"If you believe that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have had you labelled a radical 50 years ago, a liberal 25 years ago and a racist today." - Thomas Sowell, quoted in the Week.

Very true in our little country. I'm a New Zealand European and very definitely the wrong skin colour.:angry

1477588 2021-06-04 04:14:00 Thomas Sowell, quoted



Sowell thinks that systemic racism is an untested, questionable hypothesis that is a piece of propaganda pushed on the American people. Sowell has said that "it really has no meaning that can be specified and tested in the way that one tests hypotheses" and "it's one of many words that I don't think even the people who use it have any clear idea what they're saying". He has argued that it is a propaganda tactic akin to those used by Joseph Goebbels because it comes with an attitude that it must be "repeated long enough and loud enough" until it is believed and people "cave in" to it.

A dark skinned Marxist apparently.
