If "consanguinity" is a reference to Sowell's race, which I'm sure it is, then you have attempted to diminish the impact of his words IMO. Why would you do that?

Why do you think that denying consanguinity with a brilliant Negro in any way diminishes the words of the brilliant Negro? Do I detect an implication of Negro inferiority in your words?

Sorry, I don't see his words that way.

It was an elegant way to say, "we must have been seperated at birth".

You misunderstand; my respect for Sowell transcends race; I can't avoid my own.
