The Amazon blurb says that In this instant New York Times bestseller, renowned economist Thomas Sowell demolishes the myths that underpin the social justice movement

The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed.

The social justice warriors know their arguments don't stand up to inspection, so they've adopted a unique discussion style

However attractive the social justice vision, the crucial question is whether the social justice agenda will get us to the fulfillment of that vision. History shows that the social justice agenda has often led in the opposite direction, sometimes with catastrophic consequences.

More things are involved besides simply mistakes. All human beings are fallible, and social justice advocates may not necessarily make any more mistakes than others. But crusaders with an utter certainty about their mission are often undeterred by obstacles, evidence or even fatal dangers. That is where much of the Western world is today. The question is whether we will continue on heedlessly, past the point of no return.

A Progressive named David Joshua Rubin wises up and joins the Republicans after getting grossed out by the "woke left" and critical race theory in American institutions. Many of us formerly left thinkers have switched sides as we realized not only that Biden is grossly incompetent, but that progressivism itself has gone down a blind alley. Social justice is not what social justice activists (warriors) cause, merely what they aim for and often talk about. Social Justice Fallacies by Thomas Sowell tells the truth about these fallacies, which have been pushed as part of the liberal narrative. If you do not support this narrative and its parts, you will be cancelled. This is not how teaching is supposed to work. If one is grossed out by everything to do with the erroneous, arrogant, racist tome "the 1619 Project," you will be cancelled, because you will be violating the liberal's and the 1619 Project's and Nikole Hannah-Jones' key beliefs: blacks are victims and whites are victimizers—the main fact we are all supposed to be learning in our education. Except it is not true and it is not a fact. See 1620: A Critical Response to the 1619 Project.

David Joshua Rubin (born in June 1976) is an American conservative political commentator. He is the creator and host of The Rubin Report, a political talk show on YouTube and on the network BlazeTV. Launched in 2013, his show was originally part of TYT Network, until he left in 2015, in part due to widening ideological differences. Previously, Rubin hosted LGBT-themed talk shows, including The Ben and Dave Show from 2007 to 2008 and The Six Pack from 2009 to 2012, both of which he co-hosted with Ben Harvey. Rubin has written two books. Rubin originally considered himself to be a progressive while part of The Young Turks. However, Rubin has written that his views began to change after witnessing progressive commentator and former colleague Cenk Uygur's criticisms of Fox News commentator David Webb. . . . In October 2020, Rubin said he had "been a lifelong Democrat", but would be voting for a Republican president for the first time and endorsed Donald Trump for a second term in the 2020 United States Presidential Election. Rubin subsequently elaborated that while he didn't agree with everything Trump had done, he had changed his mind on the president and would vote for Trump on the basis of his opposition to the "woke left" and critical race theory in American institutions. . . ."

Thomas Sowell is a highly educated black U.S. citizen, and a writer

Thomas Sowell, born June 30, 1930 is an American economist, author, and social commentator who is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. With widely published commentary and books—and as a guest on TV and radio—he became a well-known voice in the American conservative movement as a prominent black conservative—which is a type of person liberals hate. He was a recipient of the National Humanities Medal from President George W. Bush in 2002.

As a United States Marine during the Korean War, Thomas Sowell, Ph.D., has encountered some harsh times, and he has worked at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, where he is the Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow on Public Policy

Thomas Sowell was born in segregated Gastonia, North Carolina, to a poor family, and grew up in Harlem, New York City. Due to poverty and difficulties at home, he dropped out of Stuyvesant High School and worked various odd jobs, eventually serving in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. Afterward, he took night classes at Howard University and then attended Harvard University, where he graduated magna cum laude in 1958. He earned a master's degree in economics from Columbia University the next year and a doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago in 1968. In his academic career, he has served on the faculties of Cornell University, Amherst College, Brandeis University, and the University of California, Los Angeles. He has also worked at think tanks including the Urban Institute. Since 1977, he has worked at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, where he is the Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow on Public Policy.

Thomas Sowell is a genius who is a thorn in the side of liberals because he represents exposure of the lie the Democrats have been telling black Americans for years: Always vote for Democrats since they'll "take care of" you. The facts show this to be false: Trump has taken better care of blacks than either Obozo or Biden.
