    Seems that you only like reading things that reaffirm your narrow world-view. I’m a liberal in many respects including a woman’s right to choose up to the time of birth. It is not an offense to read from different voices that might give clout to a viewpoint that you don’t necessarily support, just to see what evidence can be provided. Especially when the individual is so well accomplished and his sources are solid and well referenced. It’s not like I’m saying to read Robert Kennedy’s book, which has been thoroughly disproven.

            Well. You called me liberal except with black people, so I assume you are implying that I am against giving black people special treatment in socialized systems as if they have some form of disability that requires a different approach than normal poor people in order to be provide them “equitable” treatment.

              Nope. I’m implying that you think black people are stupider than white people. Because that’s what you were arguing.

                Not by genetics, but by liberals attempting to give them back their culture and having them decide that it was the culture of the lazy, uneducated, southern white. That is what Sowell concluded with references from scholarly sources.
