    I love the fact that Breakfast club doesn't just interview rappers and entertainers but also brings us interesting people with a lot of knowledge.

      SV Kane with rappers and entertainers yes, not with professionals, intellectuals etc. They BC just can't keep up with those people.

      @Keller Mulumba
      I liked Outliers. I got into that book around a time I needed to hear that message. I lost my mom and found it hard to cope in school and even failed that semester. Without going into details (because I want other people to enjoy the book as well) reading that book and the way he presented how mediocre people achieve things you’d except privileged people to attain inspired me. Anyway, at the time, it helped me see things in a new light, and eventually, I overcame my circumstances and graduated with my B.A. Of course, that is nothing compared to the success stories he describes in his book but, each one presents a unique aspect to success. You don’t have to be a genius to achieve your goals, you just have to practice more.

    • @RationallyMe
      @RationallyMe 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Char really is a simpleton. He lacks the ability of analytical and critical thinking. I'll give him credit for being a reader--which accounts for lots of his success--but he only regurgitates the information, without self-analysis or in-depth examination of the ideas. Char was sincerely heartbroken when Gladwell was on TBI and said he had changed his opinion on some of his analysis in his books, because Char had taken those ideas as gospel without applying any personal insight. Sadly, I think critical thinking is something the brain has to be trained to do from a young age and continually developed over a lifetime. It may be too late for Char in this regard.

    @patchworkbluez1606 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    This a fascinating interview. I'm from the old school, middle-class Black population. What Charlamagne and Malcolm are talking about is something we called "social graces" when I was growing up. Social graces were about learning what was appropriate to do; say; wear and when it was appropriate. I learned it at home and had it reinforced at school; at church and at play. So many of today's young people have none of what I had and so they have learn things on the fly or get humiliated because they don't know. Governments cut after-school activities first where children might such things. Some of today's parents feel nobody should discipline or speak about their angel/devil children. Or parents live far away from their support systems where children might be exposed to proper manners/social graces. Or parents have to earn a living and simply don't have time to teach their children. These are some of the reasons why young are the way they are today. I wonder what I can do as an old-school, Black elder looking at all these problems. I don't think it's enough to complain about them without having some solutions in mind.

    • @ToyiaMac18
      @ToyiaMac18 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      patchwork bluez This is so true and as a 23 yr old who came from a pretty well off black family, these are things we are taught from birth. How to operate in this society is kind of 2nd nature to us but it also is a downfall for me because I didn't REALLY know about the true struggles of the black community Until recently, because I was sheltered from those hardships.

    • @patchworkbluez1606
      @patchworkbluez1606 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Guess what? You can teach yourself about the Black community. Libraries have books about us. There are lectures you can attend. With the internet, you can go online and order books about us too. This may sound silly but first-hand knowledge is always a good thing. So you could hangout at senior citizen centers and nursing homes. They're always looking for volunteers. Trust me, you'll hear some great stories from our elders there. I hesitate to suggest this but if religion is your thing, church is another place to find us, too. In this age of political action, joining a rally or a march or a visit to your state or city representative is another place to meet your elders. I hope I've been helpful.

I want to build a community that can stand on its own regarding the exclusion we face from the South African economy and that grows inter generational knowledge, mores and wealth.

      Very good report. You're exactly correct. That's the way it was back then, blacks had their own culture that was great because we were disciplined by our own leadership to become better citizens. Even though we had little money, treated disrespectful, we had the ability to stand above our tormentors with dignity and courage.

    This is an impressive interview. I had not heard of this author before and now I have just added him to my podcast and reading list and its a long list. He was write about the reading thing and working in the time to do it. One of the reasons why reading has increased because we have awakened to the fact that we have been miseducated and now we have to catch up and make sure our children do the same.

    There is so much Gladwell is educating AfriCan America’s on in this video. See, based on the comments here, FAR TOO MANY Black people are looking at what they interviewers are doing or how they are taking Gladwell off subject. That’s not as important as the jewel that Gladwell is offering. I guarantee you that many of these criticisms come from people who has never read One book by Malcom. There is so much relevance particularly at 29:10 area and 35:-40:00. Sadly too many black people are bent and conditioned toward negativity and generational ignorance. The cycles can be broken but when it’s Not you end up with severely broken communities for generations to come.

The big BONG theory is scientisms pride and joy. But it's all speculation. No human was there to see it so it's a guess. At least we used to have scientist's. Like Einstein when he PROOVED his theory of relatively by wiewing several solar eclipses. Scientism is an idea holds no weight. They just talk about things they can't prove and believe.

Please also consider having Gregory Porter on to talk about his music (your audience who may not know who he is yet will love his sound and those who do know him will be stoked for you to have him on). Also, get someone like Ray Kurzweil on to discuss the Singularity and Robin DiAngelo to discuss White Fragility. Keep expanding minds!
