'''Walter Williams''' is a prominent black [[conservative]]-[[libertarian]] commentator. Williams is known as a popular guest host for [[Rush Limbaugh]], but his primary job is as an [[economics]] professor at George Mason University. Though considered to be conservative, Williams economics training gives him a perspective which can best be described as libertarian. Williams also produces a weekly syndicated editorial column which may be read in many newspapers in the [[United States]]. Many of these past articles have been collected in books and made available for purchase; most of his articles since approximately 1996 are available online (see below). | |||
Some fans consider it noteworthy that Williams is of [[African-American]] descent but is conservative in his political beliefs. Williams is a champion of Black education, frequently indicting the educational systems of inner city schools for perpetuating, in his words, a fraud against African-American students and families by lowered standards. Williams is also an outspoken critic of the [[minimum wage]] and [[affirmative action]], believing that both practices are detrimental to blacks. Williams especially emphasizes his belief that [[racism]] and the legacy of [[slavery]] in the [[United States]] are overemphasized as problems faced by the black community and do not adequately explain the situation blacks face. | Some fans consider it noteworthy that Williams is of [[African-American]] descent but is conservative in his political beliefs.
