You seem to be hung up on the false science term "race".
Perhaps you should pause and contemplate your navel awhile.

Well, I read the entire OP and I didn't see the word "race" anywhere, so maybe you should actually read first before posting, unless by "you" you're talking about Walter Williams, who is a black conservative.

If I had a chance to meet any two people in my life Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams would be the two bar none. I have read nearly everything published by these two gentlemen and have become a better not to mention smarter person in the process. These guys are priceless.

My first impressions of Prof. Williams were favorable. After I listened to him hosting Rush Limbaugh a few times I was far less impressed. This probably isn't fair because hosting is more about entertainment than serious discussions and analysis.
