    Born in poverty in North Carolina, Sowell grew up in Harlem, New York.[2] Due to financial issues and deteriorated home conditions, he dropped out of Stuyvesant High School and served in the Marine Corps during the Korean War. Upon returning to the United States, Sowell enrolled at Harvard University, graduating magna cum laude in 1958.[3] He earned a master's degree in economics from Columbia University in 1959, and earned his doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago in 1968.

    As someone who has lived in several different countries and a person of color. My father is black and my mother is Vietnamese. I was warned before I moved to the US that Black people in America were perpetual victims. They were taught and nurtured a victim mentality from birth and had no real idea of their true history. I have to say it’s true. Racism is the excuse for every failure and every missed opportunity. I see it all the time. Will some people not like you because you’re black, probably. Just like some people won’t like other people because they are white, or they’re rich, or they are beautiful, they may be too athletic or too fat. There will always be someone looking for a reason to not like you. It really has anything to do with the race or even with you personally. The idea of someone paying reparations for something they did not do to people who did not suffer one day under slavery is asinine and boggles my mind. The kind of entitlement you must have to justify that in your brain is crazy.

      To add to that a lot of peoples ancestors didnt even come to the US until decades after the end of the civil war- late 1880s/90 & early 1900s the US had a population boom with immigrants from Italy, Ireland etc. I was born into a bi-racial now tri-racial family & my elders taught me from a young age to shut down all that kinda talk "dont you dare try to benefit off the suffering of your ancestors". Have a auntie that dated white men during the jim crow years & her & other of my elders always say some black folks nowdays complain about slavery more than our ancestors who were slaves proably did. Do have a problem with Sowell saying "liberals" along with other ppl nowdays.

    Yessss!!! This is amazing. Everyone should be open to speaking to someone with an opposing opinion on ANY topic in life. You can’t yell RACIST, BIGOT, HOMOPHOBE, FACIST and allll the other words that get thrown around to try to silence and manipulate someone just because you don’t agree with them. If you have not done any research on the opposing view as well as your own then don’t have the conversation. You are just a pawn at that point !! Great Job Mr. V. Great job. Bring more.

    Slavery has pretty well been around since the beginning of mankind. The stronger dominating over the weaker. It was nothing to do with color. I have Viking ancestors. They took slaves back from the coast of what is now the UK. In fact one of those slaves is my bloodline from my ancestor grandfather who took a slave woman as a wife. In fact, the first slaves brought to what is now America were 100 Irish children. Thomas Sowell speaks facts with many years of research to back it up, the truth regardless of whether it's accepted or not, and is one of America's most intelligent men. Just like Jordan Peterson is one of our brightest for here in Canada!

Well, the majority of slaves owned by wealthy Greeks were also Greek. How do we figure out whose ancestors were the slaves and whose were the owners?
