Review - Black Rednecks and White Liberals - 10/10

Black Rednecks and White Liberals

Author, Thomas Sowell, who often appears on the Rush Limbaugh show when he is on vacation, being interviewed by another black conservative professor who's name escapes me at the moment, has written a book that documents how blacks in America are getting raw deal by the very people who proclaim to be helping them.

In a most ironic thesis, Sowell documents how much of the ghetto black culture is actually not a black culture at all, but it found its roots in a not so admirable culture of white people who lived in northern Britain and migrated to the southern U.S. during the countries founding.

He also pointed out that slavery is not necessarily a white on black thing but is a greater society on society thing.  As matter of fact, in africa many whites were enslaved by Islamic Blacks.  He points out that until 18th, 19th centuries no one thought there was anything wrong with slavery and it was western civilization that stopped it in its own region and then used its great influence to end it all over the world.  Here I would make a stronger stand and say it was Christianity that put a stop to slavery and used it's influence to end it all over the world.

This book is quite informative and a easy read.
