I think the part where you wrote about muslim women who really object to the Hijab and gender disparity flowing from it really hit home with me. Uphill battle alllll the way when I try discussing it with anyone
Kaveh, your new website speakforourselves.ca is brilliant! I love hearing and learning from people who aren't afraid to challenge the dominant woke-left narrative. I've always considered myself to be very liberal but I've started to add 'classical' to that title. Modern day liberals have gone too far left for my taste and have become the authoritarians they used to despise.
I just discovered Thomas Sowell early in 2020. Reading Discrimination and Disparities was the 'red pill' moment of my life. It is criminal that such a brilliant man isn't more widely known but I can see why left wing biased media has suppressed any stories of him. It would absolutely destroy them.
Thanks very much, Kim. I agree with all you wrote. I'm a relatively new reader of Sowell too and, like you, can't believe that he's not far, far more famous in the mainstream.
To the extent that I care to engage in the racialist echo chamber, I have to ask: Who decided that the only ones permitted to propose solutions for the grievances of a coloured race are those from within? In science such thinking would be considered asinine, as the best solutions in that discipline are colour blind. Would I refuse an iPhone because Maxwell's equations weren't a product of my Chinese ancestors?
that's a fair comment. But I note that the G&M criticism wasn't framed as 'Jivani is partisan' or 'Jivani doesn't have support in the black community' (though I note that his mandate extends far beyond the black community.) It was framed as 'anti-blackness'.
I identify so much with this - what a really great, well reasoned critique.
thank you so much!
