Right, I get that Sowell doesn’t kowtow to liberal shibboleths (which is why I appreciate him so much). It seems as though he is nudging at something just below the surface here though and that is exactly why it bothered me.
If there is a disparity in income (perceived or real) - all other things being equal, it must come from somewhere. If blacks are underrepresented, then there is a reason other than just high prices. Otherwise affluent blacks (there must be a few somewhere in CA) would have no trouble affording the same costs as a white person or other race. Unless there is a massive functional conspiracy other than that mentioned (because the premise Sowell posits just doesn’t explain it otherwise).

I see what you mean. But then, what rich blacks, married with kids, would want to live in the Bay Area?
Who but a white libtard or a sodomite of any race would want to live in the Bay Area?
Have you read Race and Culture (1994); Migrations and Culture (1996); and Conquests and Cultures (1998)?
