"I haven't been able to find a single country in the world where the policies that are being advocated for blacks in the United States have lifted any people out of poverty," Sowell observes. (CHUCK KENNEDY/KRT/NEWSCOM)

I don't see a "philosopher". In fact, I don't see anything but a person whom distills truth from fact and articulates it in a plain and clear manner. As far as I can tell, he says only what we already know. The problem is that the people who have control, the political class, are deaf to reason and fact.



This man is in his nineties, and what effect has he had on America's socio-political debacle?



An eloquent and enlightened voice, screaming into the gale of madness.

Unfortunately, not eneough..



His voice should be heard more instead shrill calls for more urban violence by certain members of congress.

I never considered him a philosopher per se



I have always seen him as Brick said "a person whom distills truth from fact and articulates it in a plain and clear manner"



His brilliance was seeing problems and stating them layman style  using a minimal number of layman-friendly  words



No one person can turn a badly off-course society around .. only society itself can do that .. thus no one is lowered because they alone could not turn it around
