Containing Social Dynamite
“Some people are in the business of being offended.”
Faith & Family
Economist Thomas Sowell: “Some people are in the business of being offended, just as Campbell is in the business of making soup. … Social dynamite can accumulate among whites as well as among blacks. White extremist hate groups already exist, though they are a fringe, as the Nazis were once a disdained fringe in Germany. It was the people’s loss of confidence in the respectable institutions of society that gave the Nazis their chance for power. The blind and dishonest political correctness of our media and educational institutions on racial issues today can eventually forfeit the confidence of Americans and give similar extremist groups their chance to ignite a race war in the United States. And once a race war starts, it can be virtually impossible to stop.”
