Sowell is the centerpiece of every argument ever made by or with a black liberal. His personal story and his fantastic literary style make for fascinating and thoughtful reads. I have immense and abounding respect for blacks in this country, for their stories and how far they’ve come in the 200+ years in this country. Recent cultural and social shifts in the black communities have turned back the clocks and made many whites leery of not only their safety but their personal understanding of “blackness” in America.
Thomas Sowell is the bright, shiny example of what it means to be a successful American, let alone a man of color. I am proud to call him a countryman, and I hope that legions of black men and women follow in his footsteps in the near future. We need men and women of all races to embrace what it means to be conservative in America.
Well said.
