He's a 90+ year old Harvard and other schools graduate, member of whatever number of academic organizations, author of various economic and social analysis books. He's an economist broadly. He has the position that, in a word, the black community decline is a problem of culture.

He has quotes such as, paraphrased, "If you want to understand the plight of the black man, you should compare where he stood 100 years after slavery to just 60 years after the advent of the welfare state." He does comparative analysis of the black community in other places such as WWII Germany compared to the US, particularly in the south. He compares the black community over time particularly before and after the welfare state.

He notes that the community did better before the welfare state and has been incentivized to a culture of inaction and fatherlessness. He also notes that he was in his youth a Marxist, and he was disabused of that notion after one year of working in government. Also, he's a black man born into the Jim Crowe south and raised in Harlem before it was violent.

In short, he's a brilliant man with a lifetime of economic and statistical work to show, among other things, that it appears much more likely that the failed welfare state has destroyed the black community, not "muh racism."
