Walter E Williams: Liberals Respect Me
Treated like a white man. During the early years of the Reagan administration, a Washington news conference was held for me for my first book, "The State Against Blacks."

Now, there’s some ... MOREThomas Sowell: Who's Responsible?
Playing fast and loose with the race card. The cold-blooded murder of two New York City policemen as they sat in their car is not only an outrage but also a wake-up call.

In the wake of the horrific and unjustifiable shooting of two NYPD officers who were sitting in a patrol car in Brooklyn, the mad rush is now on to indict a wide range of co-conspirators and "real killers."
