I can never figure out if Walter E. Williams is the smartest man in the world or if it's Thomas Sowell, but I'm pretty convinced it's one of the two. I particularly enjoy Williams' columns, and he is my favorite of Rush fill-ins.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Bump for a good read.

[Serb5150]

Good read.

[Dustbunny]

I can truly say that I love to hear and read comments made by Walter E. Williams. His common sense and logic hits the nail right on the head every time and does so with so very few words.

[sauropod]

Sure is a marked contrast to Michael Eric Dyson (who has a new book out trashing Cosby's comments).

Dyson is slated to do a book interview on C-SPAM2 Sunday at 9 pm.

Black by popular demand ping.

Best advice I ever heard was from Ed Beckley, one of the original TV real estate hucksters. He said, "If you don't want to be poor, go out and look at what the poor people do. Then don't do it! it's so simple!"

Is it racial discrimination that stops black students from studying and completing high school? Is it racial discrimination that's responsible for the 68 percent illegitimacy rate among blacks?

YES it is Walter! Those people hate whites so much that they refuse to "play the game" and act white in any way. Even to the point of refusing to pull up their pants or get out of the street when those white people are trying to get to work. Black racism is what prevents them from getting married, getting jobs, fathering their children or simply being satisfied with a few beers on weekends rather than crack.

Common Sense has been outlawed by Congress.

First, graduate from high school.

Damn.

Second, get married before you have children, and stay married.

Damn.

Third, work at any kind of job, even one that starts out paying the minimum wage.

Damn.

And, finally, avoid engaging in criminal behavior.

Damn.

I'm screwed.

bump for later

This chart generally supports what the good Dr. has to say. This is before welfare reform, so it is likely the results have equalized further. A much higher precentage of black single females were on welfare than white single females and that is the main reason for the disparity.

Excuse me Mr. Williams but "Bill Cosby had the courage to speak out against individual irresponsibility." should have read, "Bill Cosby had the courage to speak out for individual irresponsibility.

We know what you meant though.

bump

[RichInOC]

When I grow up, I want to be Walter Williams. Which, considering I'm white, would be a pretty neat trick.

[anniegetyourgun]

OMG.....it's it amazing how common sense can be so uncommon these days?

[k2blader]

Walter E. Williams bump!

This man gets it. :-)

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

Bump. Great read.

[raivyn]

I love Walter E. Williams!
