My introduction to sowell was a comment by a european terrorist - a comment in which the terrornator proudly cited and admired sowell's stance on race relations. After reading the terrornator's comment, I quickly researched sowell and was exposed to numerous references of him being a sellout. Then I understood why the terrornator admired sowell so ecstatically .
