I like sowell a lot but his entire schtick is just being able to say the obvious and get away with it because he's an older urban youth gentleman tanned American

The actual points he makes at like sociology 101 stuff. But he gets people interested in it so I guess he's like bill bye or something

lmao this namefag. i'd be willing to bet that you suffer from an anxiety disorder, and likely some sort of depression. just because you're fat and spread your legs does not make you enlightened. but then again, there really is no point in reasoning with hyper-emotional, irrational people such as yourself ;-)

go back to the kitchen.

Notice how people have stopped saying "diversity is our strength" they've moved into a negative enforcing stance now.

obvious as in community college sociology 101 first week of class. as in not insightful or groundbreaking in any way. as in having a math professor explain how 2 + 2 =4

I've always been mystified by /lit/'s fascination with Sowell. Are these passages really impressive to you? Sometimes it seems like everyone here just reads the same meme authors and nothing else. No one more broadly educated in sociology, anthropology, or economics is impressed by Sowell.

Sowell drops truthbombs in many of his books that are too much for white liberals to handle. That alone is worth reading

people like him because he says things normal people aren't allowed to say in public and is a decent speaker instead of some sociologist spaz nerd. it's like saying Bill nye sucks because he hasn't published any groundbreaking research. he's more of a rally point for sanity than a genius sociologist

Severely underrated. Everyone should read his books.

You are not well versed in any of the fields you are speaking of. Shut the fuck up and start reading.
