I’m late to the thread, but I cannot refrain from chiming in with my deep admiration for Thomas Sowell and the wisdom he has passed on to us. A belated birthday greeting to him and hearty wishes for many more.

Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. The first book I read by him was “Inside American Education” published in 1992, a must read for anyone with young children. It is that book that prompted me to pay very close attention to what was going on in the classroom. Not surprised to see that his new book is about education. Happy Birthday to a great man!

Every work is worth the time to read, but “A Conflict of Visions” was a game-changer for me as it gave me a view through progressive eyes. I can understand their world view.

Someone such as Thomas Sowell rather than the fraud Barack Obama should have been the first Black Oresident.

IMPORTANT o/t Gen. Flynn attorney Sidney Powell gives her longest, most detailed interview to date. How did Judge Sullivan go from previous hero to zero? The “There’s something rotten in Denmark” line needs a serious and far darker revision, today. Down a rabbit hole, into an unbelievable cess pool. Our justice system is corrupt, evil.

Ran into this sauntering through comments at LI or CTH (hard to remember now).
Video clip of Sowell on reparations.
Thomas Sowell – slavery a universal institution – Western Europe the only location without slavery* – enslaved whites in North Africa exceeded blacks enslaved in America

*at least by the 19th century; most people don’t know that the English were sending enslaved Scots and Irish to the colonies in the 17th & 18th. However, chattel slavery in the home countries no longer existed (just rural and urban serfs, de facto if no longer de jure).

I have long bemoaned the facts that Sowell is too old and too sensible to run for President.

I think it important to know that Sowell and Walter Willams came up before Affirmative Action. Clarence Thomas’s accomplishments have been diminished by Affirmative Action. It is just a shame.

Sowell is one of the great thinkers of our era.

A name, an achievement, a context. Complete. Happy birthday!
