Thomas Sowell Quote 

"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 50 years ago, a liberal 25 years ago, and a racist today."

Reader comments about this quote:
Ahh yes, the wonders of PC
 -- Mike, Norwalk		 
A racist used to mean pride in one's cultural heritage and NOT the hatred of another race. My how the definitions of words have changed over the years. Discriminate used to mean an individual educated decision about "anything" as to whether the thing or circumstance was right and best for him/her. Prejudice was an uneducated decision. Now they are all hate words. Bang on Mike if political correctness was your point.
 -- Anon		 
A wise man with common sense.

I think it was good to be a radical and a liberal under Sowells rules or definition but sad to be a racist under his rules if I entirely get his drift.
 -- Waffler, Smith		 
 -- Bill Dunphy, Northville, MI 
Indeed how the meaning of words has changed. A radical is one who speaks the truth.

Urban League of Liars Re: Urban League Asks Obama to Address Black Issues The hypocritical Urban League of lying thieves would rather blame color than character, further fulfilling stereotypes that have too much truth in them, as realists dare to acknowledge at the risk of being branded "racist" by obvious racists with their double standards, promotion of reverse discrimination, and other parasitical practices that feed off "white guilt."
 -- David Ben-Ariel, Toledo		 
As always Waffler is lost in confusion.
