Thomas Sowell: Stop Worshipping Intentions—Demand Results!

Thomas Sowell, with his signature clarity, pulls the curtain back on a bitter truth: the system isn’t broken by accident—it’s broken by design, and black children are paying the price.

For decades, the black vote has been locked into the Democratic machine, and in return, the machine has sold that loyalty to the teachers unions. The result? Failing schools, shattered futures, and zero accountability. Civil rights organizations that once marched for justice now march in step with labor money—mouthpieces for an agenda that protects bureaucracy over children.

Sowell doesn’t stop there. He connects the dots globally—from India to Israel, Malaysia to America—showing how every utopian promise of affirmative action crumbles when met with real-world data. Good intentions are cheap. Outcomes are what matter. And time after time, outcomes are sacrificed for political theatre.

He warns that economic policy is following the same reckless script. Trade wars dressed up as strategy, unpredictability mistaken for boldness. Investors freeze, markets dive, and ordinary people suffer—not because the ideas are radical, but because they are directionless.

In a media landscape addicted to outrage and virtue-signaling, Sowell returns us to something forgotten: the difference between what feels right and what works. Between emotional satisfaction and empirical truth.

This isn’t just critique—it’s a call to grow up. If we care about results, we must stop worshipping intentions and start demanding outcomes.
