There are thousands of trained economists who aren't cited about race relations because they don't speak out about it. Sowell does and he's extremely insightful. You just don't want to hear it.Sowell get's trotted out by people who want a black person to say racism isn't that big a deal and there is something collectively wrong with the black race/culture. Sowell is a trained economist, that's his area of actual knowledge yet these same people don't put Sowell's statements about the economy out there. It is very telling.
