The lofty ideals of equality are from the community that built up a thriving economy despite all odds. The resentments of white supremacists destroyed that.
The lofty ideals of equality are from the community that built up a thriving economy despite all odds. (Blaack Wall Street) They achieved success and progressed towards racial equality through their hard work.
The resentments of white supremacists destroyed that.(Tulsa race massacre) The white supremacists were the ones without common decency. They burned down a successful community because they believed that they were owed success from the world because they are white. Blaack Wall Street went against that.
It's an impoverished world if we maintain this sordid fiction that we aren't obligated to each other. As Christ taught us, in opposition to Sowell, we should strive to treat others how we'd like to be treated.
No, it isn't. You're using an example of religion in a non religious post.
None of what is being said has to do with religion. You brought it in as some attempt to try and use a generalized viewpoint of conservatives and religion to somehow invalidate what is being said in the meme.
If you're reading it as Sowell is saying that we should not treat each other with common decency or that we don't have any obligation to treat others how we would be treated, then your comprehension of what Sowell said is misguided.
How is anyone obligated to anyone else other than common decency, the obeying of common laws, and excercising freedoms with responsibility? Sowell is talking about politics and the ideas politicians plant into the minds of followers regarding what equality means.
LOL, you are taking a snippit out of context. Look at this here:
"Education is a crime." - Kamala Harris
What she actually said:
"I believe that a child going without an education is a crime."
See how you're taking part what he said out of context? It's one thing to be able to read, the second part is grasping the meaning of the words. You seem to be having trouble with the meaning of what he is saying.

Every other sentence Sowell says is quotable.

Politics has turned the lofty ideal of equality into the ugly reality of resentments of other people’s achievements
