The State Against Blacks
Anyone read this yet? It's quite an old book, but still I was hoping someone had read the book by Walter E. Williams.

Why wouldn't it be?
If by "brothers" you mean black people, he himself is black (which isn't the end all be all, but doesn't preclude him being popular with the "brothers")

The truth of this depends how you define conservative and how you define "quite a few." I feel like I'm stating the obvious, but I also know this needs to be said.

Yes this is 100 percent true, but Max was talking like there are no conservatives Blacks at all.

MM I have a question - it looked to me that the madmax username was not banned - maybe I'm wrong - but what's with the sockpuppets?

If "brothers" are against this book which shows how the governments intervention in the economy hurts black economic success, that's pretty short-sighted at the very best.
"Conservative" and "Liberal" are absurd conceptions when you're endangering your own economic well-being.

Yes, some of "us" Blacks have Conversative leanings. Either way, such categories are silly at best. I agree with Elephant Walk.
Yes, Walter E. Williams is loved by some of "us" and hated by some of "us." I've always liked him even if I didn't agree with every single thing he said. We had a Black folks meeting decades ago in which we decided that we don't all have to agree or form alliances with everyone on everything. We left the slave plantation a long time ago.
Elephant Walk, most of the people (who have heard about the book and) who are against this book tend not to have read it. They are going based on the author and the "Conversative" label. That's dumb but old dumb dies hard, and it's largely based on the demonizing of many sociopolitical-socioeconomic approaches in the overall Black community (which doesn't have to be a physical community, of course, it is cultural). Many people still haven't realized that EVERY "-ism" bypasses labels and categories.
