But Can You Not See How Fascinating I Am?
A tale of vomiting, tears, and unrelenting pretension.
I suppose the drama above – all that time on the verge of vomiting – is what happens when you spend your formative years steeped in the Progressive Identity Hierarchy, in which straight white woman is somewhere near the bottom, barely above the universally disdained straight white man. Inventing some modish gender nonsense – and then publicly complaining about other, less sophisticated people failing to defer to it – may boost your social standing a little. And that does seem to be what these things are very often about.

His examples are so great: discriminated-against minorities that make more than the national average (various countries); places like KY where the white counties make less than blacks nationwide; the fact that married black couples make better than the national average (he asks “do racists give a pass to married blacks?”); similarities between the white underclass in UK and the blacks in US. He points out that the increase in unmarried mothers (white and black) happened right after welfare benefits were put in place and that white or black fatherless boys are much more likely to commit crimes.
Sowell is a national treasure.
Uh oh:
