I lost a debate with Mr. Sowell a little more than a decade ago. He so thoroughly beat me that it made me stop and rethink everything that I thought I knew. He changed my life and I'm forever grateful.
NONAMESLEFTNONE... fyi... it's the Papacy that promotes Climate Change... they are the Deep State. They are the power that is "subverting" society behind the scenes. They are like an Aspen Grove with many trees but one root system. The Illuminati, the U.N., the EU, the WEF, the CFR, CIA, NSA, the IMF, the Federal Reserve, the "banksters," the Club of Rome, the Council of 300, the Bilderbergers, the Trilateral Commission, Hollywood, and the Mainstream Media are just some of the trees that make up that grove. They are using the Hegelian Dialectic to achieve their goals (problem, reaction, solution). And as Catechism 2188 shows, part of their solution for society's problems is a Sunday law. That's also why they promote Climate Change. It's about getting non-religious people on board with a Sunday law for the sake of lowering carbon emissions and saving the planet: adventmessenger.org/over-650-catholic-organization-world-wide-are-working-to-implement-the-popes-green-sunday-law/ If you go to www.anym.org/pdf/National_Sunday_Law.pdf you can read a free pdf Bible study that talks about the coming conflict between God's seventh-day Sabbath vs. the Pope's man-made Sunday sacredness. It identifies the two beasts of Revelation 13, the anti-Christ, and what the Mark of the Beast is all about and how to avoid getting it. Btw... if you are not convinced about the Jesuits and the Vatican... did you know both of Trump's nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court went to the same elite Jesuit high school in Bethesda, MD? www.nytimes.com/2018/07/10/us/kavanaugh-gorsuch-georgetown-prep.html Think about the power it takes to pull something like that off. And Trump's latest appointment to the Supreme Court (Amy Barrett) is also Catholic. The Papacy is looking to implement their social teaching called "the common good." It's ideology is Collectivist in nature and is opposed to the American concept of Individualism. If you're still not buying the Papacy is the Deep State... go into Google images and type "Vatican City snake head audience hall." As you look at that picture... think about where the Pope is sitting when he talks to the audience. If you're looking for more Red Pill knowledge about the global elite, Dr. Walter Veith is a great resource.

But, like with covid, if something is brought up in the political arena, ppl generally distrust anything that is brought up on said topic. I believe Sowell s economic and social positions and theories are spot on. I don't agree with his views about climate change and what is causing it

In the school where I teach, where we're talking about Black History Month, I'm going to show the first six minutes of this video to my students as an introduction to Sowell, a man they'll never hear about otherwise.
@@stoicone149 I'd love to but I'm a science teacher so I can't fully justify it. I justified showing six minutes by emphasizing how Sowell espoused facts and evidence, which is totally the scientific method!
"It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong." - Thomas Sowell
Try these truths... Regardless of skin color all Republicans supported and then reduced black unemployment, poverty, welfare dependency and unjust incarnation to lowest levels in modern history. Tell us that ALL white people are the racists?... don't get me wrong systemic racism clearly exist... to deny it is disingenuous and discredits the truth..... which is why we (reasonable people from the left and right) are in a battle that is not understood from either side..... quotas and affirmative action, welfare dependency promotion, abortion promotion, blocking of school choice/vouchers/charter schools in certain minority dominated areas with poor literacy, police union collusion with district attorneys and mayors to under or overcharge officers, poor policing and prosecuting in minority communities allowing gangs and criminal elements to ruin neighborhoods, single mother promotion policies.... ALL DEMOCRATIC PARTY policies and initiatives... not ALL white or Orange people... meanwhile Democrats selected Biden who supported the 1994 crime bill, gave a eulogy and praise for KKK top recruiter and supports the above racist policies. That's not even to mention the history of the Republican party before modern times where we white Republicans supported civil rights for our entire political history.
When i tried to continue homeschooling, i was ordered i had to pay 100.00 for a standard test. My daughter was not yet in 3rd but was told to go, til the next test as i had no funds to pay at that time. She was reading the American Medical Journal, at that time and was tested in the top 2% of the region, as her mom and she had fun learning. Yet they gave her a 2nd mmr shot , because they could not find her shot records from another state .she threw up for 14 days through that test thereafter.....I have had to go through nightmare after nightmare of this awful system of permission....or "cannot hear" bullying. It ruined my daughter and my entrepreneur venture and sabatoged a child to do half their work after school and weekends for various reasons, along with she would not communicate /speak to me, as before, thereafter.
I’m a black teen in New York City and I’ve spent elementary and middle school in a charter school... The knowledge I learned from that charter school helped me land a spot in one of the specialized high schools - Brooklyn Tech. Now I’m a junior and using those critical thinking skills I learned from charter school, I’ve been able to first deflect indoctrination with reasoning and now by studying Sowell and others I can refute the indoctrination with facts.

"The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is. He confuses it with feeling." ~Thomas Sowell
"It is not merely that Johnny can’t read, or even that Johnny can’t think. Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is, because thinking is so often confused with feeling in many public schools."
Blessed to have been a part of this, but even more blessed to have stumbled across the works of the great Thomas Sowell at a young age. I am not dramatizing it when I say that it changed my life.
Great job Eric, everyone involved did great. This will be one of the classics on Thomas Sowell. Really proud of you that you were a big part of it. I follow you on the blue bird, @everyhuematters. I've been sharing this with everyone I know since you posted. As was said below, we all have to do our part to spread his work and others who follow him. Thanks.
"Racism isn't dead, but it is on life support - kept alive by politicians, race hustlers, and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as 'racist'" ~Thomas Sowell
Particular white people are SO obssessed with the word racist and with being labled a racist. Your ARROGANT ENTITLED PRIVILEGE prevents you from accepting the fact that it is YOUR actions and YOUR words that lead you to being labeled a racist. Your actions. Your words. Ohhh no, you're arrogant entitled privilege insists that the targets of racism are the blame for YOUR racism. Like spoiled cry babies. If you don't want to be labeled a racist then quit acting like one. Sowell subscribes to right wing conservative idiology and provides white people all the excuses they need to take no responsibility for their own actions and also dismiss the culpability of their slave-owning ancestors. Making him a national treasure for white people in denial.
I was so glad to see this name trending on Twitter a few years back when Sowell decided to "retire" from writing full-time. This year, I think, he is 90 years old. My children will get a steady diet of his works as they become teenagers. I hope that they will be blessed by his work as it has been a blessing to me.
I decided to finish a college degree that I had begun 20 years before, and I chose Economics in large part to the influence of Thomas Sowell. I believe the greatest lesson I have learned from him was to evaluate the evidence as it is presented. I often find when I have found areas where I have disagreed with Thomas Sowell's ideas it was because I wanted to not accept what he said, not because I had objectively listened to the arguments and decided. Regardless if your children embrace his ideas as you have, I bet they will still benefit from the positive outcomes you received from his work as they will probably have a positive effect on you and that will roll down hill. Maybe when they get to the age of rebellion, you can forbid all the intellectuals that you actually agree with so their rebellion will naturally lead them right into their arms, ha ha......
@Myth Tree There are many black men like him. Who hold the same values. They just don't have a big a platform as him, and so you never hear about them.
As a young woman living in a third world Country in Africa, I’m deeply grateful from the bottom of my heart to be able to have access to such treasure of knowledge for FREE.
Listen to a man who cares not for what color a person is but the amounts of Integrity and Honesty that person displays. A wise man who is fearless and refuses to be intimidated nor compromised in his deeply researched opinions. Many of todays politicians would greatly benefit from the integration of his standards if they would only integrate them into their own lives. Much respect and admiration to a great American...
Thomas Sowell changed alot of ways I reason with life. For several years his commentaries have been useful guide in my decision making. As the saying goes: facts don't care about our feelings.
@@katrinaisalwayscorrectunfortunately if people don't think like you do today you are belittled, attacked verbally and sometimes physically. Think like me or else!

I wish him health, happiness, and a long life beyond his already fruitful life as a nonagenarian. Thank you Mr. Sowell, and we sure love you and your work Thomas! 🫡👏
Have you read his teacher - Milton Friedman? That bosom of Arabia, is it some place where make tons of money? If this is the case - could You kindly translate these two authors into an excellent Arabic as the texts deserve? Put it on TH-cam in various lengths to attract different audiences?

@@jordan2d2 Sowell belongs to the capitalist class of temple money changers. Capitalist greed has destroyed the traditional family for the working class.
I discovered Thomas Sowell at the age of 29 while obtaining my PhD. The great tragedy is that his work has been suppressed (dare I say intentionally) for decades. It is life changing to accept that you and you alone are responsible and capable of accomplishing things, and to throw away the victim mentality.
@@spencerantoniomarlen-starr3069 He never published anything in a Socialist or Communist journal of any kind I've ever seen. He's not in Marxist Internet Archive either. I've never heard of him claim to be part of any kind of workers or black organization either. Anyone can read an encyclopedia or something Marx wrote until you actually participate in the class struggle in some way I don't see how you can claim to be a "Marxist" because anyone can be unhappy about having to do without that doesn't automatically make you a "Marxist".
@@nativeyo This may come as a shock to you but maybe he is an intellectual who can explain his points in simple language. I highly recommend his book Common Sense and you will see what I mean.
I agree 100%! I do not look forward to the day of his passing for two reasons. One..the loss of his brilliance, and two...the sad fact that his loss will be ignored by the elites that run this country.
He hasn't had a mainstream platform worthy of his attention since William F. Buckley Jr. stopped doing "Firing Line". Dr. Sowell wisely steered away from short form mainstream news segments where it's all too easy for editors to bushwhack ideological opponents.
Can add many names to that list of "shame that the schools didn't teach about", such as: - R. Buckminster Fuller - Jacque Fresco - Stafford Beer - Donnella Meadows - Jeremy Rifkin - Richard Wolff - Michael Tellinger - Peter Joseph - Matthew Holten
@@bluemoonsliver6839 Be headed down a road of confusion if you were. If you were taught by teachers like Chris Hedges, Richard Wolff, Jacque Fresco, R. Buckminster Fuller, David Graeber, Peter Joseph or Michael Tellinger then you might have an amazingly healthy world view and insight.
He needs a huge megaphone until he leaves this temp housing. The world would be a better place if all people , no need for Marxist identity labels would heed half of what he said.
Why am I 43 years old and gone through life without hearing about this brilliant man? This man is a national treasure full of deep, insightful knowledge and wisdom. He needs to be put in our history books for our children to learn about him.
Because the main stream media, politicians, and corporations want to keep us ignorant and compliant. Anyone advocating for personal responsibility and liberty instead of the welfare state is “problematic.” That’s why we villainize our police, vote for laws that keep small businesses and impoverished people down, and are being fed post modern philosophy propaganda in our movies and television. Thomas Sowell speaks the truth, and those in power don’t want you to hear it.
Jesus died and rose again to save the world from hell, but you have to accept him as your savior first. These Bible verses explain how you can accept Jesus as your savior and have eternal life (John 3:16, Romans 3:23, 3:10, 5:12, 6:23, 5:8-9, 10:9-10, 10:13, 10:17, 8:28, Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 11:1-3, James 1:17, 2 Peter 3:9-10, 1 Corinthians 15:51-55, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 21:4-6) 🙂
Very empowering moment when I read his book and understood that I wasnt a victim of white man's oppression but a fake culture which prioritize dumb stuff. There are superior cultures, it has nothing at all to do with race, if the cultures were switched between black people and white people then the result would be a successful black community and devastated white community. I am also a big fan of Thomas sowells and milton friedmans arguments for capitalism and free markets. We have limited resources and it's upto us how we make the most of it, income inequality is actually a normal thing if your life is continuously getting better every decade, it's fascinating how dumb I was before I read all this stuff
This is heartwarming for me to read in the age of mindless wokeness. My respect to you dear sir! And good luck at anything you do and I wish you achieve everything!
You weren’t dumb before, you were just miseducated- and it’s NOT your fault. The average person doesn’t typically sit around and think about these things. But that doesn’t make you (or anyone else) dumb. Best of luck and blessed be. 💖
And in this day and age, even these "suggestions" are being considered outdated and racist....a sad state indeed.... Being born in the early 60's, this is not what I was taught growing up. When you feel an injustice has been propagated, you address it, and TOGETHER you solve it. Period. Both sides are entitled to be heard, regardless of what the narrative is following. Period. One of the first things I was taught when beginning my journey into the realms of higher education was that "Critical, Open Minded Thinking" will be the key to unlocking the answers I will be seeking to fulfill my requirements. How right they were, and continue to be....but not only when it refers to education, but to so many differing aspects of my ever changing life and the world around me. He may not have all the answers, (Mr. Sowell), but what he does share with us makes enough sense to make us stop and think. Well, some of us anyhow....now, question is, "How do we let others know what they are missing by not hearing and/or reading his words?"
Very good point. This statement needs alot more attention, and needs to be heard by everyone. Women, men and children alike need to hear this. As humans we need to grow mentally and physically, but always remember to question something when it doesn't seem right. This is how we are able to understand something or fix it if it is broken.

I'm not sure I heard anything like that before, but just simple observation will tell you that EVERYBODY is an idiot. Just compare all the things the smartest do not know, and that is the extent of their idiocy, and it is vast.
That would involve reflection on the self, society at large and the relationship between the two . And that would be difficult and involve accepting some harsh truths
Because he doesn't represent the image that the elites want for black Americans. He shows what can happen when you actually tap your potential and think freely.
@Kyle Johnson His Work has Merit because his statistics are facts unlike your feelings which is an opinion and facts don't care about your feelings 😒 ...Btw let me know when the Austrian becomes a world power and Leaders of free Nations they "don't have solutions just trade-offs" Thomas Sowell
I agree....Just think though if the left allowed him to speak openly....... You have to seek out a man like Thomas Sowell...... The liberal/left media won't ever put him out front.
Thinking and good at heart people, men like Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Glenn Loury, John McWohrter and younger ones who are following in their footsteps don’t need attention and props as the intellectual clowns do. I wouldn’t think about it in terms of ‘attention they should have’. Those who are serious enough about themselves and others will find them and learn lifelong lessons from them, share from their more valuable than riches kind of wisdom and refreshing perspectives. The powers that be don’t want that. Real enlightenment and education of regular people goes against their interest. They need modern day numb and dumb serfs. They use their tools - the media, the public education system that they have been allowed to control for too long - to produce exactly the kind of masses they want. The pushing out of voices like Williams’ and Sowell’s from the public sphere makes sense when you see it in that pragmatic light, as sickening as it is.
Not really. He doesn't prescribe to the oppressor(white)/oppressed(brown) Marxist world view so he is dismissed by academia as an Uncle Tom. What else would you expect from a race based ideology exactly?
@@ubermenchlicheman the only con man here is you.

My dad according to family, family friends, as well as the amount of ayn rand books he has, was a huge objectivist in college and although not an objectivist anymore still quotes her on a daily basis. I got introduced to her book the new left by my dad, and that was an amazing book. It hit too close to home when she started talking about the comprachicos. I am also reading her book on epistemology, which is amazing. It is hard, and I have had to start over from the beginning again, but it is still a good book. Too bad no one my own age has heard of Ayn Rand. Not many teens are into that. Although maybe the top commenter might be interested in discussing ayn rand.
Sowell is one of those intellects I point to that the left ignores because he doesn't understand the struggle. Oh, and he happens to be black...born in 1930...
I feel fortunate, no Blessed, to have discovered Thomas Sowell. First thru the “Uncommon Knowledge” interviews on TH-cam, his other videos and writings. What an American story and world treasure. God Bless you Sir.

He's on the level of any of the greatest historical philosophers or economists. I have read most of it and his is still the best. His genius is in his ability to find facts and explanations that are irrefutable.
I was always a conservative black man and i see his point and agree with most of them, but i can never ever support the Trumplican Party of today with their voter suppression of black people, bigotry and racism. The GOP today doesn't hide their racism. They moved to the extreme far-right to a point that the words "black lives matter" slogan and civil rights protests is seen as a crime but they are OK with and minimize Police brutaity against black people. As soon as a blackman is murdered in cold blood on Camera they start defending the perpetrator! When a capitol stormer was killed al we heard was she was a veteran and no one showed her previous crimes and her mug sht but if a black person died the first they try to do is look for a mug shot and talk about his past run ins with the law! I voted demicrat for 1st time in 2020 and will do that until the Republican Party starts fighting for issues that are important to black people and stops supporting Police brutality.
@@subscribeforgoodluck1806 Interesting. Where is the hard, actual evidence that Republicans are suppressing the black vote? I'm interested in reading that for myself. Does it matter to you that black unemployment under Trump was at a 60 year historical low and in 2019 both the number of hate crimes per capita and police shootings per capita against black people were at an all-time historical low?
Thank you all so much for making this documentary. The fact that Thomas Sowell isn’t as famous as he is intelligent is a testament to how this country’s mainstream culture loathes common sense.

I’ll be 79 years old in a few days and only ever heard of Dr Thomas Sowell about two years ago thanks to TH-cam and the fortunate accident of fate that I would listen to a black intellectual with such rapt attention and admiration. I know that’s racist and I’m sorry for it. Consider the era I was raised in and the locale in which I was raised, Southern , Jim Crow era. Unfortunately my thoughts about race were formed somewhat in a vacuum. I finished high school in 1962 in a totally segregated society, in a small town with very little contact with people of different cultures. My family were at most kind Cristian people that were ambivalent about cultural and racial differences and taught me to be respectful and mannerly to all people I encountered. Needless to say, there’s been a lot of growing up to be accomplished by me in the course of my time here on this planet. One of the greatest men I’ve ever encountered, in any venue, is Dr Thomas Sowell. Why is he not more renowned ? His writings should be on every high school reading list for too many subjects to list, beginning with history, psychology, literature and so on and on. I’m sorry for sounding like such a bigot but I promise I’m not really. I’m actually just ignorant and a cultural product. I think Dr Sowell and his philosophy are national treasures and deserve more exposure to the mainstream. We can all benefit from his teachings.
Sadly, the educational system does not want solutions to problems. That is why they spin the works of Sowell, among other greats, out of focus. Same with certain sides of the press. Kudos to you for ever evolving, which shows you may be hitherto unaware of certain things ( we all are ) but, most certainly NOT ignorant.
Racism is not making comments about cultural differences. Every people/nation/society/culture on earth notices similarities and differences in other people/nation/society/culture. These observations are NOT RACISM. Racism is hatred; hatred is a sin: murder, torture, persecution, rape etc etc sinful behavior that breaks human rights laws against others based on their skin color, religion (called bigotry) and or/genetic disposition. The political Left has de-valued racism to the point of going back to segregation and division of race, instead of MLKs judging character and not skin color speech. (I had a dream).
You ar3 not a bigot just because he inspires you and you relate to him. We all need people to look up to. I grew up Catholic but didn't even know the Italian nun for whom my school was named until this past year when Mother Cabrini movie came out. Thank God I had my own Mother to look up to.
Right? I'm thinking of showing it to my students. Wonder if I'll get any blowback? Oh well, I'm just a year away from retirement. ;-) I've loved Dr. Sowell since the late 70s!

A National treasure indeed. As a South African, in the 90’s I knew more about 2Pac et al, (from whom I’ve benefited nothing) but never heard anything said about Thomas Sowell. I lament the lost years I missed out on indispensable knowledge. I’m in my late 30’s and now own 3 copies of his big books: Basic Economics. Wealth Poverty and Politics. The Thomas Sowell Reader. I Look forward to adding more of his books to my library.
He admits he had a lucky childhood, and how he was given an education, yet, most kids today graduate high school and go to college but come out, not educated, but disillusioned..It's what's being taught in these schools that matters.
And having worked as a teacher, what you can teach is dictated by gov't standards. The students get tested on those standards for state tests. If the school doesn't perform well on those tests, at least in CA, the school gets funding cut. It's a way to ensure nobody teaches anything else other than what the state wants.

@@kimobrien. one of the main reasons for the financial crisis of 2008 was because of a series of bailouts provided by the federal government starting with the Mexican bailout of the middle 90s which allowed creditors to believe that no matter what happened, they would get their money back somehow some way. This is the opposite of allowing markets to operate on their own because they are a system of private profits and losses, not private profits and public losses.

The can not solve the problems of their crisis ridden system for multiple reason outlined in Das Kapital by Marx and Imperialism the highest stage of Capitalism by Lenin. Show me some evidence of Sowell being a fervent Marxist. An article by him published in a Socialist or Communist journal. He has never claimed membership in even a black rights or labor organization to the best of my knowledge. Anyone who understands Marx except the revisionist who Lenin set straight in State and Revolution understands that Marx's view after the Paris commune is that the workers must build their own state or as Marx had said earlier in the Manifesto that the state can not readily be used by the workers. The inability of the capitalist state to act in the workers interest should have come as no surprise to an actual Marxist. The reason the capitalist set up a national government is to defend their nation state, private property along with regulating internal and foreign trade. Naturally people like Sowell come out with theories about how markets and private property are a magical solution to all problems.

The Biden Administration seems to be in gear to suppress us. With the help of Big Teach suppressing information and not allowing free speech, AOC recommended targeting Trump supporters and Katie Courick suggested re-education camps to change the Trumps supporters to have them agree with liberal principles rather than to dialogue.

Sowell ignores the role of capitalist greed and the so called innovative banking industry. Sowells game is to show that capitalism has two sides to the same coin.
@@kimobrien. The other side is also greedy. However, today's capitalism is nothing but putrid wretched excess at this point in your reference to the banking industry.
@@brutonano9521 All that finance capitalism has become is giant gambling casino with industrial capitalism providing the surplus value to gamble with. The very success of finance capitalism's profiteering undercuts its ability to advance the productive forces. The rise in capital value also means the reduction of labor time which results in declining profit rates in capitalist industry when markets are already overflowing with overproduction.
@@kimobrien.Capitalism and Marxism are two sides of the same shekel. Both concentrate wealth into the hands of the Red Sea pedestrians. Capitalism is the tool they use to create the conditions that make Marxism desirabke. And Marxism is where they bag the lot in one go and turn the state into a human factory farm. Facts.
Mr. Sowell is one of the greatest intellectuals I've ever heard. I plan on buying all of his books in hardcopy before Amazon decides its "wrong think".
Wise thing... Am in Africa feeling so cheated. We never heard about this fantastic guy. He would have done wonders for our leadership had they studied under him. Instead, most went to USSR, to get a socialist based education.
I started to realize the same thing when Amazon axed E. Michael Jones works completely from their store. When they axed Parler, which I don't use because I think there is a deeper problem with ALL social media, I started looking in to closing my Amazon account on principle. What I found out was that, even though they deceive you with a "Buy" button for kindle books, you don't actually own the books. If you close your account, they take all the books you paid for off your kindle.
@@freetochoosenetwork Easily one of the most influential videos I have ever seen was Thomas Sowell on climate change. In 3 minutes flat he managed to debunk 40 years of UN backed climate non-science. Thank you Free to Choose Network, for bringing forward the light of Thomas Sowell's work
@@workingstiff19 On top of that I have uploaded a video of how Milton Friedman proves that colonialism and slavery had brought the West to Africa, where hey hadn't even invented the wheel. India improved dramatically only because of Britain and Slavery had ensured that Black Americans today are the richest black people in the world.
I just, in the last week, found out about Thomas Sowell. For the last 2 years, Noam Chomsky was my favorite intellect. Over the last year, I've seen numerous Jordan Peterson videos. At this time, Thomas Sowell is now my favorite intellectual. Bless you ❤
Dr. Sowell is an intellectual giant. He should be celebrated on the national stage. It is a tragedy of absurd proportions that the mainstream media have been ignoring him for decades. In fact, it's almost criminal.
Maybe not criminal, but certainly intentional. The majority of the print and electronic media have always been populated by the left. I know, because I worked there for four years, and experienced it first hand. But 50 years ago, most writers and producers still made an honest effort to present the news in an unbiased manner. Even though they privately disagreed with Buckley, Kilpatrick, and Friedman, they still gave them air time and editorial print space to present their ideas. After the '60s, that little bone to fairness started to disappear as the media increasingly unmasked their biases. Most egregiously in this cancel cultural shift (before it was called that) news managers hated black conservatives, and did everything they could to hide them and their views from the public eye. If it hadn't been for conservative talk radio and the internet, would we ever have heard of Walter Williams, Tom Sowell, Larry Elder, Ken Hamblin, Star Parker, Candace Owens, or Shelby Steele? I think not.
@@bearowen5480 This is towering rubbish. These are not black conservatives they are just shameless slime who are fully engaged in the white innocence project. This media bias stuff is fraudulent. You have no clue as to why you have been taught to see the left as evil and put your faith in these silly unicorn vendors. Honest effort indeed!! Stop insulting people's intelligence. And Friedman is a sicko whose dumb ideas have caused misery and bloodshed.
This documentary and ALL of Thomas Sowell’s books should be REQUIRED reading for everyone in the US. THAT is why the left works so hard to suppress his research and input. Thank God for you Thomas Sowell!!!
“Someone has to make them go to bed on time, someone has to make them to their homework, someone has to make them mind the teacher.” Missing the “someone” who does this is the real problem with the education system.
It also has to do with many kids simply not being taught, only lectured to and sent to scribble on pages. The curious minds will already drive themselves towards learning, but the others need a guiding hand to see how learning improves their lives in ways significant to them - useful to them. Many failings to attend to, but lack of parenting is indeed among the most devastating.
That "someone" is a COMPETENT parent, family member, or guardian who is prepared to sacrifice their time and effort for the good of the child.... In other words, having babies is a huge, Long Term responsibility. Be prepared, have a backup plan. No excuses... Nobody else to blame... the Govmt can NOT fix your Bad choices, or the life you ruin.
It raises my spirit to know that someone such as Thomas Sowell exists among us. He truly is a LUMINARY . THANK YOU for doing this beautiful documentary on him ❤️❤️❤️
I was honestly going to post this but you beat me to it. probably the simplest and best quote from this program. if you take nothing else from it take this.
psedo-smart comment. You get smart by thinking. Not buy taking the thesis that black people brought poverty upon ghemselves and arguing backwards from that premise to find "evidence" to support it.
@@concilium1 I also think the quote is a pseudo-smart statement. It's the ability to be able to make sense of your thoughts, facts, experiences which makes the difference. If you are able to analyse matters and understand the implications of facts then you are winning - I'm sure we all experience times where we spend a lot of time thinking but it only amounts to a headache or further confusion. I'm still listening to the video, but if Sowell's arguing that people are solely responsible for their own low economic and social status he can eff right off. We've all known honest, hardworking intelligent people who remain in a shit situation because the cards are stacked against them.
@@kadensmike8190 "Because the cards are stacks against them" my first thought was ...but God! can and still defies whatever hinders, blocks, etc Then I hear this from Terrence Williams-His story (minus the political comments) th-cam.com/video/zZQUTtDhKHs/w-d-xo.html Those people you speak of that can't seem to rise above honestly could have curse on their life unbeknownst to them, that only thru prayer can it be broken off them. Be Blessed!
@@highlyfavored57 I could not agree more. Im a strong beliver in no weapons formed will prosper. My story is very similar to Terrance and thru all of my short comings it only made me a better person and I can't complain about my life today. I truly love the part most when he speaks about being accountable for your life regardless of the obstacles and I pray for those who has trouble getting around them . May God Bless you all🙏🏽
'You can't say A caused B, if B happened before A. ' Thomas Sowell's words on climate change are COMMON SENSE. And yet the left and politicians refuse to see climate change for the scam that it is.
As a man I do understand your comment. I would like to add that he and his direct and honest philosophy and way of living transcends gender. Im not trying to pick at your outstanding comments, I would only like to add that this great man is a role model for all. To me, he should be known as "America's Greatest Father Figure."
Thank you so much for putting this documentary together and posting it on here for free. It could very well be a life-changing catalyst for many who watch it 🙏🏼🔥💪🏽
I'd rather not. Nobel Prize has BLM as a nominee for a peace prize. If I was ever nominated for one I'd turn it down faster than DemonBiden trying to put his pen in a pocket.😂
TOO ALL PEOPLE WATCHING: please for the love of god pass this knowledge on to your children. Teach them about thomas sowell and milton Friedman. Please teach them to think rationally and not emotionally. Teach them about reason, facts, philosophical ideas and the beauty of life. Strengthen their minds so they cannot be corrupted. Ladies and gentleman i feel as if we are the last link to Sowell, Friedman, Williams and many others. If they truly made an impact on your life pass down what you have learned from them. I just like many people wish that Sowell could be here forever but unfortunately he wont. Just as Friedman has left us and walter one day thomas will too, But his ldeas are what will live inside us. Pass this down to your children and ensure they do the same. For the world is growing darker........ ideas are being repressed, journalists and honest news cesored in front of our very eyes. We must fight back with the truth and by protecting those who will come after us. Making sure these ideas continue to thrive and grow is the key to saving the world from hell. Ive read orwell 1984 and its becoming truer everday. This is only the beginning. We are watching the fire rise with tears in our eyes, but our children will watch it die out
“A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both” ~ Milton Friedman
@@DrEhrfurchtgebietend Interesting concept that I had not heard of before. It provides a better view of what is actually happening socially/politically in our society.
@@scratchpenny Glad you like it. I am a researcher and only came across it about a year ago. It combines so many fields that a lot of researchers are getting behind it now. Please help spread the word as much as you can. This would go a long way towards winning the culture war. Information is power.
I was always a conservative black man and i see his point and agree with most of them, but i can never ever support the Trumplican Party of today with their voter suppression of black people, bigotry and racism. The GOP today doesn't hide their racism. They moved to the extreme far-right to a point that the words "black lives matter" slogan and civil rights protests is seen as a crime but they are OK with and minimize Police brutaity against black people. As soon as a blackman is murdered in cold blood on Camera they start defending the perpetrator! When a capitol stormer was killed al we heard was she was a veteran and no one showed her previous crimes and her mug sht but if a black person died the first they try to do is look for a mug shot and talk about his past run ins with the law! I voted demicrat for 1st time in 2020 and will do that until the Republican Party starts fighting for issues that are important to black people and stops supporting Police brutality.
@@subscribeforgoodluck1806 a couple of points. It seems clear that you have been biased thanks to the non stop lying of Corporate media. You disparagingly refer to 'Trumplican' as a terrible thing, but I noticed that you did not cite one policy of his that was negative, rather you repeated the talking points about Trump from the media, and presumably his supporters as 'far right'. This is an ongoing lie and couldn't be further from the truth. In fact it was Goebbels who famously said: "If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it." He's right. It worked in Nazi Germany and it's working right here with the Democrat party who constantly makes inflammatory statements with their MSM publicity arm, and why? Because THEY all agree with it. Trump, for the record was one of the first businessmen to hire minorities and women into high paying positions within his companies, back in the 80's. While he was in office, be put forth legislation that would decriminalize homosexuality around the world; two historic peace deals in the middle East, demanded that China pay as much tax on their imports to the US, as the US pays in taxes on their exports....and other legislation that would put the rights of THE PEOPLE, into their hands. It's called self determination. I urge you to watch the walkaway videos where every demographic is represented. I urge also to watch a few videos of Brandon Tatum, Anthony Brian Logan, David Harris Jr., Bevelyn Beatty, YG Nightstorm, Larry Elder...just to name a few to realize that you have been bamboozled by voting for more government control of your life. Please read it watch something that isn't shilling for the Democrats. They are not your friend and have kept you in the dark for 50+ years now. I wish you well.
We agree! If you enjoy the film, make sure to check out sowellfilm.com to find event screenings and public television airings of the film in your area to watch again!
Thomas Sowell is without a doubt one of the more influential people, because he lets the evidence lead the way. The media doesnt like him because they think he is doing it for political reasons and they hate the right usually, at least mainstream media. Yet nothing could be further from the truth, in fact Thomas Sowell doesnt let his politics enter into his economics and you will find that if you listen to what he is saying.
Oh, I think the media (e.g., Mike Bloomberg et al.) know exactly what sort of man Thomas Sowell is --- and they don't like it,. They recognize this great man as a real threat to their progressive "We know what's best for YOU" attitude.
Daniel Lassander - Another typical case of projection, The left knows everything they do is political (expeditiously so). It isn't in their world view that one can do a thing because facts, data and a moral center tell them to.
I listen to Sowell, go out and feel like I'm 8 feet tall. Dumbed-down world, too many idiots on TV. The list is endless. I love the man. His books changed my life.
As a young father, I learned a little about the welfare state, I had an infant son and was struggling financially in the early 80s, my landlord suggested applying for help. I went to the welfare office for an interview, I answered a bunch of questions as my interviewer took notes with a positive attitude until he asked me if I had a car. I told him that I had a 1979 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, he looked in a little book and said the car is worth 5k and that made me ineligible. He told me to sell the car, spend the 5k and he could help me with food stamps. I took this to mean you have to be totally broke and dependent on them before they will help you, and I wasn't willing to sell my car for several reasons. I used my car to get to and from my minimum wage job, and the car was a wedding present from my in-laws who would never forgive me. I chose to work 7 days a week and any extra hours that I could until I found a better job. I never asked welfare or anyone for financial help again. I went on to have two more children and retired in 2021 with a 35 year pension and my children all better educated and earning more than I ever did.
By roughly the age of 32, I found myself questioning the direction, philosophy and agendas of the left that I'd been a part of since a late teenager. After stumbling onto a few interviews with Thomas Sowell, I was astounded by his level of intellect, insight, humbleness and delivery of factual knowledge and I knew at that point that I had been on the wrong track my whole life. Thank you Thomas Sowell for all the work you have done to educate people. You Sir are a true Wise Man amongst corrupt and unwise men.
I will admit I am not knowledgable of Mr. Sowell, but from the quote you have provided, if this is his words, I am suspect of any Black man that does not value the brotherhood of men. I am also suspect of anyone that Larry Elder speaks highly of.
@@ZebraFacts Insinuating that you're a brother to any man who walks into your office purely based off the skin color that you share, is absolutely foolish. (A student calling a professor, "brotha") It's called respect, a thing that many people my age fail at delivering. And the fact that you didn't understand the quote was directly from this documentary, tells me not only you didn't watch it, but that you're opposed to being challenged on your own opinions. I would never share something as personal as brotherhood with someone who's a murderer or rapist or pedophile just for the sake of, "brotherhood of men." And I most certainly wouldn't give it away to anyone just because they have the same color as myself. Tribalism like that will only harm the communities who keep any significance in it. Just look at any gang to see what I'm talking about.
@@ZebraFacts It wasn't about the "brotherhood of men" and I think you know that. It was about being "brothers" on account of their shared skin color. Thomas Sowell is a rare person who understands that skin color isn't and shouldn't be important.
@@LucreDenouncer because its the secret police the state that forces you to think one way, and the comrade that will sell you out to them, that value truth.
Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, cal Thomas and George Will were my go tos for learning about everything outside of school. Fortunately that was still a time when schools taught actual history and literature. There’s no one that tops Thomas Sowell.
@@stargatekeeper3303 ...but Martin Luther King is a white supremacist. After all, if you don't take someone's color into account, then you might accidentally do something racist, and besides which, if you don't see race, then how can you see colored people? In short your just using your position of privilege to erase someone's history and culture.

From the pollution created to the lust and desire for MONEY which is an ILLUSION of WORTHINESS! Man has become his very own created beast through his thoughts, words and actions! Man has fallen so far from grace! He chooses to fight wars for only greed and destructive reasons to the point the innocent always suffer! He chooses to live like a king while his brethren works like a slave for eternity in this wretched place!

Hu MANS believe to be the most intelligent yet they INSIST on straying from mother nature! A destructive mindset that fails to understand she is the very WOMB that BIRTHED all life! The untamed beastly ego within man is and will always be his DOWNFALL! Through constant mental conditioning... Few will see that the box placed before them is in fact an ILLUSION... What is it that we all seek truly? What is the purpose for building then destroying and corrupting! What is the purpose to teach the future generation a failed system of sytematical errors!

It is an ILLUSION to SEGREGATE and control your emotional state! To everyone who do not comprehend my words I have a simple task for each of you... Open up your front doors every night to every stranger who has your complexion... Let them in amongst your children! Let them in amongst your wives and husbands! Let them in amongst your money and valuables! Soon you will discover my words to be TRUE! For amongst those same people you believe to be your people you will have PEDOPHILES, MURDERERS, RAPIST, FRAUDSTERS! One must judge by CHARACTER! Your brethren are the ones with moral values! Man has fallen from his spiritual path because of his conditioned mind! Man you came from a WOMB MAN, she was the first teacher you ever knew, she carried you for months within her holy, divine womb! She nurtured you, then pushed you out into this existence Called life for she is the BEARER of all NATIONS! For the man who does not know the truth! The WOMBMAN is your BEARER! She must be protected, loved, never be placed under your feet for not much books are written about her! She was chosen and designed to carry the chromosomes within her to determine whether you'd be a girl or boy! She is truly a gift unto the entire human race! A balance is needed in this world between the masculine and feminine energy, for the masculine energy has become too dominant thus creating a great imbalance... I pray for all to awaken in oneness, to build a better future for the future generations to come! For humanity to turn back to nature and feed the minds of each child with moral values that benefit the essence of their very souls... The contents of ones soul is of far greater value than the material! Teach them the value of a seed! Teach them the importance of sharing and expressing empathy! Teach them the importance of looking after nature and why corrupting our very food and water eventually will be the total extinction of the human race! *TEACH THEM WELL AND SHOW THEM LOVE!* Yhwh is eternal...👁👁👁
Easily one of the biggest shifts in my own thinking were Thomas Sowell's own words on climate change 'it's a scam'. In three minutes he managed to completely unravel the leftist highjacking in an attempt to push forward the green agenda ip there with the Green New Deal. Thank you Thomas Sowell. If anyone is interested I implore you to search on youtube 'Thomas Sowell on Climate Change'
Thomas Sowell and Victor Davis Hanson are by far my favorite ppl to listen to & grow from - God blessed us immensely with their gifts & talents. Thank you - we owe you a great deal of gratitude for your tireless contributions.
I have been reading Thomas Sowell's writing since I was a senior in high school. That was 1979. The man's mind can distill complicated subject into simple truths. He is a juggernaut in cognitive thinking.
Thomas Sowell is a great man and a great intellectual. I was working in West Africa most of my adult life. So I only recently heard of Thomas Sowell. One thing I love about him is, that he doesn't care if his ideas/philosophies are popular or not. He is interested in truth. That's what makes him an American treasure.
We couldn’t agree more! If you enjoyed the film, make sure to check out sowellfilm.com for information on event screenings and public television airings of the film to watch again!
Thomas's writing should be required reading in high schools and colleges. I admire his work, his intergity, and schlorship. What a great man! Thank you for this documentary.
I lost a debate with Mr. Sowell a little more than a decade ago. He so thoroughly beat me that it made me stop and rethink everything that I thought I knew. He changed my life and I'm forever grateful.

"Winter is coming" (A Mini Iceage is on the way, very soon)
In the school where I teach, where we're talking about Black History Month, I'm going to show the first six minutes of this video to my students as an introduction to Sowell, a man they'll never hear about otherwise.
Why not in full. Students need to know. Need to understand. Just as much as the teachings of Dr. M.L.K
We need more teachers like you. Hopefully you don’t get in trouble knowing schools these days haha
@@stoicone149 I'd love to but I'm a science teacher so I can't fully justify it. I justified showing six minutes by emphasizing how Sowell espoused facts and evidence, which is totally the scientific method!

That quote explains one of the foundations of white supremacy.
Amen!
In other words, corporations (aka private tyrannies), Wall Street, big banks, and most capitalists in general.
Try these truths... Regardless of skin color all Republicans supported and then reduced black unemployment, poverty, welfare dependency and unjust incarnation to lowest levels in modern history. Tell us that ALL white people are the racists?... don't get me wrong systemic racism clearly exist... to deny it is disingenuous and discredits the truth..... which is why we (reasonable people from the left and right) are in a battle that is not understood from either side..... quotas and affirmative action, welfare dependency promotion, abortion promotion, blocking of school choice/vouchers/charter schools in certain minority dominated areas with poor literacy, police union collusion with district attorneys and mayors to under or overcharge officers, poor policing and prosecuting in minority communities allowing gangs and criminal elements to ruin neighborhoods, single mother promotion policies.... ALL DEMOCRATIC PARTY policies and initiatives... not ALL white or Orange people... meanwhile Democrats selected Biden who supported the 1994 crime bill, gave a eulogy and praise for KKK top recruiter and supports the above racist policies. That's not even to mention the history of the Republican party before modern times where we white Republicans supported civil rights for our entire political history.
I’m gonna teach Thomas Sowell to my kids as part of our homeschool curriculum
Same!
Me too.
When i tried to continue homeschooling, i was ordered i had to pay 100.00 for a standard test. My daughter was not yet in 3rd but was told to go, til the next test as i had no funds to pay at that time.

I’m a black teen in New York City and I’ve spent elementary and middle school in a charter school...
The knowledge I learned from that charter school helped me land a spot in one of the specialized high schools - Brooklyn Tech.
Now I’m a junior and using those critical thinking skills I learned from charter school, I’ve been able to first deflect indoctrination with reasoning and now by studying Sowell and others I can refute the indoctrination with facts.

"The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is. He confuses it with feeling." ~Thomas Sowell
Wise words from a very wise man!
@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj And the right
FANTASTIC MIND!!
"It is not merely that Johnny can’t read, or even that Johnny can’t think. Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is, because thinking is so often confused with feeling in many public schools."
That is outstanding! The man is brilliant!
Blessed to have been a part of this, but even more blessed to have stumbled across the works of the great Thomas Sowell at a young age. I am not dramatizing it when I say that it changed my life.
Changed my life too. May he live forever.
Me too! Sad that he isn't as well known. I do my best to spread his work all the time
Great job Eric, everyone involved did great. This will be one of the classics on Thomas Sowell. Really proud of you that you were a big part of it. I follow you on the blue bird, @everyhuematters. I've been sharing this with everyone I know since you posted. As was said below, we all have to do our part to spread his work and others who follow him. Thanks.

"Racism isn't dead, but it is on life support - kept alive by politicians, race hustlers, and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as 'racist'" ~Thomas Sowell
Particular white people are SO obssessed with the word racist and with being labled a racist.
Your ARROGANT ENTITLED PRIVILEGE prevents you from accepting the fact that it is YOUR actions and YOUR words that lead you to being labeled a racist.
Your actions.
Your words.
Ohhh no, you're arrogant entitled privilege insists that the targets of racism are the blame for YOUR racism.
Like spoiled cry babies.
If you don't want to be labeled a racist then quit acting like one.
Sowell subscribes to right wing conservative idiology and provides white people all the excuses they need to take no responsibility for their own actions and also dismiss the culpability of their slave-owning ancestors.
Making him a national treasure for white people in denial.
Democrats do it because of "divide and conquer" , they espouse victimhood which turns into hate and revenge. It might be too late to change anything.
It's kept alive by the tens of millions of Americans who vote for proudly white supremacist candidates like DJT
...talk about an idealist ...it's alive and well...without the help of ANYONE -(someone that doesn't look for it everywhere)
@@BillyDee45 ??
I was so glad to see this name trending on Twitter a few years back when Sowell decided to "retire" from writing full-time. This year, I think, he is 90 years old. My children will get a steady diet of his works as they become teenagers. I hope that they will be blessed by his work as it has been a blessing to me.
Likewise, I am starting my son on Basic Economics. Glad that we are passing this knowledge onto our children.
Glad you enjoyed the film! Check out sowellfilm.com to find event screenings and public television airings of the film in your area.
I decided to finish a college degree that I had begun 20 years before, and I chose Economics in large part to the influence of Thomas Sowell. I believe the greatest lesson I have learned from him was to evaluate the evidence as it is presented. I often find when I have found areas where I have disagreed with Thomas Sowell's ideas it was because I wanted to not accept what he said, not because I had objectively listened to the arguments and decided.
Regardless if your children embrace his ideas as you have, I bet they will still benefit from the positive outcomes you received from his work as they will probably have a positive effect on you and that will roll down hill. Maybe when they get to the age of rebellion, you can forbid all the intellectuals that you actually agree with so their rebellion will naturally lead them right into their arms, ha ha......

I discovered Thomas Sowell at the age of 29 while obtaining my PhD. The great tragedy is that his work has been suppressed (dare I say intentionally) for decades. It is life changing to accept that you and you alone are responsible and capable of accomplishing things, and to throw away the victim mentality.

He hasn't had a mainstream platform worthy of his attention since William F. Buckley Jr. stopped doing "Firing Line".
Dr. Sowell wisely steered away from short form mainstream news segments where it's all too easy for editors to bushwhack ideological opponents.
Can add many names to that list of "shame that the schools didn't teach about", such as:
- R. Buckminster Fuller
- Jacque Fresco

Thomas Sowell speaks the truth, and those in power don’t want you to hear it.

Very empowering moment when I read his book and understood that I wasnt a victim of white man's oppression but a fake culture which prioritize dumb stuff.
There are superior cultures, it has nothing at all to do with race, if the cultures were switched between black people and white people then the result would be a successful black community and devastated white community.
I am also a big fan of Thomas sowells and milton friedmans arguments for capitalism and free markets. We have limited resources and it's upto us how we make the most of it, income inequality is actually a normal thing if your life is continuously getting better every decade, it's fascinating how dumb I was before I read all this stuff

"When there are no consequences when rules and laws are broken, then we no longer have rules and laws; but only suggestions." ~ Thomas Sowell
The US vs the World mentality ... never took any consequences for your crimes
And in this day and age, even these "suggestions" are being considered outdated and racist....a sad state indeed.... Being born in the early 60's, this is not what I was taught growing up. When you feel an injustice has been propagated, you address it, and TOGETHER you solve it. Period. Both sides are entitled to be heard, regardless of what the narrative is following. Period. One of the first things I was taught when beginning my journey into the realms of higher education was that "Critical, Open Minded Thinking" will be the key to unlocking the answers I will be seeking to fulfill my requirements. How right they were, and continue to be....but not only when it refers to education, but to so many differing aspects of my ever changing life and the world around me. He may not have all the answers, (Mr. Sowell), but what he does share with us makes enough sense to make us stop and think. Well, some of us anyhow....now, question is, "How do we let others know what they are missing by not hearing and/or reading his words?"
So Sowell thinks the FAKE president should be in jail right now?
@@rabbit-ku1bn - The crazies are free-range lunatics...
Very good point. This statement needs alot more attention, and needs to be heard by everyone.

Thinking and good at heart people, men like Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Glenn Loury, John McWohrter and younger ones who are following in their footsteps don’t need attention and props as the intellectual clowns do. I wouldn’t think about it in terms of ‘attention they should have’. Those who are serious enough about themselves and others will find them and learn lifelong lessons from them, share from their more valuable than riches kind of wisdom and refreshing perspectives. The powers that be don’t want that. Real enlightenment and education of regular people goes against their interest. They need modern day numb and dumb serfs. They use their tools - the media, the public education system that they have been allowed to control for too long - to produce exactly the kind of masses they want. The pushing out of voices like Williams’ and Sowell’s from the public sphere makes sense when you see it in that pragmatic light, as sickening as it is.
I learn more listening to Thomas Sowell for 30 minutes than I did in 3 years of high school. Sad that more young kids aren't exposed to his wisdom.

I was always a conservative black man and i see his point and agree with most of them, but i can never ever support the Trumplican Party of today with their voter suppression of black people, bigotry and racism. The GOP today doesn't hide their racism. They moved to the extreme far-right to a point that the words "black lives matter" slogan and civil rights protests is seen as a crime but they are OK with and minimize Police brutaity against black people. As soon as a blackman is murdered in cold blood on Camera they start defending the perpetrator! When a capitol stormer was killed al we heard was she was a veteran and no one showed her previous crimes and her mug sht but if a black person died the first they try to do is look for a mug shot and talk about his past run ins with the law!

Thank you all so much for making this documentary. The fact that Thomas Sowell isn’t as famous as he is intelligent is a testament to how this country’s mainstream culture loathes common sense.
Truths are a cold comfort, not many are built to withstand them.
What is common sense?
Thomas Sowell is so intelligent, he signed his name to a never-Trump pledge in 2016, to allow Hillary to win. Thomas Sowell is a fraud and has no common sense or intelligence
@@deedeemerry1295 do you have the proof of this information by chance
Glad you enjoyed the film! Make sure to check out sowellfilm.com to find event screenings and public television airings of the film in your area to watch again!
I’ll be 79 years old in a few days and only ever heard of Dr Thomas Sowell about two years ago thanks to TH-cam and the fortunate accident of fate that I would listen to a black intellectual with such rapt attention and admiration. I know that’s racist and I’m sorry for it. Consider the era I was raised in and the locale in which I was raised, Southern , Jim Crow era. Unfortunately my thoughts about race were formed somewhat in a vacuum. I finished high school in 1962 in a totally segregated society, in a small town with very little contact with people of different cultures. My family were at most kind Cristian people that were ambivalent about cultural and racial differences and taught me to be respectful and mannerly to all people I encountered.
Needless to say, there’s been a lot of growing up to be accomplished by me in the course of my time here on this planet. One of the greatest men I’ve ever encountered, in any venue, is Dr Thomas Sowell. Why is he not more renowned ? His writings should be on every high school reading list for too many subjects to list, beginning with history, psychology, literature and so on and on.
I’m sorry for sounding like such a bigot but I promise I’m not really. I’m actually just ignorant and a cultural product. I think Dr Sowell and his philosophy are national treasures and deserve more exposure to the mainstream. We can all benefit from his teachings.
I saw nothing racist with your actions and intro. Better late then never.
Sadly, the educational system does not want solutions to problems. That is why they spin the works of Sowell, among other greats, out of focus. Same with certain sides of the press. Kudos to you for ever evolving, which shows you may be hitherto unaware of certain things ( we all are ) but, most certainly NOT ignorant.
Racism is not making comments about cultural differences. Every people/nation/society/culture on earth notices similarities and differences in other people/nation/society/culture. These observations are NOT RACISM. Racism is hatred; hatred is a sin: murder, torture, persecution, rape etc etc sinful behavior that breaks human rights laws against others based on their skin color, religion (called bigotry) and or/genetic disposition. The political Left has de-valued racism to the point of going back to segregation and division of race, instead of MLKs judging character and not skin color speech. (I had a dream).
You ar3 not a bigot just because he inspires you and you relate to him. We all need people to look up to. I grew up Catholic but didn't even know the Italian nun for whom my school was named until this past year when Mother Cabrini movie came out. Thank God I had my own Mother to look up to.
THIS should be REQUIRED for every student in America. Period.
Right? I'm thinking of showing it to my students. Wonder if I'll get any blowback? Oh well, I'm just a year away from retirement. ;-) I've loved Dr. Sowell since the late 70s!
Whoa! Take it easy, hold on there! We don't want kids to get crazy and start thinking for themselves now!
@@kellymeredith5594 PLEASE show it to your students. Someone has to have the guts to teach them to think critically. Sadly this isn't being taught and those who do, face the finger wagging. DO IT! The kids deserve the truth from someone!
NOTHING.. Should be required reading, ever. Think for yourself should be at the forefront of every students mind
RIP Walt Williams a legend in his own right.
It was a real shock that he went first. Tom took it pretty hard.
Such a great man, and thinker.

"Next time your professor tells you how important diversity is, ask them how many Republicans are in their Sociology dept." One of my favorite quotes from him
I will never forget how Milton Friedman managed to reduce the myths about colonialism and white privelige into ashes in just a few short minutes. If you see Milton Friedman's video on Slavery and coloniasation, he successfully illustrates that empire was a force for good, not a force for evil.

@@toddwilliams5782 CPAC is a choice for anyone with common beliefs to join. They are limited by what they believe which is usually what they are exposed to so they follow the footsteps of those around them. To be a professor you must be hired in which having diversity of belief can limit your options.
A National treasure indeed. As a South African, in the 90’s I knew more about 2Pac et al, (from whom I’ve benefited nothing) but never heard anything said about Thomas Sowell.
I lament the lost years I missed out on indispensable knowledge.
I’m in my late 30’s and now own 3 copies of his big books: Basic Economics. Wealth Poverty and Politics. The Thomas Sowell Reader. I Look forward to adding more of his books to my library.
Thomas Sowell deserves a Presidential Medal.
He made me like economics.
He admits he had a lucky childhood, and how he was given an education, yet, most kids today graduate high school and go to college but come out, not educated, but disillusioned..It's what's being taught in these schools that matters.
*And don't forget that MANY students paid BIG money (& will continue to pay for YEARS) for that indoctrination!*
So sad.
And having worked as a teacher, what you can teach is dictated by gov't standards.
The students get tested on those standards for state tests. If the school doesn't perform well on those tests, at least in CA, the school gets funding cut.
It's a way to ensure nobody teaches anything else other than what the state wants.
Schools today do not teach critical thinking skills they indoctrinate radical ideology. They producee people who are incapaple of independent thought.
Not disillusioned programed
That is why we should have school choice
When I first learned of Thomas Sowell’s work my first thought was “Why the Hell haven’t I learned about this in school”
Cause the USA were Marxists all the time, you are learning that part of your history only now ...
Glad you learned about him nonetheless! If you enjoyed the film, make sure to check out sowellfilm.com for information on event screenings and public television airings of the film to watch again!
Public school is socialized education. That's why you never heard of Sowell.
Thomas is the most uniquely wise man I've ever heard, speaking at length on many subjects
He is very impressive and a true treasure
The fact that I'm alive while this living legend is walking the earth humbles me. May he live long!

@@GabrielleTollerson The problem for the neo liberals began with the crisis of 2008. This whole idea that capitalist greed and private property is the best idea since sliced bread has been dashed upon the rocks of continuing economic crisis and defeat in Afghanistan by the the bosses own government. Donald Trump had the gaul to question the make profits and build American Imperialism in the world market and it got him nothing but liberal contempt for questioning the Global Profits for the American Bosses over all else.
@@kimobrien. one of the main reasons for the financial crisis of 2008 was because of a series of bailouts provided by the federal government starting with the Mexican bailout of the middle 90s which allowed creditors to believe that no matter what happened, they would get their money back somehow some way. This is the opposite of allowing markets to operate on their own because they are a system of private profits and losses, not private profits and public losses.
It's interesting that you are someone with a Hammer and Sickle should be commenting to indignantly under a video about a man who was himself a fervent Marxist throughout his 20s before getting a job working for the government and discovering how they actually operate first hand.
@@spencerantoniomarlen-starr3069 Naturally the capitalist seek a bailout from the problems created by the own greed. That's why the have political parties and a state that defends private property. The can not solve the problems of their crisis ridden system for multiple reason outlined in Das Kapital by Marx and Imperialism the highest stage of Capitalism by Lenin. Show me some evidence of Sowell being a fervent Marxist. An article by him published in a Socialist or Communist journal. He has never claimed membership in even a black rights or labor organization to the best of my knowledge. Anyone who understands Marx except the revisionist who Lenin set straight in State and Revolution understands that Marx's view after the Paris commune is that the workers must build their own state or as Marx had said earlier in the Manifesto that the state can not readily be used by the workers. The inability of the capitalist state to act in the workers interest should have come as no surprise to an actual Marxist. The reason the capitalist set up a national government is to defend their nation state, private property along with regulating internal and foreign trade. Naturally people like Sowell come out with theories about how markets and private property are a magical solution to all problems.
@@kimobrien. the crash of 2008 was caused by the interference by the government on the markets, not corporate greed!
“No group can be truly suppressed until its members are trained and convinced to suppress one another.”
Kath David yhe real racism. Marxists need you to fall. Their power depends on it for it's very survival.

Exactly.

"It is usually futile to talk facts and analysis to the people who are enjoying a moral superiority in their ignorance" - Thomas sowell
The Saiyern... fyi... it's the Papacy that promotes Climate Change... they are the Deep State. They are the power that is "subverting" society behind the scenes. They are like an Aspen Grove with many trees but one root system. The Illuminati, the U.N., the EU, the WEF, the CFR, CIA, NSA, the IMF, the Federal Reserve, the "banksters," the Club of Rome, the Council of 300, the Bilderbergers, the Trilateral Commission, Hollywood, and the Mainstream Media are just some of the trees that make up that grove.
They are using the Hegelian Dialectic to achieve their goals (problem, reaction, solution). And as Catechism 2188 shows, part of their solution for society's problems is a Sunday law. That's also why they promote Climate Change. It's about getting non-religious people on board with a Sunday law for the sake of lowering carbon emissions and saving the planet: adventmessenger.org/over-650-catholic-organization-world-wide-are-working-to-implement-the-popes-green-sunday-law/
If you go to www.anym.org/pdf/National_Sunday_Law.pdf you can read a free pdf Bible study that talks about the coming conflict between God's seventh-day Sabbath vs. the Pope's man-made Sunday sacredness. It identifies the two beasts of Revelation 13, the anti-Christ, and what the Mark of the Beast is all about and how to avoid getting it.
Btw... if you are not convinced about the Jesuits and the Vatican... did you know both of Trump's nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court went to the same elite Jesuit high school in Bethesda, MD? www.nytimes.com/2018/07/10/us/kavanaugh-gorsuch-georgetown-prep.html
Think about the power it takes to pull something like that off. And Trump's latest appointment to the Supreme Court (Amy Barrett) is also Catholic. The Papacy is looking to implement their social teaching called "the common good." It's ideology is Collectivist in nature and is opposed to the American concept of Individualism.
If you're still not buying the Papacy is the Deep State... go into Google images and type "Vatican City snake head audience hall." As you look at that picture... think about where the Pope is sitting when he talks to the audience.
If you're looking for more Red Pill knowledge about the global elite, Dr. Walter Veith is a great resource. He was into the occult world before becoming a Christian and has some very well documented PowerPoint presentations that are loaded with pictures and are real eye openers.

Sowell ignores the role of capitalist greed and the so called innovative banking industry. Sowells game is to show that capitalism has two sides to the same coin.
@@kimobrien. The other side is also greedy. However, today's capitalism is nothing but putrid wretched excess at this point in your reference to the banking industry.
@@brutonano9521 All that finance capitalism has become is giant gambling casino with industrial capitalism providing the surplus value to gamble with. The very success of finance capitalism's profiteering undercuts its ability to advance the productive forces. The rise in capital value also means the reduction of labor time which results in declining profit rates in capitalist industry when markets are already overflowing with overproduction.
@@kimobrien.Capitalism and Marxism are two sides of the same shekel. Both concentrate wealth into the hands of the Red Sea pedestrians. Capitalism is the tool they use to create the conditions that make Marxism desirabke. And Marxism is where they bag the lot in one go and turn the state into a human factory farm. Facts.
My soul is blessed that I came across Thomas Sowell at the right time.
I just found out Walter Williams passed away just over a month ago in December. The world lost a mighty man.
RESPECT ❤️
Aww.. Damn.. He'll never get recognized for his work..
You can check out our film on the late Walter Williams here: th-cam.com/video/YZGvQcxoAPg/w-d-xo.html
Thomas Sowell wrote a moving obituary for Walter. Worth reading.
@@Truthhound1 Yes! I read it. Very concise and meaningful words.
Mr. Sowell is one of the greatest intellectuals I've ever heard. I plan on buying all of his books in hardcopy before Amazon decides its "wrong think".
Wise thing... Am in Africa feeling so cheated. We never heard about this fantastic guy. He would have done wonders for our leadership had they studied under him. Instead, most went to USSR, to get a socialist based education.
I started to realize the same thing when Amazon axed E. Michael Jones works completely from their store. When they axed Parler, which I don't use because I think there is a deeper problem with ALL social media, I started looking in to closing my Amazon account on principle. What I found out was that, even though they deceive you with a "Buy" button for kindle books, you don't actually own the books. If you close your account, they take all the books you paid for off your kindle.

In *Basic Economics* I believe the quote is "If people don't stop and think, what difference does it make whether they are geniuses or idiots?"
@@workingstiff19 On top of that I have uploaded a video of how Milton Friedman proves that colonialism and slavery had brought the West to Africa, where hey hadn't even invented the wheel. India improved dramatically only because of Britain and Slavery had ensured that Black Americans today are the richest black people in the world.
I just, in the last week, found out about Thomas Sowell. For the last 2 years, Noam Chomsky was my favorite intellect. Over the last year, I've seen numerous Jordan Peterson videos.
At this time, Thomas Sowell is now my favorite intellectual.
Bless you ❤
Dr. Sowell is an intellectual giant.
He should be celebrated on the national stage. It is a tragedy of absurd proportions that the mainstream media have been ignoring him for decades. In fact, it's almost criminal.
Rubbish 🗑!
Dr Sowell should be celebrated and his lessons taught in every country on the planet
@@TerrenceBosworth Sowell is a puppet, and an absolutely laughable one.
You are ridiculous!
Maybe not criminal, but certainly intentional. The majority of the print and electronic media have always been populated by the left. I know, because I worked there for four years, and experienced it first hand. But 50 years ago, most writers and producers still made an honest effort to present the news in an unbiased manner. Even though they privately disagreed with Buckley, Kilpatrick, and Friedman, they still gave them air time and editorial print space to present their ideas. After the '60s, that little bone to fairness started to disappear as the media increasingly unmasked their biases. Most egregiously in this cancel cultural shift (before it was called that) news managers hated black conservatives, and did everything they could to hide them and their views from the public eye. If it hadn't been for conservative talk radio and the internet, would we ever have heard of Walter Williams, Tom Sowell, Larry Elder, Ken Hamblin, Star Parker, Candace Owens, or Shelby Steele? I think not.
@@bearowen5480 This is towering rubbish.
These are not black conservatives they are just shameless slime who are fully engaged in the white innocence project.
This media bias stuff is fraudulent.
You have no clue as to why you have been taught to see the left as evil
and put your faith in these silly unicorn vendors.
Honest effort indeed!!
Stop insulting people's intelligence.
And Friedman is a sicko whose dumb ideas have caused misery and bloodshed.
This documentary and ALL of Thomas Sowell’s books should be REQUIRED reading for everyone in the US. THAT is why the left works so hard to suppress his research and input. Thank God for you Thomas Sowell!!!
I do, but I doubt that Sowell himself would agree to require anyone to do so :)
@@adamwuilmart 😂That's right. Sowell would disapprove of "third parties" - dare I say "the anointed" - requiring everybody to do anything.
knowledge is not for the many, it is for the few that seek it. It has to be that way. It is nature.
I agree!
AGREED !!!
“Someone has to make them go to bed on time, someone has to make them to their homework, someone has to make them mind the teacher.” Missing the “someone” who does this is the real problem with the education system.
I recommend The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto.
It also has to do with many kids simply not being taught, only lectured to and sent to scribble on pages. The curious minds will already drive themselves towards learning, but the others need a guiding hand to see how learning improves their lives in ways significant to them - useful to them. Many failings to attend to, but lack of parenting is indeed among the most devastating.
Its One Huge problem with the Schools in this Country! Amen! ❤🙏🇺🇸❤🇺🇸🙏🗽🇺🇸
That "someone" is a COMPETENT parent, family member, or guardian who is prepared to
sacrifice their time and effort for the good of the child....
In other words, having babies is a huge, Long Term responsibility. Be prepared, have a backup plan.
No excuses... Nobody else to blame... the Govmt can NOT fix your Bad choices, or the life you ruin.
It doesn't help when the public school has to put up with unruly kids.

Your strawman says that you haven't heard or read a word Thomas Sowell has said.
@@concilium1 I also think the quote is a pseudo-smart statement. It's the ability to be able to make sense of your thoughts, facts, experiences which makes the difference. If you are able to analyse matters and understand the implications of facts then you are winning - I'm sure we all experience times where we spend a lot of time thinking but it only amounts to a headache or further confusion. I'm still listening to the video, but if Sowell's arguing that people are solely responsible for their own low economic and social status he can eff right off.

Please teach them to think rationally and not emotionally. Teach them about reason, facts, philosophical ideas and the beauty of life. Strengthen their minds so they cannot be corrupted. Ladies and gentleman i feel as if we are the last link to Sowell, Friedman, Williams and many others. If they truly made an impact on your life pass down what you have learned from them.

Pass this down to your children and ensure they do the same. For the world is growing darker........ ideas are being repressed, journalists and honest news cesored in front of our very eyes. We must fight back with the truth and by protecting those who will come after us. Making sure these ideas continue to thrive and grow is the key to saving the world from hell.

I was always a conservative black man and i see his point and agree with most of them, but i can never ever support the Trumplican Party of today with their voter suppression of black people, bigotry and racism. The GOP today doesn't hide their racism. They moved to the extreme far-right to a point that the words "black lives matter" slogan and civil rights protests is seen as a crime but they are OK with and minimize Police brutaity against black people. As soon as a blackman is murdered in cold blood on Camera they start defending the perpetrator! When a capitol stormer was killed al we heard was she was a veteran and no one showed her previous crimes and her mug sht but if a black person died the first they try to do is look for a mug shot and talk about his past run ins with the law! I voted demicrat for 1st time in 2020 and will do that until the Republican Party starts fighting for issues that are important to black people and stops supporting Police brutality.
@@subscribeforgoodluck1806 a couple of points. It seems clear that you have been biased thanks to the non stop lying of Corporate media. You disparagingly refer to 'Trumplican' as a terrible thing, but I noticed that you did not cite one policy of his that was negative, rather you repeated the talking points about Trump from the media, and presumably his supporters as 'far right'. This is an ongoing lie and couldn't be further from the truth. In fact it was Goebbels who famously said: "If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it."
He's right. It worked in Nazi Germany and it's working right here with the Democrat party who constantly makes inflammatory statements with their MSM publicity arm, and why? Because THEY all agree with it.
Trump, for the record was one of the first businessmen to hire minorities and women into high paying positions within his companies, back in the 80's. While he was in office, be put forth legislation that would decriminalize homosexuality around the world; two historic peace deals in the middle East, demanded that China pay as much tax on their imports to the US, as the US pays in taxes on their exports....and other legislation that would put the rights of THE PEOPLE, into their hands.
It's called self determination.
I urge you to watch the walkaway videos where every demographic is represented.
I urge also to watch a few videos of Brandon Tatum, Anthony Brian Logan, David Harris Jr., Bevelyn Beatty, YG Nightstorm, Larry Elder...just to name a few to realize that you have been bamboozled by voting for more government control of your life.

Ditto
What did he do ? I just found out about him.
I can never get enough of Thomas Sowell. Nothing that I have ever heard him say was illogical. I believe he is one of the wisest men of our time.
Thomas Sowell is without a doubt one of the more influential people, because he lets the evidence lead the way.
The media doesnt like him because they think he is doing it for political reasons and they hate the right usually, at least mainstream media. Yet nothing could be further from the truth, in fact Thomas Sowell doesnt let his politics enter into his economics and you will find that if you listen to what he is saying.
Oh, I think the media (e.g., Mike Bloomberg et al.) know exactly what sort of man Thomas Sowell is --- and they don't like it,. They recognize this great man as a real threat to their progressive "We know what's best for YOU" attitude.
Daniel Lassander - Another typical case of projection, The left knows everything they do is political (expeditiously so). It isn't in their world view that one can do a thing because facts, data and a moral center tell them to.
The media hates him and gives him no airtime, because it would destroy the narrative they push.
"It doesn't matter how smart you are if you don't think." Perfect last words.
I listen to Sowell, go out and feel like I'm 8 feet tall. Dumbed-down world, too many idiots on TV. The list is endless. I love the man. His books changed my life.
As a young father, I learned a little about the welfare state, I had an infant son and was struggling financially in the early 80s, my landlord suggested applying for help. I went to the welfare office for an interview, I answered a bunch of questions as my interviewer took notes with a positive attitude until he asked me if I had a car. I told him that I had a 1979 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, he looked in a little book and said the car is worth 5k and that made me ineligible. He told me to sell the car, spend the 5k and he could help me with food stamps. I took this to mean you have to be totally broke and dependent on them before they will help you, and I wasn't willing to sell my car for several reasons. I used my car to get to and from my minimum wage job, and the car was a wedding present from my in-laws who would never forgive me. I chose to work 7 days a week and any extra hours that I could until I found a better job. I never asked welfare or anyone for financial help again. I went on to have two more children and retired in 2021 with a 35 year pension and my children all better educated and earning more than I ever did.
By roughly the age of 32, I found myself questioning the direction, philosophy and agendas of the left that I'd been a part of since a late teenager. After stumbling onto a few interviews with Thomas Sowell, I was astounded by his level of intellect, insight, humbleness and delivery of factual knowledge and I knew at that point that I had been on the wrong track my whole life. Thank you Thomas Sowell for all the work you have done to educate people. You Sir are a true Wise Man amongst corrupt and unwise men.
“I am not your brother I am Mr. Sowell and you will address me as such.” - Thomas Sowell
so badass, once a Marine always a Marine.
I will admit I am not knowledgable of Mr. Sowell, but from the quote you have provided, if this is his words, I am suspect of any Black man that does not value the brotherhood of men. I am also suspect of anyone that Larry Elder speaks highly of.
@@ZebraFacts Insinuating that you're a brother to any man who walks into your office purely based off the skin color that you share, is absolutely foolish. (A student calling a professor, "brotha") It's called respect, a thing that many people my age fail at delivering. And the fact that you didn't understand the quote was directly from this documentary, tells me not only you didn't watch it, but that you're opposed to being challenged on your own opinions.
I would never share something as personal as brotherhood with someone who's a murderer or rapist or pedophile just for the sake of, "brotherhood of men." And I most certainly wouldn't give it away to anyone just because they have the same color as myself. Tribalism like that will only harm the communities who keep any significance in it. Just look at any gang to see what I'm talking about.
@@ZebraFacts It wasn't about the "brotherhood of men" and I think you know that. It was about being "brothers" on account of their shared skin color. Thomas Sowell is a rare person who understands that skin color isn't and shouldn't be important.
His marine training gave him his remarkable empathy and reverence for the sanctity of life and made him the killing machine we all know and love.
@@ZebraFacts Damn Yargis really pointed out your ignorance. And I love and agree with every word he said.
"He put truth above popularity."
Boy do I wish everybody would do that.
The world would be a better place!
Capitalism is very popular among the US masses, unfortunately.
@@LucreDenouncer because its the secret police the state that forces you to think one way, and the comrade that will sell you out to them, that value truth.
Sowell has character in a society that values image.
Blame the lack of truth over popularity on democracy. Politicians cater to popular ideas because it gets them elected.
Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, cal Thomas and George Will were my go tos for learning about everything outside of school. Fortunately that was still a time when schools taught actual history and literature.
There’s no one that tops Thomas Sowell.
When someone speaks the truth colour disappears.
The truth is colour is an illusion, that is SCIENTIFIC fact...
Hu MANS need to teach their kids this fact; *Judge by CHARACTER not colour* ...👁👁👁
@@stargatekeeper3303 ...but Martin Luther King is a white supremacist. After all, if you don't take someone's color into account, then you might accidentally do something racist, and besides which, if you don't see race, then how can you see colored people? In short your just using your position of privilege to erase someone's history and culture.
I'm not making this up...this is what NPCs (non-paying customers) actually think: ces101spring2015.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/idontseerace.png
@@odio3965 My words are meant to truly liberate the mind...
What is it meant to spiritually ascend the mind for the mind must be free to think?
One lives their lives attached to a manmade material construct that truly serves the hu man nothing but greed, corruption, and a destruction of their naturally spiritual aspects of existence...
From the pollution created to the lust and desire for MONEY which is an ILLUSION of WORTHINESS! Man has become his very own created beast through his thoughts, words and actions!
Man has fallen so far from grace!
He chooses to fight wars for only greed and destructive reasons to the point the innocent always suffer!
He chooses to live like a king while his brethren works like a slave for eternity in this wretched place! Creating more pollution and destroying more so called wildlife...*IS IT THEM WHO ARE WILD OR ARE WE THE WILD, UNTAMED BEASTS!*
Do you ever in nature see a black cat refuse to mate with a white cat?
Do you ever in nature see a litter of puppies with all the array of colours be refused by it's mother?
Do you ever see the birds with so many colours not fly and share the sky?
Are we not mammals?
Hu MANS believe to be the most intelligent yet they INSIST on straying from mother nature! A destructive mindset that fails to understand she is the very WOMB that BIRTHED all life!
The untamed beastly ego within man is and will always be his DOWNFALL!
Through constant mental conditioning... Few will see that the box placed before them is in fact an ILLUSION...
What is it that we all seek truly?
What is the purpose for building then destroying and corrupting!
What is the purpose to teach the future generation a failed system of sytematical errors! A viscous cycle of suffering and targeted bullying with untamed egotistical minds?
You tell a lie long enough even you will believe in the lie!
You hide fact from FICTION then even you will believe in this ILLUSION!
You teach an INNOCENT child this systematically, incorrect, mentally abusive system long enough then you will breed nations of lost sheep!
Who is the SHEPHERD leading these minds astray?
Who are the ungodly ones conjuring and manipulating the minds of your sons and daughters?
I say COLOUR was placed to divide and CONQUER your minds!
It is an ILLUSION to SEGREGATE and control your emotional state!
To everyone who do not comprehend my words I have a simple task for each of you...
Open up your front doors every night to every stranger who has your complexion...
Let them in amongst your children!
Let them in amongst your wives and husbands!
Let them in amongst your money and valuables!
Soon you will discover my words to be TRUE! For amongst those same people you believe to be your people you will have PEDOPHILES, MURDERERS, RAPIST, FRAUDSTERS!
One must judge by CHARACTER!
Your brethren are the ones with moral values!
Man has fallen from his spiritual path because of his conditioned mind!
Man you came from a WOMB MAN, she was the first teacher you ever knew, she carried you for months within her holy, divine womb!
She nurtured you, then pushed you out into this existence Called life for she is the BEARER of all NATIONS!
For the man who does not know the truth! The WOMBMAN is your BEARER! She must be protected, loved, never be placed under your feet for not much books are written about her!
She was chosen and designed to carry the chromosomes within her to determine whether you'd be a girl or boy!
She is truly a gift unto the entire human race!
A balance is needed in this world between the masculine and feminine energy, for the masculine energy has become too dominant thus creating a great imbalance...
I pray for all to awaken in oneness, to build a better future for the future generations to come! For humanity to turn back to nature and feed the minds of each child with moral values that benefit the essence of their very souls...
The contents of ones soul is of far greater value than the material! Teach them the value of a seed! Teach them the importance of sharing and expressing empathy! Teach them the importance of looking after nature and why corrupting our very food and water eventually will be the total extinction of the human race! *TEACH THEM WELL AND SHOW THEM LOVE!*
Yhwh is eternal...👁👁👁
Easily one of the biggest shifts in my own thinking were Thomas Sowell's own words on climate change 'it's a scam'. In three minutes he managed to completely unravel the leftist highjacking in an attempt to push forward the green agenda ip there with the Green New Deal. Thank you Thomas Sowell. If anyone is interested I implore you to search on youtube 'Thomas Sowell on Climate Change'
Absolutely great sentence
I think the title of Thomas Sowell’s job is “reality therapist“.
I'm so glad we're giving Tom his roses while he's still alive.
One of the great scholars of our times. In fact in the history of the world.
Thomas Sowell and Victor Davis Hanson are by far my favorite ppl to listen to & grow from - God blessed us immensely with their gifts & talents. Thank you - we owe you a great deal of gratitude for your tireless contributions.
Walter Williams and Milton Friedman
can’t agree more!
My thoughts exactly.
And another guy too, James Tour, a scientist who is a Messianic Jew. A fascinating good person!
Victoria Hebert thx for the tip - will look into!
I have been reading Thomas Sowell's writing since I was a senior in high school. That was 1979. The man's mind can distill complicated subject into simple truths. He is a juggernaut in cognitive thinking.
Thomas Sowell is a great man and a great intellectual. I was working in West Africa most of my adult life. So I only recently heard of Thomas Sowell. One thing I love about him is, that he doesn't care if his ideas/philosophies are popular or not. He is interested in truth. That's what makes him an American treasure.
communism will win
@@amihartz No. Communism always - ALWAYS - loses.
We couldn’t agree more! If you enjoyed the film, make sure to check out sowellfilm.com for information on event screenings and public television airings of the film to watch again!
Like another GREAT man i know.
Thomas's writing should be required reading in high schools and colleges. I admire his work, his intergity, and schlorship. What a great man! Thank you for this documentary.
