I am a 53 year old that does not look like you I am a hillbilly that lives in a small town on a 50 acre farm and I can skin a deer and run a trout line but I want to thank you for introducing me to Mr. Sowell we have more in common than I thought after watching you and I thank you for that. One of your videoes you said that there are areas of a city that a black person may have not seen a white person for weeks but that also applies to white people in the rural areas. We just do not know each other.
✌️👍💯
Great post man, really.
That's right, we are all Gods children. Evil and ignorance knows no color, creed or culture. It's everywhere, always. If we don't act like brothers and sisters towards each other, we are easily mislead and used by the real enemy: fear and hatred.
As Americans I believe we are naturally more inclined to get along with our neighbors regardless of race. It is however the life's work of the left to instigate division among our citizens along lines of race, age, sex economic status, religion and of course political leaning. They feel they can bring about the change they desire in this country in a moment of turmoil and despair. Conflict might help to get them there. It really is about as evil as the Nazis and very well could lead to a similar outcome.
@@macski6924 divide and conquer! Exactly. We need to stay as friends to lead the community towards prosperity.
My mother was one of those ethnic Germans in Czech. She suffered. She was 12 at the start and 18 when it was over. She was in a labor camp and had to walk back to Germany with whatever she could hold. My mother only ate bread and water. What a childhood she had. I gave up 13 years of my life to take of her before she passed at 92 years old. After everything she’s has been through, that was the least I can do for her.
My family had a similar situation being ethnic Germans in Ukraine.
Bless you.
God bless you. ❤
R u mixed race?
My family are italians, and left italy to come to Australia, we had our issues from the people here, but that was common for europeans coming into the usa n aus.
I'm a white person from southern Africa. Was born in Rhodesia and grew up in South Africa (12-24) from 1987 to 1999. Never once hated a person for their skin colour. "If you can meet the standards, you're welcome."
Love Thomas Sowell. A really amazing historian!

Thomas Sowell is brilliant, concise and articulate. He is a national treasure. I’ve learned a lot from him.
@jannameyer
You clearly are not a Leftist 😊
As a Caucasian European from Scandinavia I have known Thomas Sowell for years. History even with different perspectives is much more important than most people is aware off since without a basis historical knowledge everyone can be manipulated (abused) by politicians and wicked elitists around the world.
If you are Scandinavian then you aren't Caucasian.
@@purplepheasant4776 then what are Scandinavians ? aren't they racially caucasoid /white people
@@purplepheasant4776 Caucasoid = Caucasian
No, they are people from the Caucasus mountains. The idea that white ppl are Caucasian is based on the racist ideology of Johann Blumenbach who believed that the caucasoid skull was the most beautiful therefore it belonged to white ppl.
@@pazuzu-gb7ok You don't live in or near the Caucasus mountains so you aren't caucasian.
Thomas Sowell has been shaking the earth for quite some time now. It's beautiful that you're sharing Thomas Sowell with the world to a newer audience. Thank you
How? He did nothing more than sanitise American history be reframing slavery as a periodical construct rather than objectively noting how the idea of property was first enshrined in the Constitution, denying slaves redress as homosapiens, denying their humanity in tow. It was consorted upon fo ther affluent white landowners to keep their riches in tact through forced free labour. What Sowell put down was complete fantastical dogshit in favour of the fantasy of American Exceptionalism, a conservative ideal he defended throughout his pseudo-intellectual journey. It is completely unimpressive, partisan pretense.
Only in America
@@urbnctrl I would love to see him debate AOC because she’d loose right out the gate
I am of partial German-Jewish descent and I do not hold any kind of grudge against the Germans for the holocaust. I had a dear friend who was born in Germany and was Jewish and she used to say "not all Germans were Nazis and not all Nazis were.German." She loved and celebrated her German-Jewish heritage (and taught me much) and her wise and compassionate wisdom affected me deeply. I am generations removed from Germany yet feel my German Jewish heritage intimately, after generations removed from Germany.
I have been to Germany many times as a Coach Driver from the Uk and brought German students to England to stay at our language schools . They would talk freely about the 2 wars and held no hatred against anyone and always showed respect and were well behaved. I was always amazed at the high standard of the roads and bridges throughout the land....which incidentally is massive! Most of the shops close on the weekends and families enjoy time together.. They are an amazing race.😊
Very nice words! Only thing I’d say is that’s our culture you described, rather than our race. Being geographically so central in Europe, we all have pretty mixed DNA at this point!
I’m a almost 37 year old white man and I discovered Thomas Sowell a little over 10 years ago. He is a personal hero of mine. Everyone should know who he is. He is a national treasure.
Lol, pathetic
@Cavebabybeserker the entire reaction side of YT is like, a giant propaganda operation, even the music.. You'll see like 5 creators react to the same song within the same 24 to 48hr period
But the Sowell vids are the best becuase of the pure amount of comments praising him and all saying something along the lines of: finally this brilliant man gets the credit he deserves or some other such nonsense. Sure, his take is far better than the left black take but still.. this world is lame it used to be alright.

Sowell is one of the most intelligent and curious people i have ever had the privilege of listening to and learning from. It isn't just that he is intelligent that propelled him - it was his curiosity. I first heard about him and read him in my 30's and i am now 74. Have never found anyone more dedicated to research and study.
I've come across Thomas Sowell within the last few years. ... I don't know how I never came across him in my teens, or even twenties.
Over the last year or so Thomas Sowell has become one of my heroes. I have learned so much , in so little time , from him and am grateful for it !
As a decendent of German immigrants in 1903, I remember stories of seeing the change pre-wars.
Also, my relatives who stayed made steal for the Nazi's. My grandmother was offered a large sum of money as inheritance when they died. She said, "That's blood money!" And turned it down.
There was a large population of Germans who were very against the discrimination.
TH-cam:"DIE VERBORGENE GESCHICHTE" TEIL1 UND TEIL2 👋🇩🇪
Thanks grandmother!
The mustache characterized by Hitler wasn't a rare thing for Germans who fought in WWI. Larger mustaches were in fashion at the outbreak of the war, and in older photos, Hitler even had one. The problem is that larger, handlebar-style mustaches would affect being able to put on a gasmask properly, so many soldiers in the trenches shaved theirs down.
Hadn't thought about it. Even today though that's still relevant if you do any regulated work requiring a gas mask you're not supposed to have a beard while using a gas mask, or even cheap disposible masks. Though most bosses don't say anything about those, or at least they don't enforce it.
I think I read somewhere that he fashioned his mustache after Charlie Chaplin's mustache. Charlie was very popular and he thought he was a fan of his movies.
@@0001captainawesome That's one reason the military always had us shave. If we couldn't get a proper gasmask seal, it was worthless.
Hitler also suffered a gas attack in WWI and was blinded for weeks due to the incomplete seal of his mask.
The story I was told (never able to confirm it) was that he accidently cut it too short trying to get both sides the same length and a female told him it looked good on him so he kept it.
Now what other commenters said about him having to keep it short due to gas mask requirements in the army (which is true, even to this day) and having been injured in a gas attack, coupled with what I was told, makes a LOT of sense.
Sowell is an intellectual force to be reckoned with. His data is impeccable, his analysis sound, and his ability to communicate the resulting ideas clearly without sacrificing the nuances of the issue at hand is simply astounding.
I'm so glad he seems to be getting more attention lately.
A national Treasure.
Indeed.
I have asked a question, that I think Mr. Sowell is getting to here, of people who say that minorities cannot be racist. That question: "If the Grand Wizard of the KKK moved to African country, would he then cease to be racist?" It's necessary to view people as individual human beings and not consider them on account of social status, race, ethnicity or nationality, in my view.
Sowell leaves out much in this video about why Hitler hated this group of people, and what happened to Germany after the treaty of Versailles. They brought Germany to their knees.
Can you imagine how well America would do if Sowell were the PRESIDENT?
I told my African American friends about Planned Parenthood and why it was founded.....well, they didn't believe me, called me racist and unfriendly and blocked me.
Thank you for bringing this information out, I hope they will do research and find your channel. God Bless You.
I believe you 100% 💪🏾
Don’t feel bad about losing folk like that, you can’t change willfully ignorant people.
They were ignorant cause im almost 40 and learned this at 20.
Dudes would have listened. Black women love Planned Parenthood. That would have been the source of their resistant.
@@manniking233why do black women love planned parenthood? What is your answer to your sexists and racist conclusion? I’ve heard racist people say the exact same thing. Maybe some of these women wouldn’t need to go to planned parenthood if more men were responsible, wrap up, and stop trying to raw dog and blow loads inside the women. There are many men that purposely try to impregnate women to pretty much lay claim to that woman. So yeah reconsider your idiotic statement slandering black women or any woman that gets pregnant by irresponsible boys. No woman loves having to visit a place like planned parenthood for an abortion.
21:19 I heard from a WWI documentary ('The World Wars') that he shaved his moustache like that in order to fit his face with his gas mask better. When his moustache was larger, it stuck out from his gas mask. It made a little mustard gas seep through. He kept that style after WWI. I've seen a few others with that style of moustache such as Charlie Chaplin and Oliver Hardy.
According to Wikipedia, that style originated in the States and was introduced to Germany in the late 19th century by visiting Americans.
it was used extensively by Goebbels in propaganda - together with his haircut. As an iconic recognition feature. For example, there were election posters on which only the moustache and the hair could be seen with the words "Hitler is coming" (for election campaign appearances). Everyone recognized him immediately. That still works today.
What I really love is that Thomas Sowell can talk to people from all levels of society, education, and intelligence and be understood by everyone. And he doesn't talk down to people with less intelligence than himself, which is most of us.
I am so relieved that Thomas Sowell is beginning to get the recognition he deserves. He's been spitting truth bombs (ALL backed-up by hard evidence) for decades, but because he isn't a leftist, he has been ignored, along with the truth he tells and the underpinning wisdom of facts.
No, it's because he's a writer. There are many authors who have works similar. But Americans, in general, don't read that type of material. The leftist and rightist bs is just propaganda to cause a divide. I guess you fell for it...
I am 40% German and I never new any this the only history was about the Holocaust and that Germans were bad so I never cared about that side of my ancestry so thank you to Thomas Sowell for revealing and for you for reacting.
Why do you run from your heritage? It's literally who you are, regardless of how horrible it is. That doesn't mean that you are evil because your ancestors were evil.
@@Chrisatrucker I didn't run more like I didn't care to know because I wasn't taught anything good about it.
Dude, read about these guys: Goethe, Beethoven, Einstein, Benz, Schindler, Scholl, Friedrich II, Till Eulenspiegel and ofc Armenius.
Your ancestors have a such an great history, and not all of it can be bad.
You are not German but just an US American. You don't speak the language, don't know the culture, don't know the customs and social norms. Why do you claim something what you are not.
Dude, Germany has one of the richest cultures of all western countries!
I always here from soldiers who were stationed there that they were always loved by the Germans. I am currently learning German I’ve always had a fascination with the German people as a small child.

Of course, they knew the American soldiers were there to defend them from the Russians in the East.
I found Thomas Sowell’s work on youtube. Amazingly children are not taught his work in schools. He is a national treasure.
The reason children are not introduced to men like Thomas Sowell is because he is a THREAT of a good example, AN example that drives University fascists CRAZY!!
@osoblues You just sat there and watched a whole video, giving your comments while looking at the truth that other people in other countries where torture like we were because of their race! How can you still say Mr. Sowell's point that slavery (only for black people) was for the purpose of labor with a straight face? You now know what Mr. Sowell said was only partially true. And you now know that those countries paid millions of dollars in reparations to those people.
And Jewish people received Reparations from the United States government even though our government did not cause their genocide. So please point that out when you talk about Mr. Soweil. Get all the facts, not just Mr. Thomas Sowell's because he is only giving you one perspective. Slavery was not just for labor--It was because of racism and labor.
In America, slavery was not codified into law until 1968! It took another 20+ years to somewhat enforce it and provide black people with very little protection and liberties.
Mr. Sowell thinks that every other race should have reparations except for the black race. Even if there is a Jewish person alive who didn't originally get their reparations when they came to the United States they can still apply for it and get it now.
You need money, not empathy, not words, money makes money and that's the thing that they took from the Africans (classified by the government as Black people so we would forever be identifiable and oppressed worldwide), who were stolen and brought to America. No one ever said that slavery didn't happen in other county's for racial reasons, except for Mr. Sowell; he said it was only for labor; he said only black people shouldn't get cash reparations. Why? Greed and fear.
Mr. Sowell was paid to say that black people shouldn't get reparations. He got his money but they needed a stool pigeon to make sure that none of the rest of us got our money to lift us out of poverty and make us whole for the crimes against us by our government. So when Mr. Sowell tells you how he pulled his self up by his bootstraps and made himself his own man by joining the army and going to college, and this and that; that's not the truth.
Black people weren't allowed to do the things that Mr. Sowell was doing during earlier times of their own free violation. We were slaughtered if we attempted to go to college or join the army unless you were one of them. Mr. Sowell was paid handsomely by the government to turn on the black race in America to suppress the real reasons of what happened to Black people if you were a descendant of the original African slaves in the 1940's, '50's, '60's, '70's, 'and 80's. Just like Justice Clarence Thomas. Uncle Tom's, both of them.
Why? For the same reason that the German people didn't do anything when Hitler was murdering Jewish people.
To keep himself--and eventually when he had them his family--alive. Mr. Sowell made a deal with the devil called the government so that the narrative of the story could be changed and we never received reparations, but he got his. And now that message has been passed on to you and you're keeping Mr. Sowell's lies alive, but i don't have an issue with that. Just tell everything. Have a nice day.
I taught from Sowell in World History.
@@mikejacob3536 Then you know that Thomas Sowell is really a communist who believes in Marxism. I don't know that capitalism is any better. Both systems are corrupt and designed to sustain black people in the poor class. But Mr So well won't speak about this part . His material is self-serving as well as necessary. Can't learn about the good in history without learning about the bad in history.
I'm curious, how much of his work mentions the Republic or the word Democracy? Mr Sowell did a very good job altering the thoughts of some Americans and a lot of Immigrants to believe in his ideals.
The intent of his books and films to explain away slavery as merely labor worldwide has failed. It failed back in 1940 and it's going to fail now. He still has people like you to pass his message along. Hopefully, you are teaching the full truth about the history and current ideals about slavery as well as Mr. Sowells'.
Have a nice day.
Hitler cut his mustache to accommodate wearing gas mask, during his service to the Kiaser Wilhelm.
From an outsiders perspective and a side note to this video: let me send you a virtual hug for all the work you're doing to better yourself and become more knowledgeable my man. Not enough people realise in their life that words can win wars, triumph over hate and express the type of love the world only hears of in songs. Congratulations, you're inspiring me to read EVEN MORE than I already am 😁❤🙏
It's a shame Sowell had just gotten known in his older years, but his knowledge that is being taught now was a part of his speeches when he was young. He had wisdom at a younger age. He's not just got people like you, friend. I'm a65 year old white lady, and I love listening to him. 😊be united under the wise
I just found Mr Sowell myself, I am a 73 yr old white guy who would be honored to meet him! Keep up the good work I like your channel!
Thomas Sowell is easily my favorite American intellectual. Not just his discussions on race and race relationships but everything that he touches on. It is so well researched and written I’m always trying to spread the word about this man.
I think all people should study Thomas Sowell. He is a remarkable historian, economist, writer, and speaker.
I love Thomas Sowell!! Dude is a great intellectual. He's spot on.
Exactly! I am German and Scott’s Irish, and my family was strongly against slavery! I can tell you interesting stories about my grandparents, who did what they could to fight against the culture of slavery here in the US pre-1970!
It was known that most slave owners were Jews, that's why Hitler had resentment towards them...
I know German didn't want to pwn slave but the Irish did everything to keep Black as Slaves back then
@@myztroogeegibson3568 Sure Jan, cause my Scottish DNA comes from "The Jews".
I've read books by Alice Miller who wrote about the psychology of Hitler and basically the people of that era She is truly worth reading and could herself have been a victim of Hitlers Germany In short basically she stated in a few of her books that there were 2 doctor's from the late 1800s who influenced good parenting back then The way to raise children according to them anyway was literal brutality I'm sure many never would read something like this however there were people who unfortunately came from the ignorance of that book
@@myztroogeegibson3568No! That belief is one of many anti semitism tropes against Jews.
Like you I discovered Sowell late in my life. He’s clearly one of the great thinkers of the past 50 years.
True
Greatest of all time.
He sure is. Have heard about him for the first time around 16 or 17 years ago.
My Mother introduced me to Thomas Sowell over 25 years ago. His articles were always thought provoking and very well written. His new book, "Black Rednecks and White Liberals," is well researched and clearly written. I am so pleased you are investigating this material. You are correct in saying Mr. Sowell is believable and trustworthy. He is a national treasure.
If I could give this 50 thumbs-up I would. Thank you, Van, for putting forth so many of Thomas Sowell's lectures & readings. I wish all his books were required reading in all public schools. I am a 78-yr-old white lady who likes to wear colorful tie-dyes & sing gospel music. I have been a Christian since age 39. So very interesting & compelling to watch how you react to different people's perspectives. We are all on a journey & I often resonate with some of your reactions. If we open up our hearts & minds our attitudes can evolve & become more mature & loving toward one another.
Thomas Sowell is a wealth of knowledge in so many areas.
It is criminal that Thomas Sowell isn’t more well known
So true. Dr. Sowell is an intellectual giant. He deals in FACTS and I've learned so much from his works ranging from economics to world history.
It’s planned.
Yet we know most of Bell's theories. It's been incorporated into everything, everywhere. And its terrible.
Sharing his wisdom is one way to make a difference.
Some of us have been banging on the drums for decades, trying to get more people to listen to Thomas' wisdom.
Strangely, groups like BLM don't want anyone to listen to him. They consider him a traitor to Black Americans. It's insane, but that's why his voice hasn't been carried to more young Black minds. It's a shame, because he's shining example of greatness for everyone... not just Black Americans! He's truly amazing!
Van, you have no reason for an apology. You are learning! We are all here for this journey with you. Some of us will assist in helping you and some will be here learning as well. Much love ❤️
Mr. Sowell knows his stuff. Been reading his books & listening to his history videos for quite some time as I have always had an avid interest in various cultures & history. I am an ethnic German that is at least 4 generations deep born in the Americas. My grandfather told me quite a bit about my family’s history & German history as a whole. That was my first source of information on German history in particular as it relates to Germans outside of Germany. I currently own a 1913 Colt 1911 US Army service pistol. It was my great grandfather’s WWI service pistol. It has 18 little tic marks on it for every German killed with that weapon during his time engaged in trench warfare for the US Army, so I can certainly confirm that German Americans have been willing to fight against Germany. That willingness precedes the Nazi’s. My grandfather was completely willing to fight the Nazi’s during the Second World War. He was not of fighting age, however until the European conflict was basically over. He wound up fighting the Japanese in the pacific instead. I was also told that the majority of Germans with my last name would be found in Africa as my last name is very old & dates back to the Vandals. You can look up the Vandals & confirm that history as they are famous for successfully attacking the Roman Empire from North Africa. At the time I thought it was absurd that my last name would be most prevalent in Africa. The advent of Facebook, however, confirmed what my grandfather had told me. My understanding of Germans in America as it relates to race relations also mostly comes from what my grandfather had told me as a child & I haven’t found anything that really contradicts what he told me. I was told Germans didn’t have slaves in this country. They were all basically like the Amish until the depression. They didn’t do much of anything with outsiders. Business was done amongst family & extended family. The Great Depression changed that dynamic for a lot of German American families. Mine included as my family had to sell it’s cattle ranch in Syracuse NY & moved west to Arizona. I have been told plenty more about my family history that I would consider interesting but those are some of the more interesting nuggets that would pertain to the contents of this video.
Don’t feel left out. Most of us do not know our history. Love how Sowell makes it so relatable. Just watched his geographical explanation of Africa. The geography explains a lot.
You're correct. Thomas Sowell is a genius. He's an extraordinary intellectual but he is able to distill information that the masses will be able to understand.
My father was a marine in WW2 and my great grandparents were German immigrants that were ostracized for being German during WW2 and the German bakery’s that everyone in the neighborhood loved all of the sudden they wouldn’t step through the front door. Let me say my father was a strong intelligent man without a racist bone in his body.
Germans are not racist lol, the history books were written by the real racists. How do you not even know your own history I don't get it? Whatever
A lot of German immigrant families fall in a particular category where they didn't take part in the slave trade, my family didn't come over till 1904, an a lot in fact fought against their former countrymen in the World Wars. Yet we're not allowed to take pride in our heritage because we will be labeled nazi's and white supremacist....
Can’t believe that.
@@francinefreeman9472 believe what?
Yep. The world has been lied to so badly
Thanks for sharing… I’ll post this to my blog!
😎💪🏾
The smartest people say things in the simplest forms so everyone can understand. This man is brilliant and brave.
It's amazing how articulate and simply Thomas Sowell explains extremely complex issues. About a year ago i started watching his videos.
I love Thomas Sewells philosophy’s. Van Hall, thank you.
That temple taper haircut is a military haircut; the sides are shaved to discourage lice and keep you cool, and the top is a bit longer to pad your head from the weight of a helmet. [Edit] the mustache is also military regulation; beards were to be shaved and moustaches kept no wider than nostril width so they didn't interfere with gas masks. Hitler survived gas attacks during WWI and reportedly fought with valor, so it was part of his militaristic persona.
Lice tends to hang out in the places
Where men DONT lose hair.🤔 The blood could be richer?
Eisenhowers mother wasnt German, or if she was, she was mixed.
If German americans fought against slavery, I wouldn't be surprised if she had ABOLITIONIST ancestors...she looked biracial..I was shocked 😉
Hitlers mustache was also popular with the 1920s hipsters..and Charlie Chaplin
He ruined the mustache, and Name Adolf
@@kathleenking47 Different lice.
Black women didn't GET LICE years ago,
simply because of Grease and Hot Comb
Today, we have to watch it, if we wear locks and braids
@@GrimrDirge lice, is lice...I never had it as a child, but got it as an adult wearing braids
👍👍
I am a native German (grew up and lived there til I was 24) and learned a lot about the Holocaust.
But I learned a lot more watching your video! I always was wondering how people could have let this happen and how so many citizens didn’t know about the concentration camps.
Thank you🙏
Side note : Americans are Americans to most Germans, not “Black” American/ White American.
I think the only people that refer to them as black or white Americans is Americans themselves. I’m from England, they’re just Americans to us too.
Die gelehrte Geschichte, ist nicht die ganze Wahrheit.
th-cam.com/video/ylKK6sPvJBE/w-d-xo.html
I can confirm this is also how we see Americans in Finland. No matter what is your skin color, as long as you are from America, you are American.
I asked myself how that could happened…until the covid crisis and the taken measures.
It’s about the used methods of propaganda, how willingly the Germans follow a strong lead and don’t resist, facing an (imaginary) enemy. willingly cooperate with the government without questioning. Defamation and oppression of people talking against.
Neighbors reported their neighbors for rule violations, police hunted kids down for sledging and nobody found that problematic, the city of essen installed a homepage where you can report anonymously your neighbors and this was used. People were policing other people to comply the rules, if they make sense or not doesn’t matter.
There was not much effort needed, imagine what is possible if the government intensified its efforts to a level the nazis did?
But hei, sorry… it was not only a German thing. You could observe that in most countries all over the world.
Agree too
Thank you for introducing Thomas Sowell. I never before heard of him. His work could really help to heal many wounds between people and nations. We are still the black sheep here on the planet - white and german. Peaceful greetings from Germany. 🙏🏻❤
Btw: his books are not available in german language alas.
Strictly anecdotal, but I am black and I decided to learn German. No other group of people has treated me with such... regular humanness and an esteem that I wasn't mature enough to handle at the time, as native born Germans. My teachers, language partners, couch surfers, and random German people I have met have all been so - not accepting, as they didn't seem to even see me as something different to be accepted... just good, solid people.
Also, if anyone is still reading, I don't know why us black people aren't quakers. They literally saved our lives during slavery time.
True: Quakers were opposed to slavery, but only from a biblical and religious standpoint during the 1800s. Modern Germans, unlike Americans are students and custodians of their history, recognizing the depth of damage unchecked fascism brings. Americans, meanwhile wish to continue to either deny or pasteurized the past to fit in some construct of unbridled exceptionalism. The very fantastical dogshit that is pseudo-intellectually forwarded by the likes of Sowell.
They invaded OUR continent so-called America! That's what I see, the Quakers referred to themselves as friends ( old english) & enemies as fiends....
Who do think their enemies were?🤔
Ummm from my research, observation, experiences & passion for the deepest roots of the truth...via first hand sources, earliest available records & information. The Quakers were immigrant, invading occupiers, & squatters who help only themselves and came poor, sick, hungry & needy! With a secret agenda....that includes a revised historical narrative of themselves....🫣🫣🫣
I'm an Army vet and my first duty station was in Germany. Maaaaaaaannnnnnnn, you spoke the truth. Germans love us as human beings; they righteously admire us and that inspired me to represent us to the upmost while there. FYI, Hitler did too; MOST of us were lied to about WWII.
@@damedan9389 Yeah. My aunt was stationed in Germany for a while. She and her daughter stayed for a little while longer just because it was so nice. I'm definitely thinking of going.
And to your second point... I got bored during the pandemic and was REALLY surprised at what I learned.
@@Verowatches my time in Germany was enlightening to say the least.
Listening to Thomas Sowell is like an instant IQ boost. You listen to him for 10 min you IQ jumps by at least 10 points. And you can get it for free on the internet.
There is no way to determine a video makes a person's IQ boost. Sowell would even say that's ridiculous...
@@brandoni241 the statement was rhetorical.
@Brad Sand unfortunately, it is not. TH-cam clips is how the majority in comment section learn anything because they refuse to read. See all the comments about how everyone is surprised they've never heard of Thomas Sowell until TH-cam. And these are people 30+ years old. It's because they don't read. I've read 2 books by Sowell. His books were on the list for my economics class. When I saw TH-cam videos with his work, I just figured someone is trying to make money off of cult republican following...
I hate that haircut on anybody as it reminds me of Hitler.
@@brandoni241 I don't disagree about the lack of understanding or the number of our fellow citizens who are woefully uninformed about important issues. I have no idea about what you are implying with the 'cult republican following' but I'm guessing it is somehow directed toward the tribalism of modern political parties in the US?
What an amazing mind--the curiosity, the talent for explaining--
Daaaaang. Mr. Sowell is a treasure.
I’ve spent years trying to get as many people as possible to listen to Thomas Sowell.
My mother was born of a German woman and a US military man after WWII. With regard to her mother, Mom said she asked her mom once how the Germans allowed Hitler to do what he was doing. All my grandmother would say was "he fed the people".
Shes got a point though. This happens even now in the poor communities in the US.
The same government that provides food stamps abuses the hell out of them in the projects. But their tummy is full, so they continue to allow it.
Yup. After WWI the sanctions were starving them. He got the economy back on track and was almost a messiah to them.
I’m not condoning anything but it really was that simple
@@goldenhate6649 and that is by design. Lifetime of dependence
One of the main reasons why he was so popular at the time was that he made good on his promises to create jobs, end the dependence on Jewish-owned banks, and thus end the insane inflation which was choking the country dry at the time due to the power of central banks.
Another point contributing to his popularity was the initiation of the transfer agreement.
@@nunyabiz012 Of course, all of that was only done through stealing and loans - it wasn't anything that could possibly be sustainable. Even the Anschluss of Austria was mainly concerned with getting access to Austrian gold. Another thing to take to heart when considering today's leaders - it's easy enough to spend someone else's money :)
I been watching for a couple weeks now enjoying both your music/culture reactions as well as the politics, but man you're earning that Subscribe today! You're GOAL is to introduce Thomas Sowell to more people?!? King mentality right there
Thomas Sowell is a Genius. He is so articulate... I love this man, we need more men like him.
Great info Brother thanks . All the very best frm England
I am one of those “people who don’t look like you”, but have been a great fan of Thomas Sowell, and Walter E. Williams, who was a close associate of Dr. Sowell before his untimely, or at least unfortunate death. Both of these men should become a larger part of our personal reading, and our public school curriculum.
These men, and others like them, with so much to share with our current and future people should be brought to a platform such as yours. These gentlemen have taught important subjects at some of the most prestigious universities in this nation. The internet has brought their thoughts and beliefs to the “masses”.
I bumped into your channel on my way to more of Dr. Sowell’s work, and I have enjoyed it very much. Having been born in 1948, I learned a lot about WW 2 from uncles and fathers of friends who were in various theaters of the war. I will shut up and push the subscribe button.
Best regards.
we found out us and our children are learning history that is about 70% false, new history books are coming with the hard core truth so everything we know we have to forget and relearn.. might be a good chance we will see more of Sowell in the future here right in the schools
Please don't shut up. :)
I look like him, just a lot lighter.
I always wondered why Thomas Sowell wasn't lauded in the black community whenever a list of prominent black leaders were mentioned. I've known and listen to him since the 1990's so it never occurred to him that he wasn't well known to them. He's brilliant and a national treasure. So glad that he's getting the attention he's earned.
Thomas Sowell is very eloquent and clear!! A true scholar!!
Love that you are bringing awareness , I’ve been reading Thomas Sowell and watching his interviews for years now. This information needs to reach the masses to get an understanding of our history not the narratives that we get from uneducated individuals and the media.
When I see your channel grow by 30,000 plus since you started this, that is your sign to keep going. Sharing is caring
I believe the true definition of a genius, is someone who can take highly complex material and explain it or package it in a way that anyone can use it.
Someone said "if you cant explain it in simple terms, you dont understand it well enough"
Of course there's other things that go into making someone a genius, such as genetics and environment.
@@rhondaallan4680 genetics has nothing to do with it
@@Gebri3l As a christian I do believe that genetics has a lot to do with it, that those who God has joined for a purpose, have gifts. And I know that two smart people who make babies, and is grounded and sensible, raise kids that do very well academically. I think that if Condoleza Rice and Thomas Sowell had a kid 30 years ago, their kid would mop the floor with most people in academics. Parents gifts from God, do carry over somewhat 80% of the time. And I believe the times that it does not, it is God who intervenes because people make wrong choices, or God choose people for different purposes. As it does with athletes, we have had many kids of superathleteparents making babies, who have become superstars very effortless, same thing with academics. It gives some an easier road to travel to get where their parents want them to go, to fulfill their dreams for themselves. Only question is if it is their kids dream or even a priority in their life, and how God plan our destiny for us individually. Does not mean anybody support hilters lebensborn thought, just stating a fact. Would perhaps advance human evolution, but ungodly and wrong. Gods plan is that we find love, and we stay in love throughout life, and always do right. Does not change the fact that if I were to make a baby with a very smart lady, chances are that my child would not be as smart as a kid of a smart lady who made a baby with a smarter man than me.
@@xXFr0stW0lfXx einstein actually said that
We are all learning. You are so kind, humble, and open about it. Thank you so very much for this.
thank you for sharing this. As a German American, i am always looked at differently. we are always portrayed as the villain or bad. my family was one of so many to disapprove of hatred and fought hard against it. yet we bear the Burdon of this psycho and what he did. this is exactly the history I've been waiting for to shine light on us as a people who did good as well. fun fact, i married an adopted Jewish woman and i catch a lot of flack from some of her family, especially hearing " all the Germans were willing participants in this" so thank you for exposing the other side of things. maybe this will be the beginning of the end of a fearful / hatred of Germans. My roots have always preached tolerance and acceptance. and now it seems to be proven throughout, we are not inherently bad people, but a people of good.
TH-cam:"DIE VERBORGENE GESCHICHTE" TEIL1 UND TEIL2
Hitler was a fake story. The Haitians are the Germans that they were hunting. Look at Haiti now. Ya have all of our Names. All you have to do is search where the German were fleeing to. It was t South America but Haiti!
A lot of US Jews have the worst view on Germans possible. It’s ironic because the Jews that managed to survive and stayed in Germany do not hold that kind of resentment. And even many Jewish people from Israel moved to Germany over the last decade.
Saying that all Germans knew what was done to Jewish people and supported it is as ignorant and stupid as saying that all Americans supported the Iraq war. Or Trump. Or Biden. You’ll always have some supporters, some who are unpolitical and some who are against it. A government never needed 100% of their people to agree with something to push through with it. A small but loud minority of supporters plus a lot of intimidation and propaganda is usually enough.
Here's another thing they don't teach you: when you hear about Czechoslovakia at 3:08, - the "Slov" part comes from "slav" which refers to the Slavic people: The ethnicity of the eastern European people in what is now Poland, Ukraine, Slovakia, and neighboring areas. During the middle ages, so many Slavs were captured and imprisoned that the name of the entire ethnicity "Slav" became the word "Slave"
Thanks for this information. At first I was a bit dubious about this because 1. I’m always interested in the etymology of a word and 2. I’ve always thought the word slave derived from the Latin servus meaning servant. But I’m always ready to ‘stand corrected.
So white people enslaved their own, too. I'll remember that the next time some ignorant ass says some stupid mess about Blacks owning slaves. At least it wasn't chattel slavery.
you both right
Correct 💯

Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. His books should be on EVERYONES shelves
Thomas Sowell is an absolute legend. The fact that society promotes grifters like Al Sharpton over men like him says a lot about the state of it.
Al Sharpton is BOULE that’s why
Al Sharpton is a good christian man.
@@rob9528 he’s a good sellout Boule agent

He's a no-nonsense man he extracted a point in his documentaries tells his story workout caring what anybody thinks he just tells the truth and lets it fall where it may
I decided to follow you today because everytime i come across your videos my eyes are opened
Thank you!! Very informative
All people of all colors need to know of Thomas Sowell. He is brilliant, & knows his history. Love this man.
Yes. I heard about him few years ago.
"The government " does not want you to learn history.
If you do, "they" cannot use the same playbook of dirty tricks.
All Americans should be taught about him, but our schools are way too radical for that.
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.
Love this man!
..."All People of Colors", I find this statement somewhat pathetic given the author and subject matter, just tell me where do people of colors come from, on which continent can they be found, which country is called colors! Sad, Sad, Sad.
I just put two and two together when he said there was a number of Germans in the Antebellum South who opposed Slavery openly. And I immediately thought of the character Dr King Schultz from the movie Django Unchained. I always wondered why Tarantino chose to make that character German.
Woahhh thats such a cool connection. Tarantino def does his homework
Good assessment
sadly, even Thomas Sowell fails to grasp just how big of a lie the civil war narrative was as it had nothing to with slavery at all. It's was all about State Rights, hence that's what the Confederate flag was, the 13 original colonies (the 13 stars) - they had formed the federal government as a means to represent the 13 colonies however should the federal government overstep it's authority, they had every right to disband the government. This would be akin to you hiring a lawyer and saying, that you have 13 companies that you want to run under one umbrella and Mr. Lawyer, you are in charge but if you start going nuts, Im going to fire you. Everyone agrees until Mr. Lawyer becomes too powerful and well, the rest as they say is history. Folks have no clue that blacks after the civil war returned back to the very same "plantations" that they were worked at prior to the war. This was done of their own free will and accord. Some blacks even gave up their life savings to the South to help fight against the war. You all have no idea at just how much you've been played.
@@arthurmorganclips6706 No, not everyone knows this. Most Americans believe the Civil War was fought for slavery and had nothing to do with State Rights. Or some believe that State Rights were a very small faction of the reason for the war.
@@The_Zilli so, the states that wanted to leave the union had to write a declaration of why they were doing so. They mention slavery immediately.... like right away.
I really enjoy your channel and content. You do a great job!
Love your channel bro keep it up!!
I have so much respect for your willingness to listen, read and learn. There is a middle ground and people like you will pave the way.
I've been following Thomas Sowell for the better part of forty years and the knowledge I've gained from him is immense.
Great day Thanks for the information Really
Thanks for learning and sharing history
Thomas is a great shining beacon, love listening to him!
Almost brought tears to my eyes that you didn't know this information. I have preached in front of some PPH buildings and its heart crushing.
I didn't even know. Wow...I just thought of them all as Nazi and not much else.
Great show.....keep it up
0:56 great reading list you have there, two of the best Sowell and Peterson ❤ two of my top 10
Imagine defining a culture by 12 years when you have a history thats over 1000 years old.
Amen 💯
Unfortunately, that is how narrow minded people do things.
@@robertqueberg4612 Not just narrow minded people, redefining a people's history has been tool of Government
Indoctrination for centuries.
The Romans, Greeks did it , Especially Alexander the Great
And America did it to two Cultures primarily the Native Americans and the Africans.
So sometimes it's done deliberately
By very intelligent people.
I'm not so sure that's even accurate
I don't know who defines the German Culture by 12yrs that doesn't even make any sense.
When the Germanic Tribes had the exact same historical reputation with the Roman Empire (America Being the modern Equivalent of the Roman Empire) They themselves took on the Monicker of the 3rd Reich
The 1st Reich 1871 and the significance of the can be traced even further back to Germania
And the Holy Roman Empire
Germanic Barbaricum aka
Barbarians ... This perception is not new and far exceeds a 12yr span.
@@Peakfreud We were talking bout Hitler.
You got that right! Not a single black person I know at work knows of Thomas Sowell. But they all know most rappers, football and basketball players and black celebrities. I finished reading his "Intellectuals and Society" recently. Great read.
I really appreciate your level headed and balanced review. It's very refreshing ❤
Thanks for using your platform to introduce Dr. Sowell to more people for he is a towering figure on the American landscape and the world at large. A national treasure.
The difference between the reparations of Holocaust victims and that suggested here in the U.S. is that the people responsible in Germany (German society/Government) compensated people that were actually imprisoned in concentration camps. These two are not the same. What is suggested here is that people that aren't responsible are being asked to compensate those that weren't enslaved. And part of this is asking people who have ancestry that died freeing slaves paying people who have ancestry that were never enslaved. Try figuring out how that makes sense.
it doesn't!
This is the essence of the issue.
The Nazi people took all of the positions of all Jewish people. They took their businesses, for little money. They took all personal possessions from the Jewish people. I am reading The Dressmakers of Aushwitz now. Very sad how the Jewish people were treated.
Also most Americans are descendants of people who came to America after slavery ended. People seem to forget this fact. Also at issue is that a percentage of the black population also immigrated to the U.S. after slavery ended.
So, if you were imprisoned now, stripped of all assets and rights, you would recover within a few years of release?
Keep in mind that afterward, we won't educate your children, you can't get credit, most companies won't hire you, and friends/family cannot help you.
Consider this in effect for 100 years from release. You don't think that by the end of that 100 years, maybe it would be nice of someone to finally help your grandkids get going on track again?
I am not in favor of forced compensation, but I do acknowledge the need for voluntary help to others. I do accept in the long term, they endured something and it should not just be forgotten.
Go out and see how many young men lack a father figure. See how stressed and broken some of them are. They grew up with nothing and have no idea how to start living. Look at some of the places they had to live or stories they tell you about early life.
I help them because I can. No one else is reaching out. It should be voluntary to help anyone, but don't pretend there is no need that has been created.
I agree that more people need to hear this. Been personally saying this since the 80s but so many people didn't want to take the time to learn things that would challenge their entire belief system.
You are great! I see you as very smart. Smart people are curious don't apologize for your learning style. I discovered you by accident and I will come back. You let us in on your process and it's interesting.
Love watching you. Thanks.
Everyone i've shared these videos with are all learning with us and enjoying real history!! Thank you Van, and special thank you to Mr. Sowell . Imagine how many lives could've been saved if this stuff was taught in school
Everyone needs to do their own homework, don't just believe everything you hear even from someone as knowledgeable as Thomas Sowell. Reading is fundamental to us growing as a Nation.
Amen study to show yourself approval
Agree.
💯
I think more studying will reinforce Sowell's work.
Love your reaction videos
I have been following all videos that have Thomas Sowell speaking on so many subjects. His voice shines through as someone that speaks the truth. I can feel it deep inside myself. It doesn't hurt that his voice is very easy to listen to and is never monotone. I never feel that his subject material is influenced by any bias. That is why he is so powerful, his words penetrate any previous teachings and all biases. He is a gift from the "source of everything" to this world!
Dr. Thomas Sowell is the most intelligent man I have ever heard speak. I own and have read and reread many of his books.
Now you know WHY some of us in America are conservative and hate abortion.
Hooray for my state of Oklahoma finally making it illegal altogether.
We have to stay vigilant on these issues though, and continue to defend these stances through reasoning. Because I saw a significant number of residents cursing my state for passing it without them knowing about it.
@@Gutslinger Abortions were illegal when my grandmother and great grandmother were young. - And from the stories they, their siblings and cousins told me, I know that it won't stop women from getting abortions. - And even a pastor will pay to get it done in secret, if his daughter get pregnant with a man married to somebody else.
All it does is making it dangerous as hell. Especially if it's combined with a abstinence only approach to sex ed.
But if that's what you want, then congratulations
@@hildajensen6263 Heresay and hypotheticals don't mean much. The pastor would still be wrong and should be removed from his position in that hypothetical situation. The law may not stop them all, but it'll still save many many innocent lives. Some will, of course, probably move to another corrupt state that allows it.
But if a person is evil enough to kill a helpless unborn baby, then it's only right for their life to be in jeopardy as well.. An eye for an eye.
That is what I want. I value the lives of the innocent who can't defend themselves.
@@Gutslinger Just to clarify your position, because I'm curious at to what kind of society you want to live in.
What is your opinion on contraceptives? - Are they permissible at all. If yes, what would the rules be?
I am conservative, but I'd still apply pro-abortion laws to some extent, like rape, incest, etc.
Although, here where I live (Texas), even if you are molested, you cannot have an abortion.
It is about Facts not Feelings! Great video!
I think I have basic history of WW2 but still apprec Sowell's take know it will be distinct. He never fails to teach more than any class I have sat thru. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
I thank god that I grew up in a house where my father’s favorite intellectuals were Drs Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and Shelby Steel among others. Look up Walter Williams. He and Dr Sowell were best of friends.
Love this man, I believe, probably one of the smartest humans walking the earth today. At least in the top 5.
Don't forget Noam Chomsky !
I love that you are learning all of this. I love that you are open minded, listen with integrity, and seek truth.
I don't look like you but always love getting new insights so thank you.
