Thomas Sowell

 Thomas Sowell.  A black, born in the south, suffering discrimination, orphaned, moving to Harlem to be raised by great Aunt, starting as a  Marxist, liberal, leftest, explaining how he ever became a free market conservative. Facts! 

Sowell thought the key to black achievement was not special treatment or government intervention, but access to rigorous and high-quality education and a careful fostering of the values of hard work and individualism. In fact, lowering standards to help blacks is not only discriminatory but detrimental to black achievement
