Conservative columnist Thomas Sowell has a history of false claims, deceptive fearmongering and dishonest arguments. So it’s probably no surprise that he would buy into the race-baiting being peddled by Colin Flaherty and WorldNetDaily.
Sowell’s July 17 column — published by WND, of course — is one long endorsement of Flaherty’s self-published book “White Girl Bleed A Lot”:
Reading Colin Flaherty’s book made painfully clear to me that the magnitude of this problem is even greater than I had discovered from my own research. He documents both the race riots and the media and political evasions in dozens of cities across America.
Flaherty’s previous writings have won him praise and awards, but this book has been met largely with silence or abuse. However much ignoring the ugly realities his book reveal may serve the interests of the media or politicians, a cover-up is a huge disservice to everyone else – whether black, white or whatever.
Sowell appears to swallow Flaherty’s premise whole without questioning why a white writer like Flaherty would be working so closely with a white-dominated “news” outlet like WND to paint all blacks as violent thugs.
