SOWELL SPEAKS ON FERGUSON – AT 8:56 A.M. ET:  Tom Sowell is one of the most brilliant commentators around.  As an African-American with conservative instincts, he's had to brave the artillery fire from the black establishment and its white radical allies (who never have to suffer from the damage they do.) 

Sowell appeared with Sean Hannity, and his comments about the line that has come to symbolize Ferguson protests – "Hands up, don't shoot" – are among the most provocative I've seen.  From RealClearPolitics: 

I thought of Joseph Goebbels' doctrine, people will believe any lie if it's repeated often enough and loud enough. They're repeating it often enough and loud enough. And it will pay off for them personally and politically. People who are out to forward their political careers say and do things that have no relationship whatever to reality or to anybody else's interests but their own. I think what happened in Ferguson, Missouri, it is going to adversely affect blacks yet unborn who will still be paying the price for it 10, 20 years from now because you're not going to have businesses there that you had before. I've seen this happen in other cities. Detroit, is a classic example. Harlem. You run through the whole list of them. A city doesn't get over this kind of stuff in a few years.

COMMENT:  Of course that's absolutely accurate.  It's ordinary black people who pay the price for the racial agitators and the damage they do to a city. 

In New York, whole neighborhoods became war zones in the 1960s.  The professional race baiters and white radicals moved on, but the common people were left with the wreckage.  Then the white radicals would return to their tenured positions in universities and lament, "Look at the condition of these neighborhoods.  Look what white racism does."  The lies flowed, but the trendy media looked to their "higher truth."
