Rev. Erudite Redneck, B.S., B.S., M.A., M.Div.

I admire your willingness to check this out. Based upon reading some of his columns years ago, I just see the name "Thomas Sowell" and a little vomit starts coming up in the back of my throat. But you're willing to go once more into the breach, so Godspeed and good luck, ER.
 

With his new boook, Sowell has driven the final nail into the coffin of weak-minded non-historical Afrocentric sophistry.

For a long time open-minded intellectuals and clear-eyed thinkers such as...

Albert Murray, Ralph Ellison, James A. McPherson, Constance Rourke, John A Kouwenhoven, Harold Cruse, Stanley Crouch, Gerald Early, Philip D Morgan, Stephen L Carter, Randall Kennedy, John H McWhorter, David Levering Lewis, Wilson Jeremiah Moses, Robert L Woodson, Sr, Ira Berlin, James Weldon Johnson, Benjamin E Mays, Sterling Brown, J Saunders Reddings, Frank M Snowden, Jr, Aaron Douglas, Romare Bearden, Kenneth M Stampp, Eugene D Genovese, Stanley Engerman, Herbert G Gutman, Lois E Horton, James O Horton, Eric Foner, Nathan B Huggins, Sidney W Mintz, Leon F Litwack, John Thornton, John W Blassingame, George M Fredrickson, Edmund S Morgan, David Brion Davis, Winthrop D Jordan and Nell Irvin Painter...

have aurged in various forms/ideas/shapes/ways on the "All-Americanism" of the human experience of USA Negro ethnic people since 1619.

Sowell documents that this is in-fact the case:

It can be strongly and loudly said - as many of the above authors have done - the USA Negro is the most "American" of all Americans.

Afrocentric non-thinkers need to face these cold, hard facts and all other realities of the modern human condition.

African cultures, African material products and African social values that existed below the Sahara - 386 years ago - offered enslaved negro ethnic men and women "nothing" worth keeping during their first 246 years in the North American colonies and later in the usa.

As Sowell shows, most bonded southern USA Negroes (between 1619 to 1865) adopted culture patterns of those living in semi-freedom around them: that of the dysfunctional self-destructive anti-intellectually-engaged "lowlife" english/irish "male/female" redneck cracker.

Thomas Sowell's over-riding message in this book can be summed up very simply as...

Vile Criminally-Diseased & Criminally-Insane Black Ghetto Rats: Let Go Of Your Redneck Ways

Blues to you
 

Thanks for stopping by, Anonymous. That does seem to be the gist of it, although I've been distracted and so far have only read a few pages.
