No, I'm just saying things that you've never considered and it's causing cognitive dissonance.

You've been told by the Left your entire life that 1) racism is the unpardonable sin and 2) conservatives are racists. Because you unthinkingly accepted #1, you feel compelled to prove #2 is untrue. This is what leads you to make absurd statements like "Thomas Sowell is a national treasure". You do it without even realizing it (hence the cognitive dissonance). Yeah he's a smart guy, but come on.

There is nothing wrong with making observations regarding group behavior and dynamics. It's not "racism" but God-given pattern recognition. It's an objective fact that Asians dominate university admissions and Blacks dominate violent crime stats, you are allowed to notice it and it's not random chance. But this has been weaponized against you as a member of the country's dominant ethnic group (i.e. white Christians). Not only are you not allowed to notice group differences, but at the same time you must feel guilty about them as having caused it and pay restitution. That's why I say people have been mind-raped, people accept without even thinking about the absurdity of it.

When Jeffrey Dahmer was asked why almost all his victims were minorities, he replied with although he was a murderer and a cannibal, he wasn't a racist. In his mind, being a racist was the worse thing possible, sure he killed people and ate them, but he ignored their skin color as (God forbid) he wasn't a racist, that would be awful.

This is the mindset most conservatives are trapped in, which is why they fall all over themselves praising accomplished Blacks (Sowell, Colin Powell, Walter Williams, etc.). They accept the Left's framing and defensively try to refute it without thinking. They make ridiculous statements like, "Liberals are the real racists" without even realizing they are reinforcing the Left's disingenuous premise.

Jeff - Again, you’re trying way too hard on this. You have No idea who I am or how I make decisions or why I think what I think. And your pronouncements such as “making absurd statements” is, in itself, absurd. I really find all of this really obnoxious. I won’t engage with you again.
