You've made a point I'll take time to consider as it's a new perspective for me. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about Sowell, but there are other black conservatives I especially appreciate and I never looked at it this way. So I really will think about what you've said.

You've made a point I'll take time to consider as it's a new perspective for me. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about Sowell, but there are other black conservatives I especially appreciate and I never looked at it this way. So I really will think about what you've said.
However, there are other reasons besides race for people to love someone like Sowell. It's the same reason I love certain of the medical freedom heros who spoke up for us all during covid. It took so. much. courage. I respect that and can never forget it. I've even called them heros just now and it's obviously nothing race related.
So, back to black conservatives. They get the harshest criticism from the left. Stuff that makes me very angry. They get criticized by leftist whites for being too white and everyday uninformed democrat blacks call them traitors in various slang terms. I've watched in shock media videos of the abuse they get. The reason it's shocking to me is that I see the left say they are "anti racist," but they will say far more racist, abusive things about a black conservative than a white one. It's the same strategy as the left used against doctors who spoke against vaccine mandates or advocated for vaccine injured people. Immediately they pulled out every weapon to take these guys out so others would learn from it and be afraid.
They don't want there to be such a thing as a black conservative, so it is making oneself a target to be one. How could we not admire that kind of courage? So I think we instinctively admire a smart black conservative who took all these arrows and kept on going. They are doing for black people what medical freedom heros did for other medical practitioners: making it okay to speak up, showing it can be done. We see and respect that.
