Sounds like a typical Coli c00n
I’m sure plenty of Coli brehs agree.

I don't see how chinese people were able to stay open during the crack wars and the soul food spots weren't.
The local McDonald's also generally are untouched during riots and shyt so people weren' really robbing the Micky D's like that.
from an absolute baseline, it is impossible to gauge family "strength."
usually what is meant is that there was less divorce, and more people lived together in the same household or neighborhood.
that isn't "strength" if there were social, economic, and legal factors that were what stopped divorce, and forced people to live together in crowded homes, slums, tenements, or neighborhoods - often cut off from progress and future prospects.
now there was something *intrinsic* to family across the board, but that was partially out of necessity, and partially a product of lack of opportunity, mand partially a product of state violence violence.
having nearby family and community familiarity is important - as a social function - but not if it papers over interpersonal violence and abuse, rigid and stifling hierarchies, or even as a preventative measure from internal progress

He is basically a hard cultural determinist--imagine a race realist but someone that uses culture instead of genetics as the basis. He believes that inferior Black cultural values, not WS or Jim Crow have been our biggest oppressor not only now but throughout history. He literally wrote that even without slavery and Jim Crow Blacks would still not be equal because of inferior West African cultural values. He believes our inferior values are a mishmash of bad African values, bad Scotch-Irish values, and bad habits from slavery. Until these are fixed he doesn't believe anything worthwhile can be done for us nor should be and we are where we should be in society and economy.
He also states structural racism can't be blamed because X group (Jews, etc.) did fine with discrimination and the free market punishes firms that discriminate against qualified Blacks by making them less competitive (a UChicago idea). Which ignores a lot of context, like he never advocates us working together or forming institutions like those groups, but anyway...
He basically has two goals from reading his work: first destroy Civil Rights and liberal reforms that he thinks will help reset our "values" and then we will begin to succeed despite discrimination (which he thinks is overblown) and also to literally destroy a segment of Black society he thinks isn't worth saving.
FYI, that argument Clarence Thomas recently made about Brown v. Board starting the judicial activist trend was an argument direct from Sowell from 40 years ago. He stated things were getting better on their own and Brown v. Board was both a power grab and unnecessary.
If you are interested in counter arguments to his thesis read the Ethnic Myth by Stephen Steinberg and Culture and Development by Amartya Sen

What does it say when we need to be forced together to be better? That with freedom, we can't stand to be with each other?
People really need to think that kind of statement through, cause there's nothing stopping like minded people from linking up now.
