Sowell’s response, put into words that a white man like myself might rightly use, is “how’s that NAA(L)CP plan working out in places like Gary, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, and Minneapolis?” Whether the NAA(L)CP likes it or not, Sowell is correct that the results in the inner city have their stamp on them, and transitively on their sponsors. If the NAA(L)CP does not like being associated with the results, they can work to try something different, and either tick off the liberal sponsors or get them on board.
