I always tried to make time to read his articles when posted on Lew Rockwell. I think this is priceless:

From George Mason Economics Professor Walter Williams’ “Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon Granted to All Persons of European Descent“:
Whereas, Europeans kept my forebears in bondage some three centuries toiling without pay, Americans of European ancestry are guilty of great crimes against my ancestors and their progeny.

But, in the recognition Europeans themselves have been victims of various and sundry human rights violations to wit: the Norman Conquest, the Irish Potato Famine, Decline of the Hapsburg Dynasty, Napoleonic and Czarist adventurism, and gratuitous insults and speculations about the intelligence of Europeans of Polish descent,

I, Walter E. Williams, do declare full and general amnesty and pardon to all persons of European ancestry, for both their own grievances, and those of their forebears, against my people.
Therefore, from this day forward Americans of European ancestry can stand straight and proud knowing they are without guilt and thus obliged not to act like damn fools in their relationships with Americans of African ancestry.

I miss his insight and wisdom.
