He rarely does interviews because he doesn’t want to be famous, so that’s nonsense.He's a c00n because he knowingly preaches a false narrative about the socio-economic plight of African Americans to a White audience for financial gain/Celebrity. Anyone who discusses the socio-economic plight of African Americans from the 50s onward while dismissing how Blacks were affected by redlining and the war on drugs, but making a big deal about welfare, is obviously either completely ignorant or intellectually dishonest. If the majority of Americans' predominant source of generational wealth comes from the value of their home, minimizing the effects of redlining (Which wasn't abolished until the 70s) is at best intellectually dishonest. No doubt Sowell is intelligent, it just makes him look even more guilty.
There's a reason you don't see debates or interviews by the black contemporaries of his day.
He’s known because he’s recognized as the most highly respected American economist of the past 50 years regardless of your political affiliation.
The only people I’ve ever seen have an issue with him are “Black” people butt hurt because he doesn’t continually blame “white people” for the failures of your family.
Victimization has been embedded into Black American culture and it’s sad.
You actually have “Black” people born after 2000 running around today talking about racism when in all actuality if your family was still fukked up in 2000, it’s their own fault probably due to substance abuse, lack of motivation, drive, and common sense.
