Thomas Sowell Is Supposed to Be an Economist, Right?

So fighting white supremacy is hustle ?

There is no money in fighting racism. The money is for black people parrot white supremacist talking points. So if you are a black person ? And you talk about black crime, Chicago,black single mothers, black ghetto. Basically if you say things that let white supremacists off the hook and pin everything on black people ?

White people will make sure you are well fed. You'll have the house, car, the money, the show. They will love you.
With all due respect, Paul..."fighting racism" is a cottage industry for people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton! They've made millions pretending to champion the black man against "systemic racism" in America! Do you really think either of them cares about the average black man on the street other than as a means to an end? To be honest...I find you to be rather naive.
 
The book, "Republicans and The Black Vote" details the relationship between blacks and the Republican party from the Emancipation Proclamation until at least the 2008 election. It is an indepth study of what republicans have and have not done for black support. Chapter 4 details a strategy by conservatives to find blacks who could counter civil rights leaders.

“Conservative philanthropy-the network of right wing foundations- has had a two sided relationship with black America. On one hand, conservatives have poured millions of dollars into efforts to win over conservative Africa Americans, particularly on issues such as school vouchers, charter schools and gay marriage. On the other hand conservatives have funded think tanks and have supported black and other scholars who produce research that often takes anti-black positions.”

Michael K. Fauntroy

So what we see is that conservatives were trying to create a divide in the black community in order to nullify any additional gains via civil rights. These foundations paid blacks to produce anti black research. During Walter Williams life, he was paid at least 1.9 million in grants by various conservative organizations. Thomas Sowell is another millionaire grant recipient from various conservative foundations. Shelby Steele is another ivory tower black conservative funded by right wing foundations to research and create silly anti-black positions while claiming everything that helped him rise to the place he has is somehow bad, demeaning, unfair and creates a victim mentality on black people. These blacks have done great harm to the black community.
Yeah KKKoonboy Sowell is a walking POS.
 
Sowell miseducated. You are an example.
LOL...really, IM2? I took an Economics class with Sowell. He had a knack for explaining complex theories in ways that even someone like you could understand. I think the country would be much served if Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer all had to read his text on general Economics. As it stands right now all three seem to be blissfully unaware of what causes things like inflation.
 
Yeah KKKoonboy Sowell is a walking POS.

Speaking of your fellow DemoKKKrats, say hi to your governor for me!

I think that is spot on. Sowell has made a career of telling people what they want to hear. One can hardly qualify as an "Economist" while subscribing to the theory of libertarianism. For instance, some cool con artists created a libertarian nation state somewhere in South America. They trumpeted how there would be no government involvement in the markets and suckers gleefully purchased plots of land, They ended up buying the equivalent of swamp land, and lost their asses, because there was no government oversight.

Sowell position on charter schools is a good case in point. He starts out by saying the problem is finding equivalent socioeconomic cohorts to study in public school as opposed to charter schools. But he ignores the fact that charter school students have motivated and involved parents, that is how they got in a charter school. And then he comes to the conclusion that charter schools provide better results. I call bullshit. If those parents would have been involved in a public school, the results would not have been the same, they would have been better.
Did it ever occur to you that the reason those "involved" parents didn't want their children in public schools is because public school education has been awful at educating kids? They're not putting them in charter schools for no reason! Use your head!
 
The Bell Curve is bunk.

Lol! John McWhorter?

Please. He's a linguist. How about, people who have studied sociology, law, public policy, etc?

Try reading:

White Rage, by Carol Anderson
The Black Tax, By Shawn Rochester
The Color of Money, by Mehrsa Baradaran
The Color of Law, by Richard Rothstein
When Affirmative Action was white, by Ira Katznelson
The Sum of Us, by Heather McGee
The Debt, by Randall Robinson

Then come talk. Blacks have always been "woke". Whites have always opposed blacks who were woke and whites have always used black accomodationists to tell other blacks how it's wrong to be woke.
Facts.

Well, I got to ask. Who do you consider a black intellectual? Because here is the thing. I am not seeing much contribution from blacks to the intellectual community. Hell, Spike Lee might be at the top of the list, and that really is not saying much.

And that's because you don’t know many if any black people (at least not those who live in black communities), haven’t spent time yourself in those communities, and don’t read or listen to black media.
Facts!
 
Perhaps CON is the operative term.

Why is it that Sowell never seems to discuss the economic impact of racism on black Americans.

There are a multitude of books out about this, but the darling black "conservative" economist doesn't seem to have written one. You would think with all that conservative grant money he's been paid....

Oh yeah, that's the point, don't write about what really happened, write stuff blaming blacks for failing.


Sowell is a grifter these days Just Randian puke, repackaged.

Because like the rest of us intelligent people, he knows it's bullshit.

Go get vaccinated.
l got vaccinated months ago you dumb ass saltine.

If you don't think there is an economic impacgt to racism, you are not intelligent.
 
Sowell says a lot of things that people do not want to hear. Hence the posting of this delusional OP.

In today's bullshit liberal agenda, parents aren't allowed to have a say in their children's education. The teachers' unions have seen to that. The local school boards and the arrogant unions are demanding that students be indoctrinated with CRT whether the parents like it or not.

Try watching the news.
Sowell says what irresponsible white losers want to hear. CRT isn't taught in schools until college idiot and we've been indoctrinated in our school systems by CWST, Critical White Supremacist Theory which leaves out all accomplishments by others and teaches our children the same lies that keep taking us into unecessary and expensive wars.
 
Because racism is not an intellectual battle. Black people can't reason with white supremacists like you.
If you want to get rid of racism towards Blacks, show Whites positive examples like every other ethnicity has done. Blacks did that in the late fifties and sixties and most whites got behind them and pushed for better conditions and advantages for Blacks in society. The "Greatest Generation" was Black as well as other ethnicities. They moved the ball forward by working, getting educated and being successful in society. All you do is whine and complain that things aren't perfect. If you want things better, get to work and educate Black youth, give them a work ethic instead of telling them that everybody's holding them down.
 
Women who have children got pregnant.

A father figure not being in a house is why black boys turn into street thugs and black girls either have children or abortions.

Sowell is an educator. Economy is just a facet of his expertise.

You would do well to emulate him.
It's not just Black women having children without a father, it's Black GIRLS having babies when they are just children themselves. How much chance does a girl of fifteen or sixteen have with a baby and no father helping to support that baby? Not much of one. The longer you wait to have children the more successful you are in life.

Sure they did..
By lynching, bombing churches and schools, fire hoses, attack dogs, beating protestors and arresting leaders
