Intellectuals and Race

Author: Thomas Sowell
Pages: 181

In Intellectuals and Race , the African-American Thomas Sowell analyzes the unhealthy influence of famous intellectuals on racial issues in the United States, whose parallel with our countries is striking. Dissecting their intellectual fraud on subjects such as genetic determinism, progressivism, discrimination or multiculturalism, Sowell offers an uncompromising view whose conclusion goes to the exact opposite of many contemporary "thinkers".

Sowell thus shows that although over time these intellectuals have put forward fluctuating theses on blacks, ranging from "all genetic" to "all societal", and each with harmful consequences, they all nevertheless shared a common point that is often eclipsed: their play of allies towards the increase in the weight of the State and the resulting consequences on blacks themselves.

With supporting facts, Sowell reveals that the current situation of blacks (poverty, delinquency, family disintegration, inter-ethnic tensions) is not the result of racism, whites or society, but of state policies drawn from bad faith, including the culture of excuses, resentment, subsidies, and positive discrimination. And of course, each justified by these complicit intellectuals, under the guise of "moral science".
