My only issue with Sowell is that he comes off as being dismissive of history of black suppression in education prior and during the Civil Rights era.

You need to read some of his books like I have.
Sowell dismisses aff action due to mismatching. Black students who could do well at U. Texas get scholarships to Harvard and fail. Since UT can't get enough black students they admit those who would do well at La. Tech. They fail.

On pre-MLK life Sowell lived it. You didn't. He writes that black people actually got married before having children. Black kids didn't commit crime or do drugs. His high school classmates became successful. That school now graduates people who go to prison.
