AKA “How smart people think”.

Except these particular smart people apparently get caught up on issues of causation and correlation.

Almost 25 percent of Nigerian households make over $100,000 a year" in America, the authors point out, compared to just 11 percent of black American households.

After retiring, I worked for awhile in a retail establishment. The African blacks were in every way more prosperous, polite and all-around better class of customer. Many had their own businesses. If an American black person manhandling the merchandise or putting it on the floor whined to me about how racist I was to ask her to bring it to the counter to examine it, the African blacks would scold her.

My friends from Kenya say that Christianity is still taught in schools there. They are appalled at the gay agenda here, and that taxpayer money is used to push it in Africa.

Those in the media, in politics and in academia who seem determined to blame American society for individuals and groups who do not rise would be hard-pressed to explain why immigrants of various colors come in at the bottom and proceed to rise, both in the schools and in the economy — on both sides of the Atlantic.

It's those very people who are complaining, the media, in politics and in academia who are creating this illusion of a barrier for their own benefit.

Not interested in Sowell anymore since his recent case of GOP-E-itis.

Thanks for posting, again TS hits out of the park.

...superiority complex, insecurity and impulse control.

My brother worked as an volunteer in a state prison and these were the traits that defeated these men again and again, the inability of self control and an attitude of I can't do it...

I have recently found a new-to-me guru- http://dianawest.net/.

Her recent book apparently stirred up a great sh!tstorm in certain lefty circles. (American Betrayal- The Secret Assault On Our Nation’s Character. Just starting the book).

Is this the book where they report that the standardized test was invented in China in the seventh century?

[Rockitz]

This kinda upsets the apple cart for those who consider themselves victims. I’m sure the author has been declared a racist by the dopey masses on the Left by now.

My 6th grader granddaughter suffered some problems in her math scores, due to changing schools. So, her parents sent her to "Mathnasium", a tutoring program. The programm (at $200/mo) is FILLED with Asian and Indian students who are NOT having trouble with their scores -- their kids go there for FUN!
