Thomas Sowell, age 93, is the Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow on Public Policy at the Hoover Institution.

With his usual fierceness and feistiness intact, Dr. Sowell returns to Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson to discuss his latest book (he’s published over 40 titles over his career), Social Justice Fallacies.

In this wide-ranging interview, Dr. Sowell discusses the consequences of our society’s embarking on a quest for equality at the expense of merit. Even if every group in society is given an equal chance, he explains, these groups will end up with disparate levels of income or education.

Dr. Sowell also criticizes the concept of systemic racism; his research reveals it doesn’t appear to apply to blacks (watch the interview to see why that word isn’t capitalized here) who are married.

The interview concludes with Dr. Sowell reading a moving passage from his book.

I see local mentions of Mex like this regularly but this guy seems particularly prolific.

Ahhh well.The good news(for Sowell)is he has all his negro brains.Compare him to Biden to identify the difference between a cognizant individual and one with dementia.Sowell may live to 100.But many blacks talk a good game of b.s.--many of them lowlife street scum--so fast talking at any age,can also indicate an aptitude to scam.

I listened to him compare European immigrants in the early 1900s to mex immigrants today.His premise being that ethnic groups can improve their IQs over time--even blacks(lol)and mex(equally loud laugh)--ignoring the fact that White's IQ is higher from the getgo,a key reason for any potential improvement.

So is Sowell proclaiming blacks and Mex would be as intelligent as Whites and Asians--given enough time(centuries?).

Unprovable.

More likely,Whites get killed by the lower IQ types out of jealousy and fear.

What does Sowell know anyways?He's a negro trying to walk a fine line between being pro-black and anti-affirmative action.

The question is:Does he believe his own verbiage?

The "fallout" of Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner's remarks on black, women musicians
September 18, 20235:33 PM ET
Heard on All Things Considered

GRA:The crux of the story is,"Rolling Stone " founder Jann Wenner wrote a book about the masters of rock and roll.He did not include women like Joni Mitchell or black singers.NPR,interviewed a black--Eric Deegans--who assailed Wenner and offered his solution:

DEGGANS: Well, in my perfect world, the publishers would make him go back and include women and people of color. Frankly, they never should have OK'd the book in the first place the way it is. At least now, everybody knows exactly why it is the way it is, and they can judge Wenner's legacy accordingly.

GRA:Wenner writes a book and is condemned for it's content.Does Wenner have the right to decide what he considers appropriate material for his subject matter?According to NPR,social media and Eric Deegans(who?),the answer is no.

More attempted censorship.By the way,Wenner apologized for the way he described his reasoning for writing about White male rockers ONLY--not the book itself.
