No he doesn't. It is more like Sowell is the right-wing mascot. They bring him up and say, see we have one Black that agrees with some of our opinions so we can't be racist. Or can they? What Sowell ignores is the opinion of the Black community and he only thinks white liberal's opinions are relevant. Do Blacks want to get jobs and educational opportunities that they have been traditionally barred from? Do Blacks want equal sentencing and bail relief? Do Blacks want urban renewal? Are they mascots of themselves? He seems to believe giving a leg up is doomed to failure. Tell that to Barack and Michelle, Harvard law school graduates.
No, not really. Sowell is an idiot financed by the right. He has been paid at least 250,000 by the Bradley Foundation to write his nonsense. Edina has nailed it perfectly.
Thomas Sowell is a black man who once claimed that a race war had begun against whites by blacks. Thomas Sowell is responsible for making life more dangerous for black people in America. The racist subculture uses his irresponsible rhetoric as high-level intellectual thought. One can criticize liberals all they want about policies, but when you are black and suggest to whites how blacks are starting a race war with them, you invite problems that no one black should be facing. When you know that your audience consists of white right-wing extremists and you state how they are under attack from blacks and the media hides it, you invite and should be held criminally responsible for the hate crimes you have created. “More dangerous than these highly publicized episodes over the years are innumerable organized and unprovoked physical attacks on whites by young black gangs in shopping malls, on beaches, and in other public places all across the country today. While some of these attacks make it into the media as isolated incidents, the nationwide pattern of organized black-on-white attacks by thugs remains invisible in the mainstream media, with the notable exception of Bill O’Reilly on the Fox News Channel.” -Thomas Sowell, 2013 I remembered those words as I was watching the funeral for Rev. Clementa Pinckney. As I watched the televised funeral, I wondered if Dylan Roof read Sowell’s words and did those words validate Roof’s feelings of how he needed to do something to end the scourge of black attacks against whites in Sowell’s race war. The elevation of blacks like Sowell into thought leadership has been detrimental to the overall improvement of blacks in America. Furthermore, his opposition to the government solving the problem government made for blacks just doesn’t make sense. He ignores almost 200 years of whites exclusively getting government assistance in his analysis. Sowell has schlepped his way into wealth because white right-wing extremists suck up his message only because it validates their racial views.
