Your perception of Sowell is colored because he's a black intellectual? That sounds pretty damn racist. How about not judging black people when they don't fit

How about not judging black people when they don't fit in the box you want to put them in?
- BurningFrog 6y agoCan't tell if this is a joke or not. For the record, I'm not having that perception. But many will judge people by who agrees with them.
- john-shaffer 6y agoNot a joke. I got heated over (what seems to me) whitewashing of liberal racism. It is a very real problem that liberals can spout blatantly racist garbage ("You ain't black") but never actually get classified as racist. Yet merely thinking capitalism is a good system is enough to get one classified as a racist and a fascist. I apologize for getting triggered on the second part of your post and forgetting the first, but I think it's very important to call racism racism. Calling racism "colored perceptions" is so misleading as to be false.
- BurningFrog 6y agoYou know, I thought briefly about rephrasing the "colored" part because the accidental "pun". But nothing came to mind. I mostly agree with you about "liberal racism". Apology accepted.
