The 'Diversity' Fraud





The 'Diversity' Fraud by Dr. Thomas Sowell
In short, something very much like the quota limits that were applied to Jews in the past are now being applied to Asian Americans — and, once again, are being justified by diversity.




In the United States, the Supreme Court itself has long been part of such game-playing when it comes to affirmative action. Back in 1978, an opinion by Justice Lewis F. Powell banned racial quotas with one hand and created "diversity" as a criterion with the other. In other words, colleges were told in effect that they can have racial quotas, but they just can't call them racial quotas.

Nothing so epitomizes the politically correct gullibility of our times as the magic word "diversity." The wonders of diversity are proclaimed from the media, extolled in the academy and confirmed in the august chambers of the Supreme Court of the United States. But have you ever seen one speck of hard evidence to support the lofty claims?

Although diversity has become one of the leading buzzwords of our time, it has a history that goes back several generations. In the early twentieth century, the principle of geographic diversity was used to conceal bias against Jews in the admission of students to Harvard and other leading academic institutions.

Thomas Sowell says ...

Liberal Racism                          






"30 years of liberal policies:
 more damaging to blacks than slavery"

Some responses

This guy is a liberal's nightmare.

Im pretty sure libs detest free thinking period!

I bet a BLM member would stab this man to death, for being a coon ass uncle tom.

I'm sure Cenk and Ana from The Young Turks would call him a coon.

The left are using a brilliant strategy of ruining the lives of minorities and using their anger and frustration to sic them on the conservatives. Then, when the minorities are in a war against the right wing people, the left gives them rhetorical support and gains most of their votes. Meanwhile, the minorities are so busy fighting a deeply emotional battle, that they are unable to stop and think logically about what's going on and the conservatives will be busy defending themselves from all kinds of attacks and false allegations.

"People don't think economics be like it is, but it do." Black Economics Guy

Just think of all the upper class college cry babies you could trigger with this.

They'd probably scream about "hate speech" like Trigglypuff.

Thomas Sowell is the epitome of sound reasoning.

I bet the "Left" cannot stand Mr. Sowell.

BD H: It's not that the constitution will be amended, it comes down to these "wolves in sheep's clothing" trade agreements that are/will subvert the constitution. The mother of them all being the TPP, which if you haven't read will basically allow corporations to run rough shot and they will be beholden to no countries laws/judicial systems. Not to mention that it basically dissolves countries borders and sovereignty. Don't believe me, check out the safe cities network or the UN disarmament agreement that John Kerry signed not too long ago. That is what these people are talking about. I don't play the ideology game, left, right, liberal, conservative, it's all bullshit. However, I do know what tyranny looks like and this only the beginning.

Barack Obama would have the feces and urine scared out of him if he ever tried to publicly debate Thomas Sowell !

I'd love to see that. It'd be the intellectual equivalent of someone with no arms trying to fight Bruce Lee.

The truth is liberalism is an act. Liberals don't care about blacks, or gays, or Muslims. They aren't willing to spend their own money to help the poor or disadvantaged. What they want (and I'm speaking about every Hollywood liberal elite here) is for YOU to think that THEY CARE, when they really don't.

Michael Massey-- very well said....the appearance of caring...just like much of anything of this latest generation, fakeness.....

One of the truly great intellects produced by my country. A man such as this should not be a voice in the wilderness, he should be among the most respected of leaders.

That will never happen because he completely destroys the liberal media narrative with logical reasoning and facts, so he will never get the deserved exposure for him to go mainstream

This man is considered an uncle Tom,I mean literally that is his name.I hope his nieces and nephews don't called him uncle Tom.Seriously though he is a brilliant man.



I've never seen Dr. Sowell appear on a Sunday talking head show, or any other such discussion group.  Ever. Maybe did and I missed it.  Still, Thomas Sowell is to sound racial policy as was Milton Friedman to sound economic policy. Brilliant, and feared by the liberal left.

Sowell Man -1000 Words

Res Ipsa Loquitor

The fundamental problem of the political Left seems to be that the real world does not fit their preconceptions. Therefore they see the real world as what is wrong, and what needs to be changed, since apparently their preconceptions cannot be wrong.

A never-ending source of grievances for the Left is the fact that some groups are “over-represented” in desirable occupations, institutions, and income brackets, while other groups are “under-represented.”

When Thomas Sowell Speaks ..


Today's Main Feature
The Wisdom of Thomas Sowell


"It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it."


  • "It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."


“I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's" money.”
Thomas Sowell's Brain





  • "Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it."


  • "One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them."

  • "The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department."
"The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling."


  • "The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive."

  • "I think this man (Obama) really does believe he can change the world, and people like that are infinitely more dangerous than mere crooked politicians."

"If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today."

  • "Life in general has never been even close to fair, so the pretense that the government can make it fair is a valuable and inexhaustible asset to politicians who want to expand government."

  • "Actually lowering the cost of insurance would be accomplished by such things as making it harder for lawyers to win frivolous lawsuits against insurance companies."




I would dearly love for someone from the left explain how any of this is wrong headed.

Dr. Thomas Sowell - Live





The Difference Between Liberal and Conservative
Thomas Sowell



I'm trying to think of the last time I saw Thomas Sowell on a Sunday talk show, or PBS, or anywhere.  Comes up a blank.  We know he has a brilliant mind, but ideas today get their legs on television.  Maybe Dr. Sowell just isn't interested in appearing on these venues?  Or maybe the people who decide who gets to appear don't want him.  Don't want  his ideas to see light?

Thomas Sowell - Romney Tax Evasion? Where's the IRS



Just as simple as that         

When Senator Harry Reid claims that Mitt Romney hasn't paid his income taxes, and demands that Governor Romney disprove this unsubstantiated allegation, that raises an obvious question as to why the Internal Revenue Service has not prosecuted Romney, instead of leaving that to a partisan politician in an election year - Thomas Sowell- The Paul Ryan Choice
