This article is so timely and so on point. I’ve been an activist on the front lines of resisting white supremacist depredations on Black peoples of African diaspora. When there are people like Thomas Sowell in America making invidious comparisons about the flourishing of the Jews in the USA and the withering of Blacks this article brings us back to first principles and the ongoing denial of the traumatic effects of imperialism, colonialism and neo-colonialism. Given that Bad Enochasinpowell cites Sowell as her mentor, it’s really important that we are able to join the dots on the continuing onslaught on Black people on the mother continent and her diaspora. People have been grateful for my sharing your analysis with them, so thank you so much for this crucial and much needed education.
Sowell is a case, I cant quite figure him out, I don't think he is an opportunist in the way that Badenoch is, but he is surely very off key. I guess without reading him, I wont ever know, but there are more important books and papers to read. I think that we should not take too much notice of these guys, instead lets strengthen our own ideas and build our own analyses.
I am pleased that you and your network appreciated the analysis, I think it needed to be said and put out there and some how it has to be got across to youth, that's the big challenge.

And still, we’re told:
“Try harder.”
As if willpower can outpace colonization.
