It's a beautiful thing to see young people waking up to what's really going on. ❤
Large, you rock, well said.
It’s criminal what the media has done to this society with their lies for their own self interests
Amen to that!
Amen!
These people are more than likely being paid or trying to build a base using trends that involve denying the historical evidence to make a quick buck… The data is clear, anyone denying it has an ulterior motive…
Thomas Sowell is one of the greatest American minds of the 21st century. So underrated.
He doesn’t go along with the race baiting narrative so they don’t want to hear from him.
Have you ever wondered why you as a white man are so enamoured by Thomas Sowell and yet few black people are? And how Thomas Sowell is championed by primarly white conservative and libertarian men? Have you ever had the idea to question as to why that is, and why he only says things that people of your demographic enjoy hearing?
@bazimyan No, I haven't because I haven't found anything he's said to be untrue in my research. If you have an untrue claim he's made, let's hear it? It's pretty brave of you to assume people's political leanings online, but hey, that's the new left.
@@macpyle1669 I already know you're either a white libertarian or conservative because if you weren't you would have said otherwise. And those are the only demographic who champions Sowell so strongly.
And his claims regarding Trump when it compares to Obama is both wrong and ridiculous. He claimed that Trump was far better than Obama as president without citing one metric except for specific economic indicators (jobs/economy) which were already on the upswing before he ever a set a foot in office. And any economist (by the way, I studied Economics) would tell you that it takes a couple of economic cycles before the polices of the next president is even felt by the public, so those rising economic indicators were due to Obama. Even IF you give those to Trump, then Biden *by those same indicators* is a far superior president to both Obama and Trump. And I highly doubt any conservative would cede that argument.
Everything that Sowell says is based on how good it sounds to the white conservative. He even speaks against black American reparations as if it's something unprecedented yet the United States government has given reparations to both the Native Americans as well as to the Japanese Americans who were victims of being placed in internment camps during WWII. Yet for some reason he finds it unconscionable that America which committed untold atrocities against black Americans for hundreds of years deserves no redress? He's not credible at all.
@@bazimyan Former Leftist/Progressive actually. I voted for Obama twice (still better than McCain or Romney imo.) Obama was horrible lol worse than Bush and I don't like either of them. Bush 2 wars 8-9 trillion, Obama mass spying on americans 4 wars, 18 trillion in debt. So if I'm going to call Bush a horrible President, what do you think I'm going to Call Obama. Trump First Step Act, Abraham Accords (we'll see how those hold up so far so good,) USMCA, almost no inflation. The difference is night and day, "keep your doctor, keep your healthcare" what a joke man. Why would you not Champion him? He's a great mind? You want me to champion Chomsky? nah I don't like power grabbing hypocrites.
This couple gives me hope that America can thrive. And this lady is based.
She mentioned her father raised her. It definitely shows in her thinking , respect for herself, and how she presents herself.✌️
The concentration on your faces as Mr. Sowell is speaking shows that you want the truth. Good on you!
@@Tread1775 Every word you wrote!
72 year old white guy here (not that it should matter) THE best thing you can do as a Person of any Race is to learn to READ no body can enslave your mind unless YOU let them. And the best armor you can have is Knowledge if you have that nobody can keep you down. Also I would say read as much from both sides of a issue and compare, NEVER take any statement as fact. God bless you in your pursuit of Truth.
❤❤❤ you sound very wise. Thank you for your comments.
"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them," - Mark Twain
Shouldn't matter but you bring it up anyways
@@jennaronmurray3071if that’s what you take from his comment then you need to shift your perception of reality.
@@jennaronmurray3071WHAT you read is more important than the fact that you CAN read…
Thomas sowell is an American treasure. Pay attention to what he says.
Black man here who has listened to Sowell for years. The amount of hate I’ve gotten from my own for sharing this man is crazy. Very proud of you two. Very proud.
Congratulations and well done in being a free thinker. Thomas Sowell is one of the greatest minds of the 20th-21st centuries. He is brilliant, informative, and incredibly influential to those with logical minds.
Wow! Smart, rational, critically thinking, supermodels? You two definitely won the DNA lottery. 👏👏👏
yes, before they even opened their mouths, my very first thought was... damn.. these 2 people are really physically attractive. then, of course, their intellectual curiosity and willingness to entertain various perspectives (even one's diametrically opposed to Sowell's and think through things themselves is also very attractive.
Yeah, I was sitting here like "dang, mind sharing a few of those genes?" 😅
The fact that she said she was raised by her dad says it all.
This is why she is so articulate and level headed.
Her father worked and wasn't in the home all day I will bet so the fact that "working" while being a single parent doesn't mean anything
Father's are a necessity!
I was going to say the same thing 👍
Thomas Sowell books are a valuable asset to every home library.
Yeah we didn’t need a book to tell us right from wrong ,, that women weren’t ho’s ,, that a song called cop killer was evil
Funny ,,, we didn’t need a book ! ,, so why do they need a book these days ?
@@tcfolstrom599you don’t need his books, they are a valuable asset like @Pslams is saying. You don’t need electric in your home, but it is a valuable asset. I bet you never have read any of his books to know how Valuable of an asset Thomas Sowell actually is..
@tcfolstrom599 Reading books has always increased intelligence and personal growth
@@Mark-zx2bqyour missing the point , I’m asking why are these generations lacking the basics of what’s right and what’s wrong ?
We didn’t need to read it
It came naturally. We had respect we recognized our place
But these groups are missing some major foundational stones
They are lacking in morality and decency , ethics , character , ethos , virtue , recognizing there is a power larger than them and it ain’t bubba on the corner !
I know the answers , do you ?
When it comes down to it, there are only two kinds of people. Folks that just wanna be left alone and the others that absolutely refuse to leave others alone.
🍻
Sooo the far left is the refuse to leave others alone and the right ( for the most part ) wants to be left alone lol. Im neither btw I have always been in the middle but force lately to the right.
There’s two types of black ppl. Those who don’t kill Asians and those who do
A mother teaches a child the value of an attentive ear and thoughtful counsel. A father teaches a child the value of self-control.
Great job you guys. I never get tired of listening to Thomas Sowell. God Bless
You're on the right road!! Love to see it... Luv ya both for being brave enough to take a journey of discovery. Prayers for you both. 🙏👍💯
You're having discussions and opening up that MAYBE your being lied to, and it's beautiful to see. You're not wrong. You're informed. Mr. Sowell is absolutely based on fact, and reality previous to the age of the Internet when info could be swayed. His knowledge comes from books, and life experience. I highly regard him, as an authority of knowledge. God bless him
YOU 2 ARE STUNNING and AMERICA needs more babies desperately. BE PROUD OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to the incredible mind of Thomas Sowell. This guy does so much comprehensive research into everything when he writes a book.
For real … his books end with almost a chapters worth of footnotes of all the studies, papers ect he evaluated and read to reach his conclusions!
And all his sources come from people who think like himself. Never challenges himself
@@jennaronmurray3071 he was of different mind set earlier in his journey and changed his mind once he started investigating topics
Thomas Sowell is an American treasure.
Walter Williams was as well. Sadly Walter passed away a few years ago, but his work lives on for posterity.
I’ve learned so much from these great Men and I’m very thankful that I was fortunate enough to discover them both a couple of decades ago. It’s exciting to see a new generation do the same.
🙏🇺🇸✌🏻!
I just love when the sad white people started to say I’m sorry, and she straight up called them out. “They’re dying from other black people, why do you need to feel sorry” I love the honesty
Demoralized white people, still.siffering from cultural PTSD from the world wars.
The only group in human history to fight a war against a guy who said "our people are the best" and look how they've been treated for it.
So happy to see young people who understand that you must forever keep learning about this world.
21:45 if you think about the contrast to being taught how to work in an office and learning a trade you will see one thing. Being in an office is a controlled environment you are told what to do when to do it and how to do it. But you are also confined to that one workspace and under the control of the people over you.
With a trade while you will work for people who direct you you have the ability to go out and do side jobs and start your own business.
You are exactly right learning something you can do on your own takes away the power others have over you. And I mean any race, any creed, any color, it is all about control.
Something else lost on some young folks is generational wealth started somewhere. Having skills that people are willing to pay for not only does what you mention but it harbours a different mindset in the home… if when the time comes your assets are minimum then at the very least be passing on a work ethic that can thrive outside the nine to five rat race
@Chrystaldad: This is a bizarre statement that you're making. Interesting that so many people are willing to jump on the bandwagon and agree.
Your statement doesn't even pass the bullshit test. Many people who have worked in an office environment can learn skills and start their own business. In many ways they may even be more suited to running a business BECAUSE THEY HAVE OFFICE SKILLS, which is different than having a trade. You may know how to lay bricks but if you don't know how to pay your workers or file your taxes, you're not likely to get off the ground as a business. I know because I learned skills in an office environment and now own my own business. As do millions of Americans who have the entrepreneurial spirit. This isn't a competition so no need to inflate yourself by dismissing others.
Congratulations guys for opening your minds and escaping the government plantation. The truth shall set you free. ✌️
You can in my feed randomly. Thank you soooo much for watching this amazing man. He is absolutely a national treasure. Every person needs to know about him. He’s special
Mr. Sowell is a good man and he is completely correct.
Also i believe Thomas Sowell should be required curriculum in all schools in America. One of the greatest Americans we've ever produced. ❤
I love how you 2 beutifeul people reacting to videos. But man. When She is saying blacks looking up to rap figures instead of men at home and you straight look in the camera as a proud father is the best CZcams moment in history! Be proud brother! You always seems very shy.
Love 🙏🏽
@@BIGandSLiHM that's the dumbest shyt that i have ever heard a black female say.. white people can't take the accountability for their own people killing black people?? how many videos did u see/watched on youtube when Obama was president n we was getting killed by every white cop n non white cops??? or better yet how about them killing us during slavery n after we was free from slavery??? u forgot about that one from 1619-2024 how about them four cops who almost killed rodney king all four white cops walked away from that one.. what about Mr. Floyd in Minneapolis white cop killed him... so white people can't take any blame for what there people has done to the African Americans.. because we kill our own people??
@@BIGandSLiHM i give this video a thumbs down just because of the female in this video she ask what responsibility do white people have for killing black people?? she is goofy she needs to watch all them videos of every black dude getting murder by white cops n just white people.. a young black men got killed for taking out his grandmas trash but he should be guilty or responsible for that one because black people kills themselves.. so the next time u see any black people getting killed by white people the female in this video she better not say anything about white people needs to be held accountable for their own actions because black people kills each other.. i like the brother but the female needs to go or just sit there n never speak about anything being injustice when they kill us.
Demographic shows they're 12% of the population in the Country yet committ over 56% of the total crimes. Its become more than a problem. Plus they're dumbing down society with how they talk. And are the most sellouts

🔶🔶🔶🔶I love Thomas Sowell. These two have one advantage in life because they are in the top 5% on attractiveness.🔶🔶🔶🔶
Keep learning you two. Y'all are on the right path. Keep taking the initiative and y'all will go far. Much love.
You two are both treasures. Well done. Please keep seeking the truths and joys of life.
I am a White guy originally from NY and a few years ago I move to Florida. My next door neighbor is a Black dude who has never visited NY City. A few months ago, he asked me to give him some info about NYC and what to do. He and his wife are finally going up north. I told him no problem. He then looked at me and said that he did not want to be near any ghettos while on vacation. He said that he works all day in the bad neighborhoods around south Florida, and he does not want to do the same during his free time. I asked him why he must work in the ghettos of Florida and he said coldly because White people do not want to enter those neighborhoods. Who wants to worry about being shot at work? He then said that he his boss pays him more money due to the dangers of working in those areas.
Florida here too. You didn’t bring the New York liberal cancer ideology here did you!
Avoid NYC.
I’d argue the Best way to visit NYC is through Christmas movies from several states away 😂😂😂
Yeah right.....
@Lumpygrits76 😂😂😂
@4:50 "...I be, I just said it..."
That also comes from Britain. Specifically from Cornwall, the very SW part of England. It's a linguistic holdover from when Cornish, and not English, was the dominant language in the region. Cornish immigrants to the colonies brought it with them, and it was adopted by "black culture."
My grandmother was from Suffolk in the UK and had similar speech pattens. She used to say "We be" and "They be" and grew up eating chitterlings as did most people back then as it was the poor mans food.
Y'all are such a beautiful couple and it's wonderful to see you investigating what's going on.
You two are 2 of the most beautiful people I have ever seen. This is coming from a straight white male. Having said that, your inner beauty matches your outer beauty. Keep up the great content!
Straight white old female feeling the same way ❤❤
They really are shockingly, beautiful people.
Indeed!
@@cakesaregood5176shockingly? What’s shocking about someone being beautiful? The lack of self-awareness is so funny. Shocked that black people can be beautiful dang man y’all need help
I came to say the same thing. The beauty obviously shines from the inside out. Sweet sweet souls make beautiful people.
I subbed, even before I got to the end of he girl! Y'all are awesome, and you my Dude, are a VERY LUCKY MAN with a Stunning and INTELLIGENT woman sitting next to ya 💜
Thomas is the goat and an American treasure.
He speaks the inconvenient truth with the desire to help his fellow man get out of his own way and be the very best individual they can be.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That is one good looking couple, both of them. Glad to see Sowell getting the recognition he deserves. We can all learn quite a bit from him.
This is very brave of you two,
I am proud of you, please continue to allow your knowledge to be broadened
Excellent video, folks. Think about what you see as a great life, think of what it takes to get there, set your standards and hold them against all outside push and you will see the change you are looking for. You give me hope for the future. Keep it up!
Two people, bonded, working together with open minds, to better understand the world is such a beautiful thing. I'll have to rewatch it again because I wasn't so concerned with the actual content because I was so enamored with the honest way in which you both seek to interpret the world with each other. The process was refreshing. Keep going.
The commentary y’all have here on this great video is so well informed, introspective, intelligent, idk how to say how impressed I am with how yall thought about it compared to so many “reactors” that just talk, no thought, just talk. Yall are great at this and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this and hearing all of y’all’s opinions.
Now I think I love yall😂😂
Seriously
That was by far the best reaction I have seen on this video
You are going places
Both of you
God Bless you Both🙏🙏
What city are you from? We need more people thinking like you 🙌🏽
I’m from La, and he’s from the Chi 😊
@@BIGandSLiHM awe okay 😊 I thought you might be from somewhere else originally but you both amazing! 😊 and Keeping it real in a world full of phonies and destructive people..
@@BIGandSLiHM Hi. I'm sorry I'm just posting here this way I couldn't find a solitary comment. This video is very interesting. I'm South American. I grew up in a country where there weren't many crimes when I was a child thirty something years ago. This was because of sexism, you were seen as less of a man if you shot at an unarmed person. And the only time it was accepted that a man crossed the line in which he could lose his life was when he talked bad about his late mother or kids. We also didn't have drug problems becaudse we had the example of violence from alcoholism in the XIX century and again because of sexism being violent against a mother made you less of a man in the eyes of society Then The Left started preaching their narraitve about the poor being victims and they started shooting at people in order to steal believing that they were morally justified because it was society's fault that they were poor. I suspect that there was a similar promotion in the US as well and I'm pretty sure it started in the sixties when the political discusion shifted from trying to find solutions to problems along the way into trying to eliminate the system and no matter how well intended the second option may be it creates a vacuum in self esteem that ends up generating violence and with this lack of self esteem and stress from violence came drug addiction.
Idk why this came up in my feed, but I’m glad it did. Hearing open-minded young people speak with intelligence and honesty gives me so much hope in these times. Also, he was SOOO right at the end about having trade skills. There’s nothing wrong with knowledge and hard work in specialized areas. We need more of that everywhere, and it is absolutely in demand. Great conversation. ✌🏽
Listened to this and subscribed as you obviously care, are thoughtful and genuinely seem to care. I'm a 56 year old Disabled Veteran and I see you as fellow Americans and you give me hope.... Looking forward to your future work.
Yes you are 100% Right in the 1960s and 70s most Public schools gave basic training in the trades through Shop & automotive classes as an option for JR. High and High school students FOR FREE $$$$$$$
Public schools moved away from teaching trades because guys like Sowell and his mentor Milton Friedman were pushing economic globalization, where manufacturering jobs would be exported out of the US. So by the 80s that became a realtiy. The market for tradesman dropped and so did its usefulness in public schools. People today only think trades are great career path because most other career paths in thr US have dried up. There really arent a ton of trades jobs available. In fact there are 2-3x more college graduates every year than there are trades job openings over 5 years.
@@conchobarso your argument is that I should pay more for steel so that someone can have a job producing steel when their labor could be used more effectively doing something else?
Global trade creates efficient outcomes and benefits both countries. Some will lose jobs, however others will gain employment.
By that logic we should ban the import of bananas and grow them in green houses all across the USA. That would create jobs right?
Or ban the import of oil.
Very few people have the phrase American treasure mentioned after their name but Dr.Sowell deserves it. He truly is an American treasure.🍻
So amazing watching💯 this young woman so sooo smart and hungry for more knowledge 💪🙌
She reflects and argues with depth 💯
Deep respect 🙏
Y'all showed up on my suggested channels! I'm glad I clicked! Love seeing young people searching for truth instead of just nodding at other people's perceived truth. Knowledge never ends!
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. Happy Y'all got to experience his wisdom!
Beautiful couple!
I enjoy your reactions! Keep them rolling. Dad's can demonstrate for their daughters what a man SHOULD be and the type they should associate with.
You gotta a beautiful girl man. Great insight. Willing to question. Willing to be wrong. Thinks for herself. And is absolutely stunning...
Don't lose her man. Seriously. From Texas.
I've been following Dr. Sowell for 30 years. No American has been more noble, honest, or intelligent in my lifetime. He's the goat 🐐
I Love Thomas Sowell. When he speaks I listen.
The great Thomas Sowell from my hometown in NC
Listen to Candice Owens talk about slavery. It's definitely an eye opener!
This was my first time seeing one of your videos and I really loved it! I can’t tell you both how happy it makes me to see people waking up to the truth that the world is how we make it. Can’t wait to check out more of your guys content! Thank you for sharing this one ❤
Originally being southern born myself I can confirm that this is true. It’s crazy
Dr Sowell is an American Treasure!
He’s brilliant but not respected nearly enough.
Not very many people are as enlightened as you both seem to be. It's good to see people doing the due diligence to learn from the past. Thanks for being a Ray of hope that someday we can put the past behind us and move forward as one people.
I am a middle-aged white guy and I work in a major casino in Las Vegas
You would not believe the number of people that I see at my job who constantly speak whatever language they were raised speaking
They talk about the places that they immigrated like they are heaven on earth
Not even realizing that if that was true, they would’ve never left
Not understanding if you don’t have a good grasp of the American language, you are seriously limiting yourself in the United States
Life is hard enough to get through when you don’t have a leg up or friends or parents that are already successful
My mother was on public assistance and food stamps all of my life
But anybody can choose to educate themselves and read a book
For every person who says there’s no way out there is a Thomas Sowell or a doctor Ben Carson, who is raised in Innercity Detroit
You guys are a great channel and I really am enjoying your content
Thomas Sowell is great watch everything he has out . He’s a American treasure .
Thank you for waking up. Thank you for having the courage to seek out the truth. God bless the both of you.
The way Thomas Sowell gives us information is a gift that I am thankful to receive.
You have to ask if this is being done on purpose and then ask who or what is behind it.
Democratic Party, and the Media, AND the Educational system, especially in the Colleges.
Nope, that's no different then a nazi blaming jews for everything.
The sickness in black culture today is purely self inflicted.
Thomas Sowell, a great intellect and communicator on social and
historical matters.
I have learned so much about USA society listening to this national Honorable man. Thank you !
Unrelated to the content but l have to say, these are two of the most beautiful people I've ever seen.
You two are fantastic human beings. I applaud you for even listening and trying to understand a different perspective. We need more of that.
Being smart and educated is considered to be "soft" in black culture. In fact, black culture is infected by ignorance and machismo. It's sad to see. I'm a black kid in Germany. I visit my relatives in the US, and it's crazy to see how they are caught in a vicious circle. And YES, RAP is one of the major influences.
Watching this I am afraid that "Gangsta" Rap in Germany may have a similar bad influence on certain parts of society as well
Mr Sowell is a brilliant man. Thank GOD for him.
A white man can repeat his exact words and be condemned. The truth hurts many people so very bad.
It will be an absolute travesty when Thomas Sowell passes. He is the most brilliant mind of the last 100 years in social philosophy and history, able condense it to its simplest form of logic that anyone can grasp. I live in the city (Gastonia, NC) where Mr. Sowell is originally from. He is very revered and respected here by whites and blacks alike. Great video, guys.
Your channel appeared in my CZcams feed, I am really happy to have discovered this channel and immediately subscribed. Great video and I'm a massive fan of Thomas Sowell

Congrats on doing your own research and discovering the truth. As a white man in my 40s it seems to me (from a societal perspective) blacks blame others for their own issues; especially white men.
As a white man, I’ve never done anything in my entire life to make things harder for others (including blacks) and I don’t look at race (really), but it seems blacks always talk about race.
I just hope one day I can quit being blamed for others own choices and actions.
I believe media and being bombarded with a one sided view contributes to this. It's a trap that all races but particularly blacks and whites here in America fall into. I am an LEO. When you are constantly seeing racist cops, defund the police and protest you began to believe the blacks as a whole hate you until you are in a store and one walks up thanking you for your service.
You then realize there is so much more you don't see and the social media is not a true representation as a whole of those views. People form their opinions on what they see,hear the most and it's easy to take that view as opposed to doing your own research to learn the truth.
The trades are sooooo important. And we are in for a rough ride in the near future. Currently for every 5 tradesmen retiring, 2 are entering the trades. We must teach kids that working hard with your hands is not a shameful occupation.
Yea but ai and robots will replace most human labor in the next 10 years
@@Darthdoodoo lol not the trades
Don’t think that schooling can fully educate a person. The government doesn’t want fully informed citizens, they want just smart enough that you can go to work and not cause too much of a fuss. It’s up to the individual to educate themselves, knowledge truly is power.
I'm in my 40s and it's amazing to see young people learning and understanding amazing people like Thomas Sowell. God bless u 2 and keep going
Luv what the two of you are doing. Great work.
Shout out to you guys congrats on your channel hope it really blows up for many others to see
You guys are very brave to take the time to listen to Thomas Sowell and share his story with your followers. He is an incredible mind
I like how you both are willing to listen and not overreact to hard to hear info. You are both classy and smart young people. Glad I found y'all here. And you are both handsome and lovely, respectively.
Things like this is the best thing to do, educate ourselves instead of just repeating what it's being said on the community.
Good job on the reaction n continue educating yourselves n work hard n it'll pay off
Once she mentioned she was raised by her father, it all made sense. She’s definitely oriented in a healthy direction.
This country needs more young people like you both! Keep on doing what you’re doing!
Wow, awesome to see awake fellow Americans. God bless you and keep doing what you are doing.
I am a white, conservative boomer and I think I can speak for many when I say nobody is trying to say there is anything wrong with an African American culture and heritage but as the saying goes you need to "feed the right wolf". Cultural elements that allow harmful behaviors should be modified or abandoned such as the ready acceptance of absent fathers, gangsta rap culture/behavior/criminality, and failure to enrich or encourage educational values with the children. Nobody drives through an affluent black neighborhood and says "look at how much white people, government programs, and affirmative action helped these black people thrive" nor would I expect anyone to do that because it would be untrue. They are successful because they did hard work and made good choices rather than fun choices and did not let themselves fall into the victim mentality that is so prevalent today.
You are both lovely people and will go far. I am so happy to have hope that there are more like you that will truly look inward to identify the real problems, find real solutions, and make for real change in attitudes. I for one am tired of racial strife and friction, that we look at individual character without concern about heritage. We are stronger together.
You equip yourself with skills people are willing to pay for. A message for success to every human being
What Mr. Sowell is saying is that black culture is basically southern white culture that most whites have since abandoned. This culture has been encouraged and pushed on the black community as african culture but really its just a way of hold the black community back from success by self-segregation by looking at yourselves as others. We are all AMERICANS and we all have a culture and history to our immutable characteristics but we should not see this as a negative. We should all work hard and be a part of the community and the assimilation of AMERICA. That is how we are successful, fighting this assimilation is what causes tribalism and it tears at the fabric of our cohesive society.
Obviously so proud of you guys for doing this video, learning, and striving to be the best version of yourselves. But dang it's been a long time since I last saw a couple this good looking! I'm especially jealous of your healthy glowing skin. God bless 🙏
I get SO much of my education by Mr Sowell & another smart man Dr Robert Woodson , President of the Woodson Institute! Facts & sensibility
Thanks for sharing. I am delighted to see others appreciate the wisdom of Thomas Sowell, who is a personal hero of mine. I highly recommend reading his autobiography, too, "A Personal Odyssey." He really was and still is the definition of a maverick. Greetings from Denmark🇩🇰
A little History on Thomas Sowell...
He was born in segregated Gastonia, North Carolina, to a poor family, and grew up in Harlem, New York City. Due to poverty and difficulties at home, he dropped out of Stuyvesant High School and worked various odd jobs, eventually serving in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. Afterward he took night classes at Howard University and then attended Harvard University, where he graduated magna cum laude in 1958. He earned a master's degree in economics from Columbia University the next year and a doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago in 1968. In his academic career, he has served on the faculties of Cornell University, Amherst College, Brandeis University, the University of California, Los Angeles, and, currently, Stanford University. He has also worked at think tanks including the Urban Institute. Since 1977, he has worked at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, where he is the Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow on Public Policy.
AND PEOPLE IN THE "BLACK COMMUNITY" CALL HIM AN UNCLE TOM(not understanding what that actully means), RACE TRAITOR ETC.
Good coverage. I wanted to mention that Sowell's "Black Rednecks . . ." was published in 2005 so almost 20 years ago. And Sowell is now 93 so the videos you are watching are quite old but still so valuable. I don't know when he made a last public appearance but worth checking out everything he has written, said and done. I think Sowell will eventually become highly revered by the black community if it is able to overcome some of the cultural issues discussed in this video. You two did great commenting on the videos.
It has beguuuun!!!!! 🍻
Eventually, all my favorite reactors get here and I LOVE watching the transformation in thinking that comes from ingesting truth.
Having an open mind and heart is the best thing a person can do for themselves. I think you both are doing very and wish both lots of success
That was really enjoyable. I love Thomas sowell, wise and intelligent and two these two radiate calm, balance and views not based on anger and resentment. Cheers!
Im not accustomed to seeing two 10's on CZcams 😁. Great to see you both wanting to learn and offer your own views on Thomas Sowell.
He is in a league of his own (discrimination and disparities is a great read). Keep it up guys, love from North East England 👍
Mr. Thomas Sowell, he is everything this world needs. Extraordinary, extremely intelligent, powerful man. For some, his books, his knowledge, might be overwhelming. But he doesn't wash truth, he deals with facts, evidance, and provides all the necessary knowledge for people to grow. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m 47 years old in Connecticut, I grew up in multi cultural society, In a Christian home, I’m a blue collar guy I work with my hands, bartending and construction, every single boss I have worked for doesn’t care if your green. Hot pink, orange, alien, etc, just show up to work everyday, work hard. Be respectful to your coworkers and that’s it, it’s that simple, the hardest workers I know are the people who got lucky and made it to America, the Jamaicans. The Vietnamese, those people are tough as nails, it’s America people it’s up to you. If you fail it’s you!
I'm from New Zealand and I love Thomas Sowell
God bless you both. Not only a very handsome couple but a pair that is open to thinking beyond what our culture feeds us. I think you are ahead of where I was at your age. Keep loving your neighbors and understanding that the way people look doesn’t define them.
One of my favorite things ever is being proud of strangers. Im proud of you guys, its not easy for young black folks to go against the narrative.
