If they don't like hearing facts like "blacks make up 13% of the population and commit over 50% of the murders" then liberals definitely are going to hate this.

Corresponding to the above article, once again comments from Sowell, who is, imho, probably among the most powerful American thinkers of this age. He tears liberals a new one tbh.

He also speaks so well.

No mention of either drug proliferation in housing projects or collapse of manual industries lowering average pay as employment moved towards lower paid service economies.

These issues also follow the same timeline in many areas.

Wouldn't that be semi-alluded here, as Sowell points out:

Wouldn't that affect people of all races in the US either way?

Moreover, it's a part of a larger response from Sowell's column.



TBH the facts that Sowell provides on black poverty rate or black families (majorty of single-parent black households in the 30 years of liberal policies compared to vast majority of whole families in the 100 years after the end of slavery) are staggering.

White people took slaves from Africa for THEIR benefit. The africans were already slaves, as it is a part of African culture and slavery still exists in Africa today.

In America, they learnt how to pick cotton, grow tobacco, fry chicken, etc. Things they would have NEVER learned had it not been for white people. Even after slavery was abolished, they were able to live in beautiful cities like New York, Detroit, Chicago, Columbus etc.

They should be grateful of slavery.

Am all against blacks these days living in the past by screaming race and slavery everything seconds, but what you wrote was really idiotic.

No race should feel grateful for being deem lower than trash.
