Racism is not dead. But it is on life-support, kept alive mainly by the people who use it for an excuse or to keep minority communities fearful or resentful enough to turn out as a voting bloc on election day.

This is the most substantial statement on the subject of racism in the U.S. that I have ever read.

Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.

Although he should have also added it is also kept alive by people like Al Sharpton, Ben Crump, and Jesse Jackson that make a living off of it.

Poverty pimps.

Don't forget the current POTUS who inflamed racial tensions yesterday by announcing white supremacy as the biggest threat to national security.

Agreed but I felt like he was covered under the original quote since he is seeking votes.

Said another way "the left and leftists are racists, and always have been and apparently always will be."

Lets go back in the past beyond the Civil Rights movement and visit Margaret Sanger. Poster child for Dems. Poster child for Hitler and the KKK. Just one example

Perhaps i should atart a daily posts "today's racists leftist". Would be very educational.
