I always loved his sense of humor about pretty much everything, particularly the way he would bait young feminist types when he subbed for Rush.

RIP

And freaking Soros keeps on breathing. I’m guessing even the devil doesn’t want the SOB.

A nice guy but too free trade globalist for my taste.

That is indeed devastatingly bad news. Very few great economists left...

One of the smartest men I ever read. R.I.P. sir, you will be sore missed.

He was one of the few who could be called an icon.

Prayers up for his family. R.I.P.

What’s with all you people saying nice things about Walter Williams? Have you all forgotten that we’re ALL just a bunch of racists in here??

Oh wait... We like black people who support freedom and economic liberty. I forgot. My bad.

RIP Mr. Williams.

You brought a perspective that was fresh and very much appreciated. You challenged the status quo and encourage us to THINK for ourselves. You planted the seeds of liberty in many new minds. THANK YOU!

A very unfortunate loss. He was a lion and one of our finest intellects combined with common sense. A great American.

So far the year 2020 has sucked big time.

RIP Mr. Williams. Thanks for the uncommon sense.

No No No.....I don’t want to hear that. And Herman Cain died just 5 months ago... Boy - if the grim reaper is making the rounds in this country, wish he’d make more stops in Congress...I believe Walter Williams’ wife died a few years ago. Always loved hearing him and enjoyed his sense of humor filling in for Rush. I’ll have to make a point to listen to him today but the Atlanta station has a woman with such a horrible voice doing the news, I can only stand about 10 minutes of his show.

I see we have at least a couple of threads on his passing. So I’ll just repeat what I wrote on another thread:

He was one of my favorite columnists. He was 100% right in emphasizing (actually demonstrating and proving) that minimum-wage laws reduce the employment of minimum wage workers, particularly teenagers and especially black teenagers.

Historically, the minimum wage law got its start as a way to prevent southern black highway construction crews from underbidding northern white unionized crews. The minimum wage is just another anti-black law that Democrats passed.

The minimum wage law remains popular because of its name. It sounds like it raises wages, when in fact it merely outlaws jobs. It’s a little like outlawing Fs, Ds and Cs in school so as to raise GPAs.

Walter Williams offered both common and uncommon sense on a variety of topics.

Walter, thank you.

And your wives, who “let you.”

I read his auto-biography, “Up from the Projects”. He has always been an entertaining author, offering humor and wisdom together.

Well, on the good side, at least Walter will not have to watch America devolve to a communist nation of extreme tyranny.

I guess GOD needed his voice on HIS EIB network... (A reference one of Rush's guest host, one of the best).

Wonder if Rush will talk about him today. I remember when he was hosting Rush's show, he talked about buying a vacuum cleaner fora Christmas present. A feminist called to complain...
