Thomas Sowell books should be required readings in high schools across this country.
I agree but they want Lbtgq nonsense instead
Yes, I agree. Thomas Sowell is an amazing historian and writer. We need to teach true history... its causes and effects.
Middle and high schools
He is, in a lot of places in Europe at least. "Basic Economics".
I read a lot of responses in the feed and decided to respond on this one , because I can totally agree with what is said here. I am a white guy who thinks Thomas Sewell is a national treasure for his intelligence. I wish more Americans would read his works, or at least listen to him on utube. He gives facts on issues. Which is missing from what is being taught in schools. No matter what the truth is people need to hear truth instead of convenient myths, to hide what was done.
I'm a black man that used to be a liberal and thought that America was the worst, until I moved and lived in a third world country. Our level of poverty in America is a level that most people currently living and who have lived, will never obtain. Now I'm a Trump supporter and I love my country.
> Our level of poverty in America is a level that most people currently living and who have lived, will never obtain.
That is not remotely as clear as you intended, in fact it's more easily read to mean the opposite of what you meant. Cause bro is sounds like you're saying we're so poor it's impossible for most people to be this poor.
Then why are illegals immigrants from third world countries coming here and complaining about free food and living in shelters ?
@@Gnaritas42 i dont think i can think of any other country that allows homeless to sqaut in owned homes, free of rent. thousands of migrants have moved here homeless and being moved into shelters, given phones, and given budgeting through the city they are occupying.
@@Gnaritas42 Reading comprehension.
@@Gnaritas42 It is certainly not more easily read to mean the opposite of exactly what he said. Read it again.
Thomas Sowell is an American treasure.
Bs.
@@stevenreed1687 - What makes you say that?
@@shortnessoftime8783 Because you must know all the facts before you accept one opinion of half trues. Sure Sowell speaks some truths; but he acts like he doesn't know why we're in the predicament we're in. Or he's pretending not to know. A Professor should have debated his views. Then people can see why Sowell is not kin folk.
@@Bomooney he’s an anti black bigot whi especially hates poor black ppl . He uses his economics degree to opine on subjects he is not an expert in to denigrate blacks.
He supports people in power , in this country whites, cause of his massive ego!
@@stevenreed1687 Professors DID debate his views though - he studied under Milton Friedman! Sowell was a socialist before he began his studies.
Sowell would be a household name if only he didn't say the uncomfortable truth that people are responsible for their own decisions and actions.
Sowell preaches the BS that anti black folks like to hear. They can then deny the impact of 190 out of 248 years of anti black policies in the US and feel comfortable blaming the bottom caste status of blacks on them!
He is a national treasure
Tbh, he’d be a household name if he wasn’t full of crap
@@gc7534 such as?
@@gc7534 full of crap? Example?
Thank you so much for exposing unknown audience members to Thomas Sowell. He’s a brilliant man and needs to be heard by all Americans.
And so is his mentor, Milton Friedman ❤️. I wish they would watch and react to some Friedman, as well!
I've never heard of him, but I will certainly be looking into him now. 🙂
They both used to appear on Friedman's "Free to Choose" show, so you can see both Sowell and Friedman appear on some TH-cam clips from that show. They both always obliterate the other's side of the debate :)
@@JKforUA I agree and just myself found his name and am becoming more informed. Thank you.
@@missalbania9260
black ppl know show Sowell is. He’s been saying there’s no racism since the 70s
It's funny how they made George Floyd a hero , and Not this man. ...❤
Not funny, intentional and criminal !
Well when a person gets murdered in camera THAT does tend to get people’s attention in ways that going around talking about stuff does not. Let’s not try to downplay the tragic experience of a lynching victim.
he was on high doses of fentanyl. I would rather admire a non criminal non fentanyl addict unlike a media brainwashed slave@@karimbennett5651
Floyd wasn't lynched. It has been proven he died of a drug overdose. Both the prosecutor and the judge knew it. The guys who were lynched were the cops by all the black racists like you.
@@karimbennett5651he was high on fentanyl and was already suffocating from that!! Go back and review the full tapes that were finally released.
Dr. Thomas Sowell is brilliant. WHY is he not getting noticed?
He’s been shunned since the 1970’s. Not a liberal black man.
Because of the ones in charge of the media and information
Woke/Libtard academia will NEVER recognize him
He's just too new on the scene, too young. Give him a few more years 😂
Because truth hurts...
I'm a white woman in my 60's, I'll bet these young men doing this video have way more money than I do. People can do anything no matter the color of their skin. It's all in their character, integrity, and respect for themselves and others !! You guys keep up the good work and never let money or fame go to your head or change your heart.
I receive $1000 a monthly.
Looks like they are launching a line of clothing.
@@Gruuvin1 Yes, they've gotten popular pretty fast. I hope they stay grounded and mentally well !
So another White woman is telling us that race is irrelevant because we are all judged by character and integrity alone?
They are making a lot of money pandering to the anti black populace in this country. Its been the tried and true way for black folks to get rich quick!
Thomas Sowell is a genius dropping truth bombs;💣
My mom introduced me to Thomas Sowell about 20 years ago in grade school. She would write him and he would always write back. He’s an incredible man
Percentage wise, 8.6% of White Americans live in poverty, compared to 17.1% of Black Americans. Numbers wise, 17 million White Americans line in poverty compared to 7.2 million Black Americans.
There are a lot more White Americans who are broke than there are Black Americans. It's not a competition and there is nothing to win, but just going by percentages it gives a skewed view. The reality is that for every Black American living in poverty, there are 2.5 White Americans. Poverty is not something exclusive to any one race.
I remember when I was a kid
Sleeping 5 boys in one bed. I’m white
Yeah per capita black ppl r way more likely to be poor stop picking and choosing stats
I think Thomas Sowell would have to tell these numbers (of poor people in America), elsewhere some choose to ignore the facts
When 75% of black babies are born to single mothers it increases the amount of poverty! Whites have lower single motherhood so the poverty by percentage is lower. When 75% of white babies are born to single mothers the poverty rates will be statistically equal
@@tennisplayer5490 #1 thing that could change the plight of poor blacks is to wait to have children until AFTER you’re married. Child, of any color, in a fatherless home is ‘statistically’ way more apt to drop out of HS, abuse drugs/alcohol, join a gang, have sex at a young age, get pregnant or get someone pregnant, involved in criminal activity, go to jail. How’s that stat for you??? Also, it’s almost impossible to build generational wealth if you’re from a single parent home.
Sowell is an icon. Sad that this man is not being taught in every single school.
He gets labeled "one of the black faces of white supremacy" because he gives basic economic truths.
Ofcourse not, that would fcuk up the whole demoncrat system and the grift for many blacks…
Agree he should be, but his message conflicts to much with the Socialst school system, they don't want that.
In most public schools in America, most of the teachers would be too ignorant to understand any of his writings.
The smartest man I've ever met was my Psychiatrist and when complaining about all my problems in life he told me, "you have to play the cards you're dealt." It sucks hearing that but man is it the truth.
Or change the cards!!
@@NYShepherdGirl you can't change the parents you were born to and the experiences you went through. Those are your cards and you either have to play them or just sit with em. Basically whatever your circumstances are is what they are and you can't change that. You can improve your circumstances by playing the cards you were dealt but you cannot change the cards you were dealt. Its an uphill battle but its your only option.
@@tonyg490 NO but as you live your life you can change your abilities, your environment, and your personality to increase your possibilities 75+ yrs old here!! Done it in many areas of when what, why, how, when!!
That's the advice I gave myself during my divorce.
@@NYShepherdGirl - Yes, but that's what it means to play your cards, as opposed to just keeping them in your hand and not doing anything with them. What you're specifying is already included in the phrase "to play the cards you're dealt".
I'm white and far from rich. I grew up with my Mom after my Dad abandoned us and my two little sisters. I've NEVER had it made. I've worked my whole life and still can't get ahead. Especially now, under Biden!
I got three raises under Trump.
I NEED at least three MORE under biden.
Out of curiousity, did you ever get your fathers side of the story?
I’m with you. I’m not “white” but I’m Greek and Puerto Rican and I too grew up without a dad with two siblings. It was the hardest life, a sh*t show. However, we both made it out alive. And to answer the dude who asked you if you got your fathers story.. hahaha to him.. fathers story was “they weren’t there!” Dude wants to make an excuse for men not being there for kids.
@@PB22559why? You wanna try to make an excuse for dead beat dads? 😂
@@ordinarypete Most single mothers turn their kids away from their fathers, thats why.
Let me tell you one story, I am a brown legal immigrant millennial, I was introduced to Thomas Sowell by a white conservative boomer, who most Democrats will think he will be racist but he told me about this man.
I could listen to Thomas Sowell all day. The man is a thinker. I never even heard about him in school. I learned about him from my dad watching his interviews back in the day.
One of America's greatest hidden treasures! Still super sharp even at his advanced age. Check out his debate with Buckley on Firing Line I think? It's from the 70s and he is sharp as a tack! Big Sowell fan😂 Much love from SC!
He also has a soothing voice 😊
@@Blakmagic88If he had been my teacher at school, i would probably have listened.
Why would you learn about anything useful in school? Teachers are sub-humans
You 4 young men are wonderful. The world would be much better if there were more people like you.
They are good young men. They are educating themselves everyday. They want the best for our country and the world.
talk about low expectations...
My father was in the military, we lived in many foreign countries. When i was 10-12 years of age we lived in the Philippines. I saw most people living in abject poverty. I was so happy to come back to the US where hope and possibility could lead to prosperity. Perspective is a powerful.
I'm 72 and grew up in Asia in the 1950s. I know for a fact that as an old woman living alone in the US, I am living in the most blessed situation in history for people like me. I live "small," but I have cable (just think about that).
Half a million blacks have been murdered all across Africa in the last several years, but you won’t hear anything about that in the main stream media. My cousin spent 6 years in Haiti , trying to keep an orphanage and school open and funded. She had to escape in the middle of the night because gangs were killing whites wherever they found them. And the killing has only gotten worse since. As a 73 year old white woman, I hope for your continued success, and I can’t only pray Thomas Sowell, one of my heroes, lives a very long life, and teaches more people your age wisdom.
I have been saying this for years . There are a lot of countries where people get killed . But the media only chooses some to talk about. I don't think the average person really sees what is going on .there in a bubble
Sadly, when the 2030 census reveals whites are actually only 30% of America, hunting whites will intensify to that level there as well: Haiti, Zimbabwe, South Africa, America, and its already begun in (western) Europe,
their cities are already non-European. This why another world war is inevitable, because of the power vacuum that will be caused by America's collapse into a dysfunctional 3rd world, which will hasten Europe's collapse. 🤷
Well, when economy get bad, people try to find a scapegoat, and it's same how in western countries they blame emmigrants, in Africa they blame non-blacks, be it whites or other non-black africans (north african, touarges, arabs ..etc)
Sowell is a idiot whose been saying there’s no racism since the 70s.
White-on-White killings are mostly related to war violence ( WW1, WW2 etc), while Black-on-Black violence is mostly criminal violence ( robbery, drugs etc)
Dr. Thomas Sowell an American treasure. Much blessing to all you young game changers. May Jesus bless all of you with success upon success. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Sowell speaking is the only person I've seen to get these boys to shut up for longer than two minutes😂😂❤
To old guys like me, these dudes give us hope for the future.
LOL. So true. I just think they get overly excited at some of the things they are watching. But that is certainly not a bad thing as long as that energy is projected toward something positive. I would be proud to have any of these young men as my son. They might not look like me but I'd be the proudest Dad on the planet because they are making good decisions and not falling into the trap of group think. It's not easy to swim against the tide and these young men were doing that well before the rest of their peers finally opened their eyes.
I love when minds open 🧠
These are grown men, not boys.
Yeonmi Park was shocked when she saw homeless people in America had cell phones. She said the homeless people in America are richer than the majority of the people in North Korea.
There is still slavery in Africa!
If you feel oppressed in The United States of America 🇺🇸, that’s on you!
I made it out of hell, my childhood, and made it on my own no help! Anyone can do it!
Me too. If you feel oppressed that is on you. I am 52 years old and NEVER in my life have felt oppressed. I was born poor at home to a young girl.I was close to my father who was present from the beginning . I took that adversity and made it work for me. I will not die that way, also I married, graduated from college, had children, raised my children and I have a wonderful life and I am brown skinned, a woman, and an American. I cannot imagine living in another country. I have traveled and lived abroad and interacted with many people, Black people in America are actually the most privileged Black people on this planet.
@@user-et4yr2fm9e good for you! 👏🏾
I couldn’t agree with you more! ✨
There are more slaves around today than during the Atlantic slave trade days. In America and most countries. Sex slaves being the biggest portion and unfortunately to many are children. Organ harvesting, sex trade, labor workers, and even some drug runners. Most Americans don’t even want to think about it cuz the evil powerful ones want us fighting eachother over racism, oppressors, DEI, 10 thousand different genders and sexuality, right, left, religion, foreign wars we have instigated, and other bs so we pay no attention to the evil around us.
People always want to bring up slavery from the past, unless you bring up white slaves, but ignore the slavery going on today. Sad. Team victims…. Screw that. I wanna be on team victory and save the slavery happening today.
In south east Asia and South America too. Some say even here in UsA and I know my friends mom worked 35 yrs ago for cold food storage facilities and there were migrants working under stolen dead Americans SS cards and working for nearly free under one South American man who housed and controlled them and took most their money. This practice I’m sure still exists and many companies ignore it
Stop spreading misinformation. Africa is a continent not a country
One of the things about Thomas Sowell is how he can explain dam near everything in a simple and understandable way. A great person
I don't know any rich white people, I feel left out.
I knew a guy who had a pool one time that was pretty cool.
The richest man I know is black.....and im white lol.
And as a 44-year old white man, I truly don’t know any white racists or white supremacists. Can’t think of a time in life where I have (except in my teen years).
We're all in debt to the system. Doesn't matter skin color. I could be a multi-millionaire on paper, gov't is still coming to get their piece.
Let me introduce myself....
Sowell’s voice and strength of knowledge is better than a back rub!
I wish that gentleman could live forever!
We need him now and later!
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. I learned about Thomas Sowell from Rush Limbaugh. Rush loved and admired Sowell and always recommended his audience to read his books and listen to his interviews.
That's where I heard of him too
I heard about Thomas Sowell from Rush Limbaugh too,on his radio show long ago
Racist rush limbaugh loves this guy somethings wrong
My family is from West Africa. I’m a first generation American. The viewpoints are COMPLETELY different. If you’re in America and you choose to not get an education, you’re shunned in our societal groups and will be deemed useless.
We weren’t even taught about slavery until school. It’s upsetting and annoying to talk about that to my relatives because they just do not feel like it’s a factor right now. Push yourself (get therapy if need be) to be at your best!
Yeah but they all know very well about colonization and to blame the french or british ...
They choose what to remenber ...
@@TelManothHexperax I respectfully disagree. There’s an overwhelming desire to be aware of the past, but not let it stop efforts to excel in life.
I’m willing to bet that’s why Nigerian immigrants have such an incredibly high rate of academic achievement compared to other ethnic immigrants in the U.S.
The knowledge of the past appears to cripple some, leading to what seems to be a psychological inability to refrain from creating life altering barriers that get blamed on white people & oppression. Whole time a lot of it is self inflicted. 🤷🏾♀️
@@PiperJudlen there maybe a huge disparity between african migrant who go to usa and african who come to Europe.
I am french and a lot of african migrant have .... sélective memory.
They all know about the slavery/colonisation but "forget" north african white slavery / musulman slavery ... or even the rôle african empire had in slavery .
They all know about the CFA , colonisation and strange relation between French gouvernement big compagnie and their dictator but all forget the fact they keep their dictator for 20 / 30 years, the corruption and the fact they build nothink since the end of colonisation ( train/road /hospital/ school) .
They all know how to blame blame blame but never seee their own responsability .
And i dont say France dont have responsability in all this ... but France play for themself like china play for china , usa play for usa and russia play for russia ...
And no one will admit that it was black Africans who rounded-up black Africans to sell as slaves.
@@TelManothHexperaxThe French decided to to have controlling interest in West Africa long after Colonialism ended, so blaming them for poor infrastructure is disingenuous when they had puppet leaders
Man I love you guys! You give me hope because you actually think! I retired a few years ago as a teacher, and my biggest regret is not having young men like you in class. It is men like you who will make a difference in other lives. Teach on my young brothers.
Americans are spoiled!! Unless you've spent time in a third world country, you have no idea how fortunate and BLESSED you are to be here. Love you guys!
I was mad that I had to walk with no shoes, until I met a man with no feet. Appreciate what you have. Just even being alive is a blessing.
Without this sounding patronizing in any way, I have to say… It’s been pure joy to witness the growth the four of you have had over the past (nearly) two years, evolving from inquisitive young men into intelligent and well-rounded men. Impressive doesn’t quite cut it. Kudos to you for embarking on this journey of intellectual evolution and understanding through your channel, and your choice of content to absorb over time. I do hope that more and more young men stumble upon your channel and join you on this journey. 👏🏼👏🏼
Encouragement is not patronizing.
Have you guys checked up on Thomas Sowell's good friend, Walter E. Williams RIP. He taught economics at George Mason University. I was reading the books of these two giants of American back in the 90s
I love Walter Williams. I hope that they check some of his work out too
I agree on Dr Williams, and have to throw Milton Friedman into the mix.
Friedman was a teacher and mentor to Sowell, and Sowell was a friend and mentor to Williams.
I first heard Walter E Williams as a fill-in on Rush's radio show.
I am thankful for those times, he was a good man
@@bobprivate8575 absolutely. I think Friedman is the most influential economist of the 20th century. Of course, that also includes this quarter century
@@sandyshoenberger2697 that's excellent and good to know. Rush introduced so many great men and women to the world many of whom went on to distinguished careers
I love how I can see the wheels turning, (the looks on your faces) as you learn new to you things! I'm a teacher at heart so I love to see people change how they interact with others around them as they learn!
My favorite teacher taught me one thing. "We are all students of life." Every day brings something new.
Thomas Sowell!!!
I have never in my life had spinners or taken a payday loan. I started saving at six, as comical as saving a few pennies a week was. Cut grass, took out trash by the time I was ten. By eleven I discovered the peach and pecan Grove farmers were willing to pay a dollar a tail for squirrels, and I took my beagle & 22 rifle & started making actual money. My best day was 180 tails. The farmer came out to observe the next day to make sure I wasn't cheating.
At twelve my parents gave me an apple computer as a reward, and a single share of apple stock in 1981. Mom "if you buy a company's products, and would again, buy their stock.". Very simple philosophy and works pretty well. All of my squirrel tail and later programming money went into Apple, Microsoft after 1986, Intel and amd.
AND today I have a full time job. I don't have to. My retirement was fixed in the early 2000's. I drive a humble car, though I have had a couple Porsches over the years, always used, always great bargains. And in July I take my delivery of a model 3 performance. The first new performance car I've ever bought.
The VAST majority of of people, really everyone except my Father, have not the slightest clue what my net worth is even close to.
If you are young, it is all about habits and not being foolish with your money. You don't have to make a million dollars to be one a multimillionaire, but it will take 20 to 30 years of discipline.
Saving 2 pennies a day over a lifetime really adds up. It's insane how it does and people don't realize it.
@@thomaslehrer9913Bud do you know what math is? If you saved 2 pennys a day for 25 years you’d have less than $200 😂
I’ve hustled since I was young. I am 64 and near retirement and am working two jobs. I love both jobs and volunteer outside of work. I have a great life and am about to enjoy the fruits of my labor.
@@the1prodig432not if you invest in good stocks early on in life! As the video said he got very good stocks and probably hold on to them over decades. It does pay off. Especially if you reinvest dividends too.
You are a rockstar! The right time, the right place, and a smart mom with the right advice!
My wife teaches kindergarten. Every year she has a kid or two from Nigeria. They are always the smartest and the hardest working students and they have two parents who care and are together and out work everyone. They are black and are better than the white students. They don’t identify with American born blacks and they don’t want to be associated with them. It is wild.
Is this the anti Freedmen forum?! Those Nigerian kids wouldn’t be in this country if we, black Freedmen, hadn’t fought in 60s to undo the racist 1924 immigration act which limited immigrations to Europeans only.
Lots of white are happy to hv black immigrants in US because they have no claim on US and haven’t lived through the 190 years of slavery and abt black discrimination that Freedmen have.
I think when Nigerians are given an opportunity to live in the US they are grateful and don’t feel like a victim, they feel lucky!
@@susans.9308 correct
I thank God everyday for abundantly supplying my needs and protecting me from my wants.
Gratitude and thankfulness is a key to happiness and joy. Paul said it when he proclaimed he knew what it was to be happy in plenty or in lack. I’ve had both. My attitude had the power to ruin my happiness in either place.
I love when you do reactions with Thomas Sowell's. I learn some very valuable information.
Thomas Sowell's words will travel with time. I am not black but have followed Thomas Sowell for years and listening to common sense observations and connections. He puts numbers to the dots on the page and leads me to a beautiful picture. A true genius.
You guys are the best! Keep it up. I am 67yrs old and love watching you. You give me hope .
Thomas Sowell is a treasure!
When Sowell heard the "sh!t talking" from the Washington Post - he laughed. Love him!
This guy Sowell is an absolutely stunningly truthful man. I wish more people would listen to this incredibly wise man. He's not just a master of facts, which is true, he's a master of insight and wisdom.
I have been listening to Mr Sowell for a few years now and he is Great! I truly believe his greatest asset is his Common Sense. Thank you young men for wanting to learn and pass on the wisdom that you are hearing and seeing. You are the future of this Country!
Thomas Sowell is a legend...Good to see that your listening to him...get it out there.
Two American heroes, Booker T. Washington and Thomas Sowell.
Thank you for honoring Washington. He was a history changing, remarkable man. I did my master's thesis on the Rosenwald school-building program. Washington's supporter, Julius Rosenwald, was also immensely influential.
Dr King,Malcolm-X,Fred Hampton,etc,etc,..there're plenty others also.
Thank you for exposing me to Thomas Sowell! I googled him, and my goodness!! Very impressive gentleman, and I am ordering a few of his most popular books to get started. Many comments were that his best book should be required high school reading! His opinions on public schools and poverty are what I would have to agree with!
Thank you brothers, I’m so glad I discovered your channel! In just three clips I have learned so much!
On a macro level this is excellent. On a personal level I tell people the difference between those who are successful vs struggling is their locus of control. If you have an internal locus of control, i.e. believe you are in the driver's seat of your life, you have much higher rate of success. If you have an external locus of control, i.e. you believe things outside you drive your life, you'll generally struggle as you blame society, your boss, your parents, etc.
You always bring something unique to the table, can't get enough!
ASSBOT
Thomas Sowell is so brilliant. I am always educated whenever I watch a video of him speaking! Thanks for this.
I always love listening to Thomas Sowell. You guys need to watch/react to Trump’s rally tomorrow in the Bronx. AOC/libs are losing their minds. It’s going to be incredible 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🩷🙏🏼💁🏼♀️
as denzel washington always says, "it's culture, not color"
I'm Glad to see a group of young Bruthas LEARNING as a committee!! Keep showcasing you guys! Great video discussions. These are the kind of talks our young people NEED!✊💯❤️
I love Thomas Sowell. He is so brilliant. You guys pick such diverse topics. I love watching you.
Thank you for having Thomas Sowell on your show again. This man is a TREASURE. An absolute treasure. And, you young men, are helping to "make America Great Again".
You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work.
React to Milton Friedman, he was Sowell's mentor and one of the greatest economists ever.
Free to choose stuff is pretty enjoyable to watch 👌🏼
MORE THOMAS SOWELL PLEASE
Gratitude is the mindset of success.
Absolutely! The minute you start whining, you stop and go nowhere. I am 72, absolutely do not hang out with the "oppressed elderly." Yes, everyone seems to have contracted the virus. Yes, if we are lucky enough to get to old age, we are going to start deteriorating and eventually die - surprise. Lots of us, though, just love the fact that we are waking up every day in a world where we can sleep peacefully at night, buy bananas in the middle of winter, watch wonderful movies in our own living room, and learn anything we want to learn just by watching TH-cam!
THESE FOUR BLK MEN HAVE A CHANCE TO CHANGE THINGS…PRAY FOR PEACE…LOVE YOUR NIEBOR…LOVE YOUR CREATOR 😊👍
BLK ? What is that BelgiumLakersKoncederation?
Neighbor...
...That word is hard. English is weird
Guys just keep doing what you are doing.
Thomas Sowell ...so good, it's good that his knowledge and wisdom is well documented as he's getting on in years
I remember subscribing to you guys when you had only around 100K subs. I'm glad to see the channel where it is now!
So much respect for providing this message and perspective!
I'm an older white British guy and like to see younger people like this family thinking for themselves and not just following whatever some politician tells them.
I think reading the book Animal Farm by George Orwell would help many people understand how they are being manipulated by leaders, including leaders who came from their own community or situation, and seized the chance to exploit those who are weaker in some way.
Dr. Sowell should be required reading in High School. His knowledge is so extensive. I would love to have a copy of all of his books.
Just Imagine if Thomas Sowell were taught in American Schools 😢
American schools are controlled by democrats. Dems hate sowell.
The democrats run the schools. You see where that got us. Just like the country down hill
I love you guys, Thomas Sowell, and America!
It has been a pleasure to watch you guys grow with knowledge and understanding. As an immigrant(legal and proud of it) I have experience with different perspectives on life. We came here, I as a child with my parents with less than nothing. Now I am a grandfather of 3. I as an adult benefited from my parents sacrifices' (too many to mention), my children did so as well by my and my wife's hard work. We were giving nothing, but earned everything. Now my grandchildren are the beneficiary of my parents, myself, wife and my children's hard work. How dare anyone call it privilege without knowing the sacrifices and the forfeiting of time and pleasure just to improve the family's standard of living.
It's the state of your mind regardless of race or struggle. It's a choice to stay labeled or be the one who defines yourself once you know purpose
Sowells’ command of historical knowledge and the ability to apply its lessons to anybody at any time or place in history and predict the outcome is truly staggering…he is an amazing thinker-the Plato of out time imo
We ALL have more power than we realize,, I raised myself since I was 9 years old with no help,, It is now 54 years later & I survived..Was it easy?..No,, But i did it & Although I am a humble man,, I can/will say that I am very proud of the man I raised myself to be.
I love Thomas Sowell's mind, especially as expressed in his more serious books. I'm not talking so much about the collections of newspaper articles, but the many books he wrote as books. He gets to his conclusions by sifting and re-sifting facts until the facts reveal their own relationships and the truth speaks for itself. He doesn't get to conclusions through ideology. He's a really incredible teacher of objectivity. I wish every American would read his best books. They teach you to think about the world of fact, and get out of the world of ideology, surface judgements, emotional bias, and all that.
Priorities. Things are only as important as we want them to be. If wealth building is important and leaving your children your legacy, start early. Don’t spend what you can’t afford. Save for what you want. In a few days, it may not seem important. Educate. Everyone can get a library card. I took my two sons all the time. I asked for books for their birthdays. They each have their own small libraries as do my husband and I. Read. Discover. Deep dive on subjects. Love you all. Proud of your numbers as your audience expands. 💕💕💕
My favorite series is the idiots guides. They cover just about everything.
Truth!
You have to remember people are told and taught they are underprivileged and oppressed. It conditions them to not try, not do well, etc. And it's very very hard to open their eyes to the truth, because then it's having to face a world where there are no excuses anymore for not working to better their situation.
Who tells them that?
The greatest privilege is not racial, not geographical, not financial.... the GREATEST privilege is to know and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

You guys are 🔥🔥🔥. Thomas Sowell is a TREASURE. Thanks🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You guys gotta get Thomas Sowell on your podcast
Y’all are so refreshing to see and hear. Clearly you have not decided to buy the company line. Thomas Sowell is one of the few honest Americans along with Dr. Walter Williams.
Get Thomas Sowell's book *Basic Economics* and try to find the word 'depreciation'. Use the electronic version of course.
There were 200,000,000 motor vehicles in the United States in 1995. Where did the depreciation go? When do you ever hear American economists say anything about what consumers lose on Depreciation?
“The game of monopoly is a great example of how the distribution of wealth will not make you successful.” - very great example. Thank you for sharing.
I liked listening to you young guys comments , - from a white boy who lives in a black (50%) neighborhood ; we all get along !
Blessed to be in America!
Bless your heart. Gratitude is always the way.
I love my homeland Ghana too.
Another Sowell reaction, I click instantly 💪🏿🔥
I don't miss the "brain on drugs" commercials with the cracked eggs. hahaha Damn I'm old.....
Im from Australia and last year we had a referendum, called the Voice, where the indigenous claimed that their skin colour and colonialism was the reason for disparity in outcomes. I was trying to push the words and quotes of Thomas Sewell and was ridiculed. The indigenous population would go nuts to hear him call them "stone age" "backwards due to isolation" and "hadn't discovered iron even though they sat on large deposits of iron ore." Thomas Sewell can get away with saying those things, but when I suggested these things i was called a racist and told Im ignorant.... 🤦♂️
Had they invented the wheel before Europeans came
@-whackd the response from the indigenous population is that they didn't need the wheel. There weren't any large animals to domesticate and put wagons onto and they didn't have material possessions that they needed to transport. They were nomadic and didn't need to move large rocks to build permanent structures. Apparently they didn't need the wheel or written language or the need for iron tools. And they wonder why there is a discrepancy in outcomes and blame it on colonisation when its clear that even before a white man set foot on Australia, there was a vast gap in the technological and social structures between the two cultures. If you listen to the indigenous population they lived a utopian dream until the white man came with their wheel and language and food preservation methods and permanent structures and social structures that allows all to share in the commonwealth. And that would be true if you ignored the fact that the indigenous Australians are also migrants who set up colonies and murdered raped and plundered other indigenous nations before the arrival of the white man. Why is the finger being pointed at the white man for repairations when the indigenous population engaged in the same actions against each other?
It’s hard for some people to hear the truth.
@@-whackd oldest found wheel i think was found near india. estimated to be about 5500 years old. that by no means means it was first.
It’s so nice so see you guys evolve over time watching treasures like Sowell… I hope more people wake up and embrace a powerful mindset and not a victim mentality
There is a side to this conversation that isn't really relevant but I think is worth observing. I have seen many baby boomers attain a good life and wealth. However if their kids didn't have to struggle and EARN something (especially self respect) they also never learned how to appreciate and manage that wealth they inherited. History is full of extremely wealthy families that had kids that eventually ruined everything given to them. We all truly need to earn our way though life.
Dr. Thomas Sowell is such a wealth of knowledge. Definitely want to read his book. Thanks for sharing this video
I'm so pumped that black men are fed up and starting to come to their own conclusions.
I'm excited to see what systems and ideas are coming from average people.
Also, the CIA is who started shipping cocaine into LA where it was cooked down into crack. The crack epidemic was caused by the CIA, and so was the heroin during the Vietnam war.
This isn't a black or white thing. It not buying those Jordan's every time they are released.
Thomas Sowell is the GOAT though...
If some people read Malcolm after his jail time they would find great things in his words.
My favorite quote is "The white liberal is the worst enemy to America, and the worst enemy to the black man..."
To paraphrase.... They are Chameleons... They seem to be on your side but never really are. I would rather you know my intentions. You can hate me or not, but you know where I stand. These people are fake and change there stance every day. Again I welcome the hate for being honest.
It's a sign of a weak man to not make his intentions known. Man to man we know our kind. It's only politicians that lie to the public.
I have never in my life had spinners or taken a payday loan. I started saving at six, as comical as saving a few pennies a week was. Cut grass, took out trash by the time I was ten. By eleven I discovered the peach and pecan Grove farmers were willing to pay a dollar a tail for squirrels, and I took my beagle & 22 rifle & started making actual money. My best day was 180 tails. The farmer came out to observe the next day to make sure I wasn't cheating.
At twelve my parents gave me an apple computer as a reward, and a single share of apple stock in 1981. Mom "if you buy a company's products, and would again, buy their stock.". Very simple philosophy and works pretty well. All of my squirrel tail and later programming money went into Apple, Microsoft after 1986, Intel and amd.
AND today I have a full time job. I don't have to. My retirement was fixed in the early 2000's. I drive a humble car, though I have had a couple Porsches over the years, always used, always great bargains. And in July I take my delivery of a model 3 performance. The first new performance car I've ever bought.
The VAST majority of of people, really everyone except my Father, have not the slightest clue what my net worth is even close to.
If you are young, it is all about habits and not being foolish with your money. You don't have to make a million dollars to be one a multimillionaire, but it will take 20 to 30 years of discipline.
I haven’t watched y’all in months. It seems so much more grown and mature. Good job fellas
Advice: Play a clip that hooks the audience before you play the intro commercial.
I say this with love.
Yeah the intro/merch sale is not a good idea for opening. They need to be separate or it makes both seem cheaper. I've watched this channel for like 2 years and the opening now is rough
Either buy a shirt, fast forward, or STFU!
I like their setup the way it is. The audience is already hooked because these guys have great content..no clip necessary.
I like it the way it is
I just fast forward like 10, 15 seconds now. No harm, no foul. These boys deserve to get paid. Takes a lot of balls to do what they're doing, especially with all the backlash they get from their own race. I can't wait to see what they're doing in 10 years. Cheers!
I am a white woman, and an independent voter. I grew up in extreme poverty in Idaho. We lived in a broken down house with holes in the floors, walls, and ceiling. We had no running water, no electricity, and no heating. The winteres were brutal. With 8 kids in the family we never had enough food and were often hungry. We didn't go to school. By the grace of God I taught myself to read, and educated myself and my younger siblings. Poverty is colorblind, and does not discriminate. I worked several jobs as a teenager to pull myself out of that poverty. All of my siblings worked to become successful adults, it was not easy but America is the hope that we can overcome the conditions we were born into. Its ignorant to assume that all white people are wealthy and have privilege. These young men give me hope that the propaganda machine of the democratic party is finally being seen for what it is. GOD BLESS AMERICA! "LAND OF THE FREE HOME OF THE BRAVE"
I applaud your success!
We're cut from the same cloth.
In my part of Appalachia, we still do not have running water and the ground water is contaminated from the mining, so no well.
Still trying to find the privileges...
@@feelingcreative7649 I watched a documentary on Appalachia and the poverty there. It's shocking that so many Americans live in 3rd world conditions in the most wealthy powerful nation in the world. My heart goes out to you. Be strong and rise above the hand that was dealt to you.
@user-fr5ic5qj3y Thank you for your kind words of encouragement.
This is my story of hope back to you.
I went away for a few years to work a great job, I had everything. I just wasn't happy and pinned away for my family so much that I actually chose to come home to be here for my aging parents.
My family means more to me than any THING money can buy.
I decided to retire and hang with my fam every day, hahaha
I have to tell you, I never slept better, and I haven't had one minute of regret.
We still don't have water, but we have each other. FJB
The idea behind the word "systemic" is to artfully justify the perpetual study of an issue without ever showing progress or even resolving it. Doing this allows them to "own" the issue; to be the authority on the issue, and with that authority, become the authors of new manufactured issues.
These young men give me hope ‼️‼️❤️❤️🇨🇱
Should react to the British crusade against against slavery by Sargon of Akkad
I have such high hopes for each one of you here. I love to listen to your intelligence at such young ages. I FULLY expect and pray that the next GREAT Dr. Thomas Sowell will come out of this group!! May God continue to bless you all!❤ 🙏
It is never “smarter” to rent a home when buying a home is equally viable. The people who say they would rather rent than buy a home, even when the economy is favorable to homeownership, are simply afraid of the increased responsibility.
Or do not have a good track record of stable income. You can be living in a good economy and still be jumping from job to job because of skill or health factors (or other externals). Not everyone is a stable employee so a lot of people don't have the confidence of keeping up with payments on a house for 20-35 years. I pitty the people who bought in NYC or LA and have to live in the post pandemic times of debauchery and inflation.
Buying property is a big financial risk which can be affected by so many circumstances beyond your control. Each person has to weigh up the risks and make a personal decision. When I hear of all the homeowners who are now living in tents on the street, people’s paid up homes being sold from under them by HOAs and scammers, losing their homes because they can’t afford the land taxes charged by the government, I don’t blame people for choosing to rent.
I agree with that 100%, I rented for 10 years before buying my first house (saving pennies for a down payment). You figure what you're paying for rent (that's your mortgage), then buy the littlest house you can in the best neighborhood you can find that little house in. Take care of it. It will appreciate. A few years, maybe 10, later, you sell and move up. Rinse and repeat. Then put every cent into getting rid of your mortgage. Bingo, you're sailing into old age with a lovely paid-off home (which means all your retirement money is yours). That, my friends, is how it is done. If you rent all your life, you'll still be renting when you die with zero to show for it.
Owning a home is only of value because of laws governing finances. That is the opposite of humanity and has nothing to do with happiness.
@@karenk2409 And why would that matter? You’re dead!
Ok, if leaving an inheritance for your children is of prime importance to you, then fine, but unfortunately these things don’t always end up helping our children in the end. It’s not guaranteed. Our parents/grandparents generation felt they could rely on having a steady job for the same company for most of their lives, but sadly those days are gone.
Glad yall brothers are soaking up this knowledge, I salute 🫡
