Opinion of Thomas Sowell

[Maxwell]

I've always found it cute when contrarian black conservatives rail against affirmative action even though they likely wouldn't be where they are today were it not for affirmative action. Sowell would likely never have made it to Harvard as an archconservative white guy.

Are you kidding me?



Guy went to Harvard and Princeton and, like it or not, is an archconservative. I mean, that's a really boneheaded thing to say.

Not that I necessarily agree with independentTX, but Hispanics like Ted Cruz get affirmative action too.

I overlooked that, but my main point is that, while you may not agree with Cruz or Sowell, they are both incredibly qualified and intelligent people who, of course, would've gotten by to Harvard or Princeton by their own merits and to say otherwise is ridiculous.
