re: Walter Williams (RIP): Blacks of yesteryear and today--

Walter Williams was a major intellectual force, and he influenced my thinking considerably from the time I was an undergraduate student. He had a clear way of thinking about economics, politics, and race, and he stood as a contrarian to the way that many people in the United States--particularly those on the left and those who are committed to identity politics--think about matters racial. I suspect that he took a lot of heat from his university and scholarly peers for his contrarian arguments. I knew that he was getting up there in age, but I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing.
