I know what I'm about to say is sorta some c00n shyt.....
but
once upon a time, a young blackking wanted to be a GOP politician.
I'm more conservative ( if you can't tell by the gun threads, and abortion threads, and other shyt )
but i'm also hood... and use to be poor -- hence stances like this.
What Thomas Sowell is doing isn't right or wrong BUt it's called political posturing. it leads to nothing. i used to be very good at this in debates.
He is 1) identifying an easy target ( wellfare queens, poor people)
2) having a target that automatically generates an image due to media ( like black hood attitude having welfare whore with 46 kids by 43 baby daddies)
3) using something that takes Away or generates fear in most --- and using that to push a larger AGENDA. ( we have done this with islam terrorist and other stuff. )
4) have an agenda ( this dude believes in tickle down economics and pure bootstrap politics for the poor.
thats what this is all about...... Even though Sowell is on record saying that what they want is
not tickle down economics.............................
LOL which it's not but due to 'political posturing from the otherside.(left) ......... thats what we know conservative economic as... And so on and back n forth)
And this isn't even what makes him bad............. because i agree with the basic principles of conservative politics..........
But if you dive deeper you see the REAL agendas and methods of how they want to get this done. Its to abandon the poor and especially minorities into a perm 3rd world statues while the rest of us 'good hard workers' enjoy even more luxury. This is why Ferguson rights - HE calls "ghetto riots'. When speaking on slavery.... he says 'quit complaining about that and move on".... anything that actually created or helps keep the situations going he ignores the history and calls it irrelevant. Type of dude that thinks the stock market and top businesses making profits means that Americans are enjoying a great economy. Any criticism of the police , justice systems, or law enforcement he calls -- Liberal leftist talking points.
that's whats under the surface of this so called conservative politics in the United Sates. it only sounds good and sounds like 'social responsibility' if you ignore the agenda.
peace.
I would say on the contrary, that is not the position of a c00n. The narrative of this board and the general lack of direction of black people
have led us to very broadly accept "c00n" to cover anything from liking people of another race to getting out of your neighborhood and never
looking back. A c00n makes it their mission to entertain whites at the cost of his own dignity, and the morale of his people who see his behavior on display.
Your leaning towards conservative politics isn't quite on the same level, but for reasons I may get into in another post.
Sowell does happen to have the view that these handouts lead to complacency, which is true in a lot of ways, but only because it is a symptom of a system
that does not offer hope to all of its people. Earlier in the thread I think
@Wenzel Dashington said we should take anything from the crackers. Or something like that.
The thing about it is all of this usually comes with strings, strings in which you have to play by the very system that keeps you in a disadvantage unless you live
within a very specific framework.
I love my old neighborhood. I wouldn't move back. Dummies, druggies, and crabs. All black people. They are typically poor, and if you are doing well, won't ask you
for guidance, but will instead look upon you with green eyes of envy or steal from you outright. Some people are this way due to the system, others would have been
this way no matter what, but accountability lacks within our community, so when a person is conscious enough to recognize there is an issue, them choosing to
take the sleazy way to survival tells you what could become of their character even if they had a greater opportunity and swiftly had it taken from them.
Now Sowell is disconnected from a lot of what is real, but this doesn't make him so much a c00n or anything as it does a man who thinks *his* priorities,
bootstraps and accountability, will be the magic bullet that puts blacks on top. There is an active minority of very powerful people who will see to that not
happening, and a very complacent majority of people who either can't help or won't help or are waiting for someone else to make the first move.
The key to this shyt is realizing since there are no right or wrong ways to go about this, and that until we try different things, rather than sit on our asses
and let ourselves be victimized further, we will never find that galvanizing solution that brings everyone a moment of clarity, and an ideal they are willing
to set aside their own comfort to see come to life.
. We continued that with MLK and civil rights --- willing to not be "too" pro black and willing to be calling 'minorities' and willing to placate just enough to make our lives easier through legislation. Most of us hoped on this because few can participate and All will benefit and also because when you are living in the land of your oppressors ANYTHING ELSE is scary and takes too much damn effort. 
Are we having this convo while pretending that corporations don't run and control that system and even direct our politics???
