Thank you for running Thomas Sowell's columns. I find them to be continuously amusing, many times searching through his meandering to find his point. There are some exceptions, like his totally ludicrous “knock out” column suggesting all should have guns for protection. I did write a response to that column, but could not condense it short of 500 words. Considering the number of police officers who were very well armed that have recently been assassinated, forget that theory.

Please forgive my digression.

Thursday, Sowell went overboard degrading a significant segment of our society, damning the 1960s and the civil rights movement, a time when many yellow dog “leftist” Southern Democrats moved to the Republican party, quoting “his facts” that blacks were much better off under segregation. So, in his opinion, blacks are lesser citizens incapable of handing their newfound liberties; and he an allegedly well-educated black, where did he go astray?
