Has the greatest mind of the last 30 years finally lost his marbles? Worse, did it happen because he read my book, “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it”?
That is what I wondered immediately after reading one of Thomas Sowell’s latest columns that questioned whether are in the midst of a race war. He cited “White Girl Bleed a Lot” as proof positive of an epidemic of unacknowledged racial violence across the country: more than 500 examples in more than 100 cities. All documented. Many on video.
The first time Sowell wrote about “White Girl Bleed a Lot,” he said he had no idea black mob violence was so widespread until he read my book. That was a year ago. Today, I say I had no idea how pervasive the problem was when Sowell said that.
In his second column about “White Girl Bleed a Lot,” Sowell said: “Initial skirmishes in that race war have already begun, and have in fact been going on for some years. But public officials pretend that it is not happening, and the mainstream media seldom publish it at all, except in ways that conceal what is really taking place. …
“Some of these many attacks are covered in detail in a book titled, ‘White Girl Bleed A Lot’ by Colin Flaherty.”

If I wasn’t hopelessly in love with my wife, I would ask if you were single.
The theoretical answer to that is that slavery itself is irrelevant.
Liberals believe that we live in a white privilege society where black continue to be oppressed to this day. Levelling the playing field isn’t enough, true reconciliation can only take place when whites are made to feel, to experience first hand, what it’s like to be oppressed.
Once we understand that’s the philosophy underlying their actions, we can fully comprehend where their actions are designed to lead us.
Being a member of a minority/protected class, I have a different perspective on the whole “white privilege” thing. It’s not a race thing; it’s a choice thing. And the choice is how you use existing knowledge that is free for the asking. Here is an example.
A group of people are given the task of digging holes in the ground, a task that up to this point had never been done on earth. They are not told how to dig the holes. Some folks use their hands; some folks find that using a stick allows them to dig more efficiently than with just their hands.
Some folks transition to using sticks while others, for whatever reason choose to only use their hands. Later, someone improves on the stick and creates a shovel. Again, some folks take advantage of this new method of digging, while others will not give up their sticks, and still others continue to use their hands.
The formula to dig is out there. It is not hidden, nor is it forbidden to certain groups of people. Given that, here is what I see today.
Success or failure is a choice. Personal responsibility, dedication, hard work, honor, honesty, integrity, education, are the known ingredients for success. It is not a secret, it is not forbidden to anyone, yet there are still people who make the conscious decision to not use the formula, and then cover up their shortcomings by attributing their failure, not to themselves, but to those who took advantage of the knowledge that is already out there and free to anyone who wants to use it.
The real question that no one asks is why there are so many people who pursue activities or lifestyles that are so detrimental to success, and why are these people so monolithic.
If someone doesn’t want success, cool, I have no issue with that. But don’t go blaming someone else for the consequences of your actions or in-actions.
I’ll get off my soap box now.
I refer to it as the “Ambition Gap.”
Correct, and properly addressed, too!
What many fail to realize is the role of “useful idiots” in this conflict. Those trying to bring down individual liberty are merely using the handiest army available: those who have rationalized their own failure into something inflicted upon them from outside. In our country, that just happens to be people who participate in the “black” culture.
But make no mistake, the goal has never been to “make someone ‘feel’...etc.” The goal has always been to subjugate those who possess the freedom to ignore their “betters” wishes.
Article references Sowell.
The only thing that will fix or mitigate this problem is Conservatism. The economy must improve, school vouchers available, creative enforcement measures, family advocacy, evangelism, and years of patience.
Ah, you must have been over in SE Asia in the lat Sixties/early Seventies, then...:)
We also need to make more "constructive" activities punishable by law. It's the only way I know of to short circuit the "advocacy" activities that seek to undermine our laws and justice system.
Further, we need to find a way to prevent women from voting themselves special privilege by elected representative.
309th at Homestead lost 4 F-4’s while I was there. That was Dean Martin Jr’s squadron.
What no mention of the blacks that fought on the side of the South?
Nope, happily married, two children.
Addendum: Marketing and Advertising are technologies. They should not enjoy First Amendment protections.
I would expect no less. Congratulations on a good marriage and for raising two future conservatives.
Thanks. Yes, even at 16 & 19, they are both very conservative.
Congratulations, you have won tonight's trifecta, your grand prize, a level-III Tac Vest, should soon be winging it's way to your house...Then again maybe not.
Regards,

PS Just kidding about the vest. But I have the feeling that we all may be acquiring them soon.
Ours is 18 and more conservative than liberal, but as a freshman in college, I am just hoping that the the things learned at home took.
I feel confident for you the foundation from home will stick. Ours is a sophomore, Chemical Eng. major, female, and she is VERY conservative. I saw a “study” for what it’s worth, a dime a dozen, last week that her university was #1 Conservative campus in the USA. Auburn. War Eagle. :)
I spent about 1.5 years in that part of the country, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida pan-handle, while in the service. Love that part of the country. As to college, we’re talking southern California, so my work’s cut out for me. LOL!
What a chilling, yet credible thought....
