One of the most powerful of Thomas Sowell’s writings is Black Rednecks and White Liberals. Whether you believe in a “Redneck culture” or that it came to parts of the South from sections of England, the underlying basis of what Professor Sowell has to say still stands. White liberals have identified a certain culture in African-American society, one they hold up as “authentic”. One they have championed. This action by those white liberals is, according to Sowell, a social poison that must be counteracted sooner, rather than later.
