Thomas Sowell and <i>Ebony</i> — 15 Comments

  1. I read his book, “Basic Economics, Fourth Edition: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy,” just out of curiosity, not expecting it would completely upend the way I thought about how the economy works.

    Previously I had no idea about what socialism, communism, capitalism, free markets, Marxism, liberalism, conservatism, etc actually meant economically and politically.

    I took for granted liberal ideas of the goodness of socialism and the evilness of capitalism because I’m kind hearted and that’s all I was ever exposed to. I’m still kindhearted, so now am appalled by leftist economic views.

  2. It’s unfortunate that the Left operates that way, successful Blacks are ignored except those who succeed in athletics and music. They are just too obvious to ignore.

  3. This is the same tactic the Left is now using on college campuses nationwide. Refuse to let other ideas be heard.

    If, by some sort of miracle, a conservative viewpoint is expressed at a movie screening or lecture, shout at the screen or at the invitee.

    And if that doesn’t work use violence to ensure the other viewpoint cannot be heard.

    Leftist ideas die in the sunlight. They can only flourish in the dark. So an embargo or boycott on freedom is required to keep the paroles in place.

  4. There is no violence like horizontal violence.
    The eminent Mr Sowell left the D plantation so…
    Just like all those women who dare be conservative in their persuasions…

    Sad…nothing new…but still sad at how the left robs “the whole” for the sake of the narrative. Progressives always destroy what they cannot understand or control.

  5. Has anyone stopped to consider that the people who write for Ebony have never heard of Sowell?

    By the same token, do you reckon anyone on the editorial staff at Teen Vogue knows who Milton Friedman is?

    Printed my copy.

    As an American of Native (Cherokee) ancestry, I authorize any of Neo’s readers who so desire to wear whatever ersatz Indian regalia suits their fancy.
    You’ll have to make your own certificate.

  7. Not a fan of this racial “profiling” thing; but as long as we’re doing it, I, for the most part, highly appreciate Kevin Williamson’s ideas and style (at the “National Review”).

  8. Borders book stores always placed Thomas Sowell’s books in the political section. I would move as many as I could to the black studies section in the hope that they might be purchased by the unknowing and be exposed to his writings

  9. Alsop fan, whoo hoo ! There was a movement afoot to change my 150 year ( in NE, so we have old schools) High School s mascot which was a very noble rendition of a Mohegan Brave. It was never made fun of or disrespect,ever. In fact it was probably the only exposure that us children of immigrants ever saw of a Native American & it was most positive. Happly that student newly arrived from the ME, was shouted dowmn in his effort. OF COURSE he is done there and moved on & 150 Yr old tradition is safe.

  10. Thomas Sowell is a national treasure!
    I wish I were surprised that he’s never made the Ebony 100, but I’m not. AT minimum, everyone in the media should read his Basic Economics book.
