A society that puts equality—in the sense of equality of outcome—ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom. The use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom, and the force, introduced for good purposes, will end up in the hands of people who use it to promote their own interests. - Thomas Sowell
Thomas Sowell has one foot in the grave---a model meritorious transmission negro relic. They created the meritorious manumission act in Virginia in 1710 to better/manage black slaves. Slaves were rewarded with freedom and monuments for saving Massas's life, inventing something that increased Massa's' wealth, and snitching on other slaves who planned escapes and rebellions. People who saved Massa's life, invented something that increased Massa's wealth, and snitched on other slaves who planned escapes and rebellions, have monuments commemorating them. We still have numerous meritorious manumission Negroes today, with Clarence Thomas at the top of the list---the most conservative in SCOTUS. There's talk in Georgia by conservative whites to create a monument in honoring him. He recently wrote a scathing 50-page dissent against a majority ruling that didn't gut the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Mississippi wanted to gerrymander a dominant black area in Mississippi, diluting black representation. I live in the Deep South and white ultra-conservatives are on steroids in destroying black political power (self-determination) through white-dominant legislation (e.g., the ability to replace black district attorneys, judges, etc. who go against the grain of ultra-white right-wing-supremacist policies).
"a model meritorious transmission negro relic"? His work is being read more and more and gathering stronger following in both black and white society. Put his ideology and intellect vs the left's torch bearer Kendi and it's no contest.
Black conservatism is as old as black enslavement, which has caused economic devastation for Blacks. Black conservatives represent a potential danger to their race because of their alignment with white conservatives, who have always been anti-black. When black-white conservative alignments occur, black conservatives become a liability to black and an asset to whites.
Black conservatives who place their personal advancements above the welfare of their race often gain significant benefits, recognition, approval, and access to power. They’re anointed by whites as leaders and touted as role models. Politically/socially, a black conservative is closely akin to ‘Sambo’ in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom's Cabin. Sambo was black America's worst nightmare. Sambo represents the extraordinary success of social control, which was the ultimate goal of a slavery conditioning process of social control that transplanted a white mindset into a black personality.
Modern conservatism ascension started in the late 60s as a white backlash to the Civil Rights Movement, which demanded improved living conditions, including more wealth and community control. This frightened/shocked white man (“we can let them Negroes have some autonomy and self-determination…we'll lose control.”). Anyway, the private class appealed to conservatism to reassert the supremacy of white authority and its exclusive claim to power and wealth (makes me think of the time when Senator Goldwater ran for the presidency in which he was against the Civil Rights act).
I don't support Kendis' work. Begging whites for affirmation is silly. I'm pro-black--- increasing black economic aggregation and power. Social integration doesn't translate into a monetary value that can be deposited into a bank. Blacks spending 98% of their dollars on non-black businesses doesn't generate enough black wealth and power. I and a number of other black individuals travel down a road less traveled.
Clarence Thomas certainly loves Ginny, the woman who worked for the racist John Birch Society Imagine me in bed with a woman who worked for the ku klux klan and supported a rightwing coup to overthrow democracy. Hating whitey? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I used to rescue wannabe proud boys from Aryan Brotherhood prison gang rape during my 34 years working in the prison industrial complex back in California. I even went out of my way to help dumb white boys resolve their gambling debts vs being shanked to death. Momma would call me and say, "Thank you, lord Jesus." You should commend me for my black humanity.
My grandfather was half Scots-Irish and my daughter-is-law is white. Whites are regularly in and out of my home, especially some "Redneck Revolt" members (anti-fascist). 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Conservatives tell Blacks to pull themselves up by their bootstraps then sue a venture capital firms that aims to do just that. Conservatives have no moral authority to chastise anyone.
Here is a classic Sowell strawman argument
Sowell is an inveterate trafficker in straw man arguments and in slippery logic, so it really doesn’t matter that he “refers to rigorous research” if he misuses it to bolster his position instead of rational conclusions. His columns often impute the worst motives to Democrats and progressives instead of the most logical.
Here is a perfect example, in which Sowell warns against the consequences of “allowing” two Democratic senators to be elected from Georgia:
In this essay, we find two glaring examples of false logic. The first is his creation of a slippery little straw man by implication, when he writes:
Senate Democrats’ leader, Senator Charles Schumer, has already announced what he has in store, if the Democrats get a majority in the Senate. So has President-elect Joe Biden. And it goes way beyond specific policies. It includes institutional changes that can be permanent, and almost guarantee one-party rule in this country, as far out as the eye can see.
If more than 10 million people who are in this country illegally are given the right to vote — and most of those votes are almost certain to go to Democrats — that is a major new political reality that will be with us for generations.
Did you notice the little sleight of hand? Sowell says that Schumer and Biden have said what they “have in store” for the country—but doesn’t bother to quote anything they have said. Then he makes a declarative statement about illegal immigrants voting that has no connection to the previous paragraph, except by innuendo.

BTW, in Washington’s time, pulling your self up by your bootstraps was a joke. It was a physical impossibility.
