Thomas Sowell has another new book coming, sure to be dismissed quickly because of its politically incorrect views, Black Rednecks And White Liberals: And Other Cultural And Ethnic Issues
I once sent him an email and received a timely, personal, and gracious reply. I'm a big fan!
He was on CSPAN last night. To the question, "What's the difference between a white redneck and a black redneck?" his quick answer, "Color!" Without embarrassment the interviewer followed up within a couple minutes, "What's the difference between a black liberal and a white liberal?" Again, "Color!"
Not too many are so willing to state the obvious; intellectuals generally shun it. But that is the main thesis in many of his books. He is determined to present facts, and asserts that is one of the major challenges of the day. Unfriendly facts are too readily beaten down.
