I would bet the entire farm that liberals who don’t know who Thomas Sowell is will be up at arms because some RACIST angry white ‘teabagger’ wrote this!

They’re pretty ignorant, the lot of them, aren’t they?

Spot on, Mr. Sowell.

In my reading of the Bible, I came to realize how much more humane slavery was than the alternative: killing all your enemies (men, women, children and all their animals, too). The conquerors brought home the spoils of war, which included human chatel. For a lot the people enslaved, their lives were improved because life on most of the planet was pretty harsh. African Americans who travel back to their home continent realize this, just ask Muhammed Ali and others who will tell the truth. I look at the lives of women across the planet today, and I would not trade places with any of them. America - the last hope for freedom on the planet. I sure hope we don’t screw it up.

Thanks for the the ping to the truth from Dr. Sowell once again jaz.

[Oceander]

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

The Life of Reason, Vol. I, Reason in Common Sense, George Santayana

[GeronL]

exactly.

By the way, some free blacks in the old south (Louisiana mostly) owned slaves too. There is a book called “Black Masters” all about that.

[jazusamo]

Excellent points!

The turkey in the White House right now is working hard to screw it up.

[rlmorel]

I guess that explains why I have never heard either one of them even mention his name.

Stout guy, Sowell.

[hstacey]

I love this man!!!

[Billthedrill]

Sowell BTT. Slavery is rampant in Islamic history. It is, after all, where both the Mamluks and Janissaries came from.

I love this guy.

An ancient adage says: "Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.

Matthew 6 verse 34:

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

[tet68]

I never miss reading Thomas Sowell, like Steyn, like VDH
he never misses the mark.
