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.

Why should black poor people get more special treatment than poor people of other cultures?

I don't remember anyone saying that.

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.

"I'm really liberal except when I blame liberals for making black people culturally stupid." I see.

That’s fairly accurate.

What confuses me so much is why bigots like you don't just own it and come right out and call black culture inferior to white culture. Instead, you couch it in language like "ghetto." Just say black when you mean black. You're fooling no one and you're not lessening the bigotry of your claims.

Did you actually have anything to refute about my direct claims or are you only resorting to ad hominem at this point?

Your direct claims were unsupported by any evidence aside from you expecting me to read an entire book by a far right, self-hating black man. There were Jews that supported Hitler too. That didn't make their claims correct. Furthermore, I would never suggest someone read an entire book in order to find out whether or not my claims are accurate. That's silly and unreasonable.
