Once Dr. Sowell has spoken, there’s really very little left to be said.

Letting hoodlums get away with hoodlumism today does not undo a single injustice of the past.

Black hoodlums mostly oppress other blacks. When White Liberals push for letting hoodlums get away with hoodlumism, they are basically punishing black communities. This is, in my opinion, a way of keeping the black man "in his place". Black neighborhoods cannot thrive if they are consumed by lawlessness. Democrats have always been trying to keep black men down. They are doing it still today.

Democrats are, and have always been the festering pustule of racism in America.

It seems that the only way people who are “Racist” can ‘win’ an argument, in by injecting race into the argument.

A person lives in a community, and is a part of the coumminty watch. On his rounds, he is legally armed with a sidearm, which is is authorized to carry. He spies an individual acting ‘unusual’ and proceeds to follow this person, he calls 911 and reports this individual.

He is attacked, has his head pounded against the sidewalk, and uses his sidearm to defend his life, thus killing the attacker.

Those are the basic facts. The fact that the attacker is Black, and the ‘victim’ is hispanic are really unimportant. My view wouldn’t change, no matter what the racial background of the characters were. One person was a champion for good, the other a champion of evil.

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
- Joe Biden

It's a shame Biden doesn't think Sowell is good looking, and Sowell is not interested in personal power. Otherwise, we might have a president who is patriotic and capable as well as "articulate and bright and clean".

“In the same vein were the repeated references to Zimmerman as a “white Hispanic.” Zimmerman is half-white. So is Barack Obama. But does anyone refer to Obama as a “white African”?”

I had exactly the same question. As Mr. Sowells says, the media in this country is so sold out to their world view that truth and justice have taken a back seat. I am very worried for my children and grand children.

It is the plantation and its inhabitants that are racist, Dr. Sowell.

Every one on it, those who run and those who reside on it are the racists of America.

Prayers for a long life for Dr. Sowell!

The Creator blessed him with a superior intellect, as well as an effective ability to share his insights with others.

He truly is a man for this season in the struggle to preserve individual liberty, calling out the tactics of those who would mislead, divide, and gain power over all, in the name of "helping."

Great article.

I'm not a Dr of phsycology. But there are cultural links to be found between the underwhelming minority population in the country and overwhelming prison population. And contrary to NAACP belief, it has little to do with racism.

I would go a step further and suggest that the culture prevalent in the inner city that promotes gangs, street cred, anti-authority and welfare are all residual (if not immediate) symptoms of entitlement mentality because of the “wrong that was done” so many years ago.

There are a lot of proud criminals in jail. Out of ignorance or learned behavior, this is all that was expected out of them. Their cultural leaders are Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Reverend Wright, etc. The only hope they troubled and violent youth stuck in this cycle is that prominent black leaders not only begin to stand up and call it like they see it, but that other socially responsible black leaders support each other and influence the likes of the NAACP, ACLU and democratic party.

I heard someone recently say something to the effect, “You can be fined or imprisoned for feeding the wildlife in Yellowstone National Park because it is bad for the wildlife. It will kill them as they become dependent on hand outs. Yet we actively push and encourage this practice for humans in this country and around the world. It's tragic that we care more about black bears than we do about minorities and the poor.”

[Author Harry Stein] asks a very fundamental question: "Why, even after the Duke University rape fiasco, does the media continue to give credence to every charge of racism?"

Because the Media never held Heimy-town Jackson or Tawana Sharpton accountable for the murder and mayhem they instigated.

Letting hoodlums get away with hoodlumism today does not undo a single injustice of the past. It is not even a favor to the hoodlums, for many of whom hoodlumism is just the first step on a path that leads to the penitentiary, and maybe to the execution chamber.


This is the worst of all liberalism’s attacks on the Black race in the name of Marxist “change.” It severely terrorizes and abuses all people who come in contact with this. It is a well nurtured criminal insanity liberals name black liberation and pride.

Liberals are soul snatchers. Dr. Sowell has served life as a soul-snatcher-backer.

This is the first time I've heard/read that Zimmerman said "Ok" when asked not to follow the person he called 911 about. Un-be-freaking-lievable!

We have freedom of speech, but we don't have the freedom to withhold truth in an effort to create a crisis, stir up tension and division or cause chaos.

I fully expect Zimmerman and that elderly couple to file lawsuits. At what point do we have grounds for a class action suit?

We are all put at risk when our domestic tranquility is deliberately effed with like these corporate news stooges have deliberately done.

It doesn't get more blatant than with this case and there are plenty of specific offenders as well as deep pocket employers of said offenders.

Time to use this opportunity to make an example out of the many offenders and their deep pocketed employers.

They aren't afraid of abusing their fellow Americans with their political propaganda and psyops.

Clearly, it's past time to clear up that misunderstanding.

Now it's time to turn the mob they created against them!

Why was that reply edited out by so many in the media? Because too many people in the media see their role as filtering and slanting the news to fit their own vision of the world. The issue is not one of being "fair" to "both sides" but, more fundamentally, of being honest with their audience.

NBC News carried the editing even further, removing one of the police dispatcher's questions, to which Zimmerman was responding, in order to feed the vision of Zimmerman as a racist.

NBC News has more in common with racist whites of the old south than they might know... Old time racists would lie about blacks to justify horrible treatment of them... Modern day 'journalists' do the same - but to a different 'color'. Same hate, same justifications -same evil - they've switched the color of their victims.

It's as if the Germans started putting the French in concentration camps and ovens and couldn't understand why they weren't getting 'credit' for not killing Jews.

It's horrible.

Just as bad as it used to be... Shame on NBC - shame on the MSM ... they're no different = just changed the color of their stripes - color of their victims.

White-africans, that may be the key.
Most blacks in this country have some white DNA. It's very likely that the source of the DNA is the long ago slave owner. So if they are the victim they are also the victimizer.

I would actually disagree with the notion that there isn’t evidence that Zimmerman cut off pursuit at his ‘OK.’

After this statement his labored breathing begins to subside and more definitely the sounds of wind whipping into his phone speaker stop on the non-emergency call tape.

In face he spends at least another minute speaking to the dispatcher.. Giving out his home address and present location.

If the incident actually happened 70 yards from Trayvon’s destination... It was plenty time for a fit teenager to walk home... Much less run.
