Yea, sure it is.

Why did you compare him to Obama if it was irrelevant? Let's say if Bill Clinton was president, would you have automatically tied Sowell's birthday to Clinton's presidency?

Nope...and you know it. So yes, it is relevant in your case.

It's also the first book I've read since high school for which I needed to hold a dictionary in one hand with the book in the other.
Next time, read BOTH books right-side UP.

Seriously, I'll have to read this book when time permits. I appreciate Dr. Sowell's perspective.

I don't see the controversy in this one. Oh wait it isn't in the OP it's in the eventual replies.

Fact: Aryan origin traced to Africa.

I have some black acquaintances, and I do like Ray Charles and Jimmy Hendrix.

The only reason they are mentioning Sowell is because he is Black. When was the last time they made a thread about a living person's birthday.

Speaking of birthdays, he looks younger than 82.
