Thomas Sowell: Blacks Will Pay for Ferguson for Decades

The destruction in Ferguson, Missouri, from riots, looting and burning will "adversely affect blacks yet unborn who will still be paying the price for it 10-20 years from now," says Thomas Sowell, a respected African-American economist and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.

Speaking on Fox News' "Hannity," Sowell, citing the examples of Detroit and Harlem, told Sean Hannity, "They're not going to have businesses there that you had before. I've seen this happen in other cities."

"A city doesn't get over this kind of stuff in a few years."

Sowell, author of "Basic Economics," particularly blasted members of the Congressional Black Caucus who spoke on the House floor with their hands raised in a "hands up, don't shoot" posture, despite witness testimony, forensics and autopsy reports that indicate Michael Brown did not have his hands up when he was shot by former Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, the Daily Caller reports.

And the sad part is they will never know the TRUTH. I'm sure history books will lie as well.

So many have shown they don't care about the truth. That is no way to earn respect which seems to be such a big issue with them (not all of them, thank God).
