It has nothing at all to do with race, Sowell has been a one-note ideologue for decades. Nothing he writes departs from his perpetual script. That is well-known among anyone who has followed op-ed pages for a while. You need to learn more about what you post before you post it.

I see no mention of color until your post. Maybe it was a sexist comment instead. She did say "he", and she is a she and men are from mars and.... Come on; you can do better than bring race into this.

>>Sowell is a very intelligent black man who writes well. << I hadn't known until reading your post that he was black. Unsurprisingly, knowing his skin color doesn't change my view that Sowell does indeed right well. But I don't think he reasons well. I've got fundamental disagreements with much of that article, and can recall having the same thought when reading other Sowell articles. I'm just wondering, now. Were you under the impression that liberals would consider it racist to disagree with something a black man said?

<<<Sowell is a very intelligent black man who writes well. I hope your comment was not racist. We should live in a color blind society. >>> I wrote that I thought Sowell's article was drivel and you suspected racism even though race was never mentioned. Do you see racism at the GOP NATIONAL Convention and hardly see any black or brown faces. I hope that is not any indication of racism. We should live in a color blind society.
