    If you wanted to get corrected and didn't have confidence, you shouldn't have made a declaration as if it was a fact. I doubt you'll apologize for it though.

    Also, you pretty much admitted that when you said 'ghetto,' you meant 'black,' which is the very definition of dog whistling.

      Sowell is clearly and Uncle Tom/Ruckus by your standards because he refers to black culture as ghetto culture frequently. I was just citing an esteemed black author.

      As an aside. Does it trigger you if I appropriate things? I think I have the itis from breakfast. I’m still hung over from taco Tuesday margs. Today is winesday, so will cook Italian with obnoxious pizzeria music.

        Yes, again, Thomas Sowell is a self-hating black man. I'm not sure why you didn't read that the first two times. Also, I'm not 'triggered' by anything you say and that word is moronic.

          I think that he loves black people, but hates the culture that it chose to adopt in America at present. That is not self-hating. That is being critical of a culture that was chosen in a very Stockholm syndrome sort of way. I think that he is trying to give black people agency to define a more responsible path forward. If you ever get a chance to watch the MLK comes out of a coma episode of The Boondocks, it speaks to this well. The black creators of The Boondocks must be conservatives or something.

            Ah, now you speak for him and the creators of The Boondocks. Is there anyone you don't speak for? Weird how I'm not allowed to do it but you are. Again.

              You are really latching onto that. The point that I was trying to make earlier was that you don’t have the numbers to indicate the breakout of black people that agree versus disagree with the author’s sentiments. I don’t reasonably have that either. If a supermajority of black people like their broken ghetto culture, then I don’t believe that they have grounds to complain about their current conditions nor should they get any special treatment.
