Sepetate but equal has become seperate and special.

[sarasmom]

Only among liberals.

separate

He just hit another one out of the park!

"For example, one of the letters in "A Man of Letters" is from my friend and fellow economist Walter Williams, mentioning that he learned of a teaching hospital near him which had an unwritten policy against giving a failing grade to any black medical student."

"Similar policies are mentioned in other letters, to and from other people, about double standards for black medical students at other places, including the Harvard Medical School in the 1970s."

How stupid.....all this does is contribute to racism against the successful black medical graduates....who would YOU want doing your surgery?

[To Hell With Poverty]

He is spot on. Nonetheless, I almost wish they’d stock his book in both sections, because so many black people (overwhelmingly liberal) would benefit greatly from his words and example. He might get more exposure to the “black community” if his books were displayed in the “African American” sections.

I always remember “a rat” in the middle of “separate”.

"But nothing gets figured out if you don't bother to stop and think about it."

common sense but worthy of the tagline

[bamahead]

Hits on every point of the Federal Hate (thought) Crimes Bill without ever actually mentioning it.

Man this guy is good.

Hey, that's great, I always have trouble remembering whether it's spelled with an a or an e. Now I'll always know! :)

[jazusamo]

Exactly!...But all those lib profs, deans and administrators can feel good about what they’re doing and it’s been happening for years.

[Old Professer]

He would rather pitch.

[Old Professer]

Then I suppose we ought to have a separate aisle for white suck-ups.

[To Hell With Poverty]

What do you mean?

[jazusamo]

That’s Dr. Sowell’s trademark, common sense, IMO. Great tagline.

[jazusamo]

Man this guy is good.

The best. :-)

I think it was in Dennis The Menace or some other cartoon when I was a kid back in the Stone Age, and it has served me well!

[smalltownslick]

The most brilliant man in America.
