      No such thing as black culture, it’s a sub-culture. All Americans should take part in the American culture instead of creating sub-cultures which is fundamentally unamerican.
      They would see that the only culture there is, the American culture is worth actually participating in. Otherwise, if you have a separate
      culture, then you are not American any longer. Because, we have only One culture. The American one and we should unify under it.

      To me the wonderful things about Dr. Sowell are these:
      1. He is an experienced, professional, accomplished academic who is fully competent in the accepted principles and methods of research.
      2. He is uniquely dedicated to objective facts as his criteria for forming conclusions. He is not swayed by preexisting assumptions nor does he work to support an agenda. He follows objective facts, always.
      3. He is fluent in professional academic language but is also gifted at translating his ideas and findings into clear, concise, common language that lay people can easily understand. He has the easy humility that is a characteristic of the very competent. He has no need to impress or intimidate with esoteric language but instead communicates very effectively with any audience. I think he must be a gifted teacher.
      4. My favorite thing about Dr. Sowell is that he has a wicked, sly sense of humor that I imagine is the result of years of dealing with the insufferable academic "elite" and the equally insufferable press.
      Dr. Sowell is unique in academia for his steadfast objectivity, has paid a high price for his integrity and has earned his place in the hearts of so many as "a national treasure".
      Tremendous respect and admiration to you, Dr. Sowell. ❤

I remember being in the Bronx in the summer and someone would hook turn tables and speakers up on the playground of the school yard on the basket ball court and the entire neighborhood would come out and party to the classics and it was all positive, no fights ,especially no shooting just good fun. How far we have regressed instead of progress, to know that I experienced the GOLDEN AGE and was at the cradle of Hip Hop in the Bronx and to see where it has evolved is sad

      He really nailed it about holding people back. I used to volunteer teaching chess in a couple of recreation centers in neighborhoods that were mostly black, some whites. I'm here to say right now, ALL of the black kids absolutely understood chess, and couldn't wait to get started. All the white kids tended to be squirrely, we all have a lot of ADD and that, but they had more difficulties with the concepts of consequences and planning ahead than African American kids did. Most of the mothers who came to pick their kids up would say, "What are you doing playing chess? That's not for you. You need to get out there and play football." or my favorite, "Why you trying to be white?" This is a game that was invented in North Africa. Anyway...their own mothers were doing this. We already had a group of kids who were going to league tournaments and winning money at the age of nine. But their moms and their friends were discouraging them. Wanted them to go join the gladiator games of football. Don't get me started on football.

    When I was a young white man and first heard rap I fell in love with it. The flow, the beat and the bass. I installed amplifiers and huge bass speakers in my ride. As time went on and censorship standards changed it morphed into something else. Death and violence, being strapped and degradation of women. Now that I'm older I can't relate to what it has become now. My best friend of 36 years who happens to be a black man and grew up in a Chicago Inner City taught me so much about his culture and what it meant to be a black man in America. In our twenties we used to go out on Friday nights and go clubbing. The music was fun and free back then but today's music is not the same. When my son was a young teen him and all his buddies called each other the n-word and they thought it was cool until one day he approached my friend and said hey n word and explained that it was okay because him and his friends say it all the time. My friend read him the Riot Act and explained to him why this was never okay to do. My friend had been around my son since he was a baby and he took his words to heart and learned a valuable lesson that day.

And I agree with everything he is saying but also whites who identify with the Black culture.

    We are getting there. Developing character is like an addiction. You work on it all day everyday until the day you die. Parents know the job is never done, because we love our children unconditionally. Parenting yourself is much more difficult, but if necessary it can be done. Those that can, do well and become good parents. Those that don’t, the cycle repeats. And when the failing members of society reproduce at higher rates than good parents…society is hampered severely. That’s the beef of the elite. It doesn’t give them a right to eliminate the people, because they are no better for it. So it really is individual behavior and choices that really make a difference. Respectfully, responsibility is exactly what Sowell is going to teach you Van. But there’s much more to learn after taking on responsibility. Just the tip of the iceberg. That’s where the characteristics of college educated individuals gain their advantage. I’m college educated, taking responsibility was expected, without question. But being a drug addict, getting turned out like a whore because of my decisions, I’ve had to grow up, but I know I can teach HOW at any level, to rise above, yada yada. But I’m telling you. Responsibility is just the tip of the iceberg. Teaching is transcendence, learning is too, but we all need to teach the truth to each other AND share the information with abandon. Because some will guard their success, but that is not the way, and that’s what addiction and the lifestyle, the PEOPLE, good people, taught me. I believe in my cause and it is enough to sustain me and many others around me. But even with perfect responsibility, there is still much to learn AND much to teach.

    Another great person in black culture was Marva Collins, who founded the private school for inner city black kids, which was called (I may be wrong but I'm sure someone will correct me) Westside School in Chicago. CHICAGO! Her students academically kicked every public school's butt.
    And as an aside, I grew up with old-school Motown where songs were about love, marriage, heartbreak etc. They weren't about body parts, hoes, killing, drugs, and gang culture. Today's music is not uniting. It's toxic.

    The banner “Is This True?” has guided my life for the past three decades. A gentleman in my group at work surprised me with that query during a staff meeting when I had passed along a corporate decision and the rationale put forth to support it. I was somewhat taken aback and realized that these three words are the ultimate litmus test for processing what you hear or read. It requires you to step back and access whether you’re hearing a truth, a belief, or a theory. It’s even more important as a self-filter, to check if what you put forth passes the test.

    What we're talking about here isn't organic and local black culture. It's specifically mainstream black popular culture that's destructive and dumb, just as mainstream white popular culture is destructive and dumb.
    The food, traditional music, stories and history, community cohesion, etc... This is where culture truly lives for all peoples of all ethnicities. Not on tv, movies, pop music, celebrities, politicians, their ideologue followers, or the grifters who delight in stirring the pot and muddying up the waters for attention and money.
    By far the most effective divider of people in the 21st century is political ideology. Race isn't even the arena with political ideologues, except in the fictional tv shows and movies they make.
    To add, I've read every book I can get my hands on by Mr Sowell. He is truly a modern philosopher on par with the any of the greats in his ability to see the truth through the fog.
    Thank you for introducing him to more people.
