Jamal Taylor, Tampa, FLApr 05, 2008 @ 07:45 AMStar, why don't black voters flock to great black conservative thinkers like you, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, Michael Steele, Clarence Thomas, and many more.

Taking Up Obama's Gauntlet Apr 4, 2008
And, frankly, I think a cabinet filled with people such as Shelby Steele, Walter Williams, Ward Connerly and Thomas Sowell, would be as good as it gets.

Forum: College daze May 13, 2007
A liberal arts college I know pretty well is trying to get aligned with the popular 21st century academic practice of defining a vision and "strategic goals" to help move toward "social responsibility," "global engagement" and "diversity."
