Over the last year or so, we’ve been inundated with reports from around the country about statues being removed and parks and buildings being renamed. However, as alluded to earlier, I chose this book based on something that happened locally and, after reading the description for Black Rednecks & White Liberals, I wondered what Sowell’s take on current events might be. I will also admit to being a fan of Sowell’s writing on economics. I’d never heard the term “black redneck” before and wondered how in the world Sowell managed to get away with using it. I’ll admit, the title of the book intrigued me. So, starting today, I’ll be spending the next several weeks discussing Black Rednecks & White Liberals: Hope, Mercy, Justice and Autonomy in the American Health Care System by Thomas Sowell. Then a headline in the local paper caught my eye and the decision was made for me. Yet it had to be something timely and, more importantly, interesting. I also knew I wanted something that didn’t send me screaming into the night, which is exactly how I felt while reviewing TSAR. I’ll come back to them, but not right away. I knew going in I didn’t want to do another book on the last election, Hillary Clinton or Trump. GreenĪfter a couple of weeks of angsting over what book to review next, the decision turned out to be easier than I thought. When Facts Fail and Knees Jerk An Introduction to Thomas Sowell’s “Black Rednecks & White Liberals” – By Amanda S.
