In today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision, Justice Clarence Thomas in his concurring opinion mentions this mismatch effect. He also references several books by Thomas Sowell: • Affirmative Action Around the World (2004) • Race and Culture (1994) • Wealth, Poverty and Politics (2016) • Ethnic America (1981) • Education: Assumptions Versus History (1986)

Common sense logic as to why affirmative action has been a failure! Thank you Thomas Sowell for your clarity on the Supreme Court ruling.

I love this Thomas Sowell quote, "The principal benefit of a Harvard degree is never again having to be impressed by anyone with a Harvard degree."

Sowell is always rock solid. Some individuals benefited from affirmative action. But as a group, nope. Also not mentioned is that Asians as a group and individually got damaged. Individually many whites too.

Thomas Sowell, one of the few intellectuals out there who actually reaches his conclusions based on empirical data.

If the black community listened to him instead of Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan or Obama they’d be miles ahead of where they are now

I understand the need to right historical wrongs and at the time there were good reasons for Affirmative-action — but ending it is long overdue since it has served its purpose. Time to return to meritocracy over mediocrity

Thomas Sowell should be required reading at every college and university. He’s one of the most brilliant scholars in American history.

I've been saying this for years. Affirmative action sets up people of color to fail. If you're not prepared for academic rigor's or you just waste a lot of money.
