I highly suggest reading some Thomas Sowell, I think you might enjoy him.

This would be a good place to start in light of the Ferguson stuff. Black Rednecks & White Liberals by Thomas Sowell - Here is the audio version available on Youtube for free.

Intellectuals and Race -
Thomas Sowell

The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy - Thomas Sowell

This looks like an interesting read. I'll have to pick this up, but my Kindle backlog is already building as it is.

Interestingly, I saw this by him as well.

>The impact of intellectuals' ideas and crusades on the larger society, both past and present, is the ultimate concern. These ideas and crusades have ranged widely from racial theories of intelligence to eugenics to "social justice" and multiculturalism.

>In addition to in-depth examinations of these and other issues, Intellectuals and Race explores the incentives, the visions and the rationales that drive intellectuals at the highest levels to conclusions that have often turned out to be counterproductive and even disastrous, not only for particular racial or ethnic groups, but for societies as a whole.

Probably a good read given the Hernandez/Cross tweets regarding NYS some people [like myself] find to be offensively condescending.
