Third Sowell meme.

Third Sowell meme. | CLEARLY, THE ABILITY TO SCORE IDEOLOGICAL POINTS AGAINST AMERICAN SOCIETY OR WESTERN CIVILIZATION, OR TO INDUCE GUILT AND THEREBY EXTRACT BENEFITS FROM; THE WHITE POPULATION TODAY, ARE GREATLY ENHANCED BY MAKING ENSLAVEMENT APPEAR TO BE A PECULIARLY AMERICAN, OR A PECULIARLY WHITE, CRIME.

At the country’s top universities, there is no racial “mismatch.”

At the country’s top universities, there is no racial “mismatch.” | I HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGED TO LOOK INTO THE IDEAS OF THOMAS SOWELL, A CONSERVATIVE SOCIAL THEORIST/ECONOMIST. ONE OF THE FIRST IDEAS OF HIS I ENCOUNTERED WAS THE “MISMATCH” THEORY: THAT RACE-BASED AFFIRMATIVE ACTION HURTS MINORITIES BY SETTING THEM UP TO FAIL. IT IS A LOGICAL NARRATIVE. BUT, AT LEAST AS APPLIED TO THE COUNTRY’S TOP INSTITUTIONS LIKE HARVARD AND YALE, IT TURNS OUT TO BE COMPLETELY CONTRADICTED BY THE EVIDENCE. RACIAL MINORITIES, WHETHER ASSISTED BY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION OR NOT, GRADUATE FROM THE COUNTRY’S TOP UNIVERSITIES AT THE SAME RATES AS WHITES OR SOMETIMES EVEN HIGHER. | image tagged in thomas sowell,social justice,affirmative action,race,university,philosophy | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

How interesting that he wrote this prior to 2020.

How interesting that he wrote this prior to 2020. | In some white liberal circles...the police are almost automatically at fault in confrontations with black criminals, hoodlums, or rioters. When the police arrive on a scene of crime or violence in black communities, whatever they do is likely to be categorized later as either having let the situation get out of hand or as having used excessive force. Any force sufficient to prevent the situation from getting out of hand is almost certain to be called excessive force by white liberals in the media, so that—by definition—the police will have acted badly, no matter what they did or failed to do.
