      Before you discard my opinions, as gen-Z likes to do, I’d recommend reading Black Rednecks and White Liberals.

        No thanks, I don’t think I’ll read a Thomas Sowell book just so you can justify your bigotry by saying “see? A black guy wrote it.” I’m sure you defend Clarence Thomas the same way.

          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.

            “I’m a liberal in many respects, except when it comes to black people.” Got it.

                  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.
