I love Elder, Williams, Sowell not because they are black, but because of their intelligence, passion and clarity.

So do I. I mentioned their names in the context of her not being alone. She had her own short list of role models as well.

Only a nagging thought. Remember, I thought the exact same thing.

So do I. My 2nd response to the same thread.

I question myself sometimes on why my favorite writers are Walter Williams, Larry Elder, Thomas Sowell. Coincidence?

I'm white, Southern, raised knowing all the "colored jokes" and saying the n-work more than I would like to admit. It WAS the culture in Alabama. That's not me or most of Alabama, anymore.

I don't consciously try to prefer the black, conservative writers, but I always look first to their columns.
