Love Mr. Sowell!

Equality isn't a foolish goal or worthless goal. Sowell is merely disputing that the state coercion is the best way to achieve equality. He advocates voluntary action by individuals in a free market.

@Chaicoffski never could prove his case with facts ! only with theoratical none sense just like those that follow him.

This man is a great thinker of our time. How precious that we have someone like him to speak some sanity unlike morons who perpetuate hate like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. What a contrast in class and intelligence.

@PakiPride51 Wow, you really did miss it. He points out that before affirmative action took hold, he got respect for his achievements as a black man, because everyone said "If this guy is black and he can do this he must really be something." After affirmative action people became condescending to him thinking that he was inferior to other professionals because they assumed he was a beneficiary of affirmative action and not truly qualified.

Whattttt, I don't get his argument - a kid comes up to him and asks him to clarify something in his textbook, and that leads him to say, "see this is what affrimative action has done to us" ? I don't get it...

Affrimative action isnt a leg up its simply fighting job discrimination that is rampant everywhere in this country.

What a great mind!
It is the racists who disparage his intelligence because they dislike a black man with a philosophy that articulately counters theirs.

Affirmative action is coat given to a cold child in winter,it is now summer, the child is now a man & he is still wearing the coat he was given as a child. He is told he still needs to wear the coat in the summer even though he doesn't need it anymore.The coat is too small, its hot & no longer serves its purpose, however,the man is told if he removes the coat he will be cold again. The man has bought into this ideology & believes he owes his loyalty to the coat maker. I want to remove that coat!
