Sowell goes on to explain "Black Lives Matter:"

I think this is a movement which has its desire to have power and prominence, and logic doesn't mean much to them. And I'm afraid that no lives really matter very much to them if they can do this.

As far as President Obama's role in it all, Sowell believes he has made race relations worse in America in the name of politics. "You've got to turn women against men, blacks against whites, workers against their employers... because that's how you get more votes," he said.

Sowell continued saying that as long as Obama treats people as victims and vows salvation to them through government assistance, he secures those votes.
