‘Social Justice Fallacies’-3

   Psalms 11:3 -“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
 
I continue to use evidence from Thomas Sowell’s book ‘Social Justice Fallacies’ to argue against the current liberal agenda to destroy America by imposing their myths of ‘Social Justice’ in attempt to undermine the Judaeo-Christian ethic upon which this nation rests.
   Regarding inequalities among ‘GROUPS’, on page 11 Sowell writes, “Yet different groups, with different median ages---varying by a decade or two—are unlikely to be equal in endeavors requiring either the physical vitality of youth or the experience that comes with age. When Japanese Americans have a median age of 52 and Mexican Americans have a median age of 28, their different representation in different occupations and at different income levels is hardly surprising. If these two groups were identical in every other respect, age differences alone would still be enough to make them differ in incomes, since middle-aged Americans have higher median incomes than Americans in their twenties.”
   Sowell continues, “With nations---as with classes, races or ethnic groups –age differences alone are enough to make equal economic or other outcomes very unlikely. There are whole nations whose populations have a median age over 40 (Germany, Italy, Japan), and other nations whose median age under 20 (Nigeria, Afghanistan, Angola). Why should anyone expect a nation where half the population are infants, young children and teenagers to have the same work experience and education---the same human capital—as a nation where half the population is 40 years old or older?”
   On page 12, Sowell writes: “Different nations are also located in different geographic, climatic and other settings, with different advantages and disadvantages. Even if their populations had identical potential, they could hardly be expected to have equally developed capabilities, after centuries of being confronted with the task of surviving and evolving in very different settings around the world.”
   Sowell continues, “Is it surprising that Europeans have long had the benefit of far more maritime trade than Africans? Adam Smith noted this geographic difference back in the eighteenth century, and he also rejected claims that Africans were racially inferior. Other scholars have likewise described the numerous and severe geographic handicaps of sub-Saharan Africa especially. Distinguished French historian Fernand Braudel concluded: “In understanding Black Africa, geography is more important than history.””
   Moving on to page 13, he writes, “The pattern reflected the great difference between the cost of water transportation and land transportation, which in turn affects economic prospects in many ways. Most of the large cities around the world are located on navigable waterways, because transporting the huge volume of food required to keep people fed in those cities would be enormously more expensive if all food had to be transported solely over land—especially before the modern invention of railroads and trucks during the past two centuries. Even today, places with access to navigable rivers have great economic advantages, especially if these are navigable rivers that connect to coastal areas.”
 
   In conclusion, if a company has 50 machines that all produce the same widget; and each widget requires the same resources; the same measure of energy; and, each machine requires the same upkeep--only then can an outcome be the same. But…humans are different, and infinitely more advanced than machines!! Therefore, because human input cannot be the same, human outcome can never be the same!!! 
   So, contrary to the liberal myth of making White racism the foundation for income disparity among the races in America, Almighty God has given us certain innate skills and abilities, all of which need to be developed and pursued to their perfection. How these skills and abilities are valued in the marketplace is the determining factor in the income of any individual…not race!   
   Therefore, income disparity among Whites and Blacks does not equal White racism!!! Therefore, Ibram Kendi’s position: "When you truly believe that the racial groups are equal, then you also believe that racial disparities are the result of racial discrimination” …is false!!!*
 
 
*In my opinion, Kendi’s statement is not just false, but racist! As a university professor, there is simply no way Kendi is unaware of all the facts in Dr Sowell’s book, most of which is not only common sense, but understandable to a child. In other words, Kendi simply chooses to believe a lie. “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.” -2Thes2:11
