Thank you, Dr. Sowell. I see that a lot of the "your ancestors did something to my ancestors" way of thinking has caused a lot of tension in Europe, with occasional warfare, and I especially appreciate pushback against that kind of thinking taking root here.
He mentioned that the number of Europeans brought to Africa as slaves exceeds the number of Africans brought to the Western Hemisphere as slaves. He didn't mention that this was still happening AFTER the United States and most European countries had banned slavery. Every African nation engaged in the slave trade only stopped when the U.S. or a European country literally conquered them in a war. The nation the movie "The Woman King" is supposedly based on was still engaged in the slave trade (and human sacrifice) in the 1890s. Until France conquered them with the express purpose of ending their slave raids on neighboring French colonies.
@@liecrusher3506 Check the wikipedia page for any African nation that existed prior to European conquest. Most of the current nations were 20th century creations from the Europeans giving up control.

A city in North Africa among several we attacked (during the Barbary Wars) for the express purpose of stopping the taking of American sailors as slaves. Every nation that has banned slavery was either European, in the Western Hemisphere, or only did so because one of the aforementioned nations threatened (or carried out) a war against them. Many nations still haven't banned slavery.

Holding desperately on to past wrongs, constantly replaying them in your mind, destroys an individual. So will it do to a group, race or nation. On the other hand, one can remember a past tragedy without allowing it to rule the present.
Stopped watching football when the knee bending took off. Drop all players' income to under $100,000. And, fine them $50,000. a drop. Players ruined football!😢
The historical atrocity was developed in numerous varieties but the creation of the slave codes within the colonies that became the United States is different from what is referred to as a common practice across all continents.
I wish we could compare and contrast American Blacks of Southern background with the most closely related (culturally) poor Southern whites. When Southern blacks migrated to other areas of the United States, so too did Southern whites. It might be difficult to sort out which whites have those Southern roots, but I suspect that the old culture has had similar effects on both blacks and whites to the degree that it was retained.
It is not purely “southern” unless that is your euphemism for “red neck/white trash” culture? From my experience, the effects were very similar. The differences I noted were less single motherhood and the men were more likely to work. The crime patterns were a little different too. The similarities were lack of value for education, fight/violence and alcoholism. I know my experience is anecdotal to the era I grew up and the regions I lived in outside of the South though. But growing up in the rust belt that had a substantial number of lower class whites from Southern stock that migrated for jobs, there was definitely a difference between them and other classes of white peoples.
@quietstorm483 The culture of the poor in the South (black or white) is a blend of two British subcultures. There's a book called Albion's Seed by David Hackett Fischer, which describes four of the founding subcultures in the US. In addition, Frederick Law Olmstead wrote a book about his observations traveling through the South before the Civil War. I recall hearing that someone worked to figure out what the murder rate was in the South prior to the Civil War (not sure where precisely). The best estimate for the murder rate among whites was over 60 per 100,000 per year, which placed them among the most violent societies on earth today.
@@joanhuffman2166 Interesting. Still pales (pun intended 😂) to the black on black crime rate. Black womens in particular were murdered at the rate of one every five hours last year in the United States. There is always some excuse given for them though by white “progressives” and other black people.

Play fooseball... we'll pass you through school. Played foosebal... we'll use your name to hype up our companies interest. No one cares if you're smart. They care how much cash you can bring to their org. Black athletes are protesting the wrong thing.
It may just be a personal opinion from someone that’s spent the majority of their life, serving this country.. if you don’t want to stand and pay respects to the flag, gtfo. Go to another country of your choosing. It’s not like pro athletes can’t afford to do so.
Are there problems still today that linger from the racist past? That's the good question the better question is how to address those because the way in which we address those problems will decide if these problems either continue to linger or are actually solved. Booker T Washington knew that there was a class of individuals that kept the problems in the Forefront of American Minds because it pays. Christopher Hitchens is right in saying that part of the treasury was built upon the backs of slaves and coerced by the whip. But how do you have reparations that wouldn't make an entire group of people mendicant and entitled?
It wouldn’t be right to give money to people who have never been slaves that is taken from people who were never slave owners. Every race or ethnicity of people has been enslaved at one point or another throughout history. Why is it that we don’t hear people in other parts of the world asking for reparations because their ancestors might have been enslaved? Besides the fact that there were a lot of black slave owners during that period of American history, too.
It's about the trillions of dollars that continue to go unpaid (reparations to African descendants of slaves) for the money made in that time. That debt hasn't been forgotten. Simple.
The debt was payed in the lives of thousands of British sailors that died to end the slave trade, not to mentioned the multiplied billions given over the years in welfare and other handouts for being a minority.
Wrong: trillions of dollars were created by the hard work and sparing of Northern europeans who made the new colonies such as the USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand prosperous countries. The slaves worked just in a part of the econony, namely agriculture (and some household). Don"t fprget that the Eurppean migrants also worked and sweat in the previous centuries in the USA :-)
I w!ant reparations for the steel mills and the coal mines that cutrent society benefits from. And reparations for the Chinese for the railroads. Then there is the trillions spent in security, engineering for a modern socisty for all the mindless consumerism, than a trillion in welfare. Some farming for a very elite group 200 hundreds of years ago isn't trillions, lmao. This is based on a very faulty, ignorant, racist notion that all European diaspora showed up at the same time. There is the constant reminder that we are i.migrants too.That we didn't get along in Europe, but all showed up at the same time and are shaking hands here. Most migration didn't even occur till after the civil war. Then WW1, then WW2. The Serbs, the Polish, the Irish, the Italians weren't even involved and the Irish and Italians were treated just as horribly. Victimhood. mentality is a legitimate form of narcissism. A false avatar is created and everyone is expected to participate in it, and is met with hostility when they don't. No one owes you anything.
Just because you’re black doesn’t mean your ancestors were slaves. Some Black people have been shocked to find out their ancestors came here either after the Civil War or they lived in an area up north where there wasn’t any slavery. Where are you getting trillions of dollars? The slaves might’ve saved the plantation owners a few thousand dollars.

It wouldn’t be right to give money to people who have never been slaves that is taken from people who were never slave owners. Every race or ethnicity of people has been enslaved at one point or another throughout history. Why is it that we don’t hear people in other parts of the world asking for reparations because their ancestors might have been enslaved? Besides the fact that there were a lot of black slave owners during that period of American history, too.
It's about the trillions of dollars that continue to go unpaid (reparations to African descendants of slaves) for the money made in that time. That debt hasn't been forgotten. Simple.
The debt was payed in the lives of thousands of British sailors that died to end the slave trade, not to mentioned the multiplied billions given over the years in welfare and other handouts for being a minority.
Wrong: trillions of dollars were created by the hard work and sparing of Northern europeans who made the new colonies such as the USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand prosperous countries. The slaves worked just in a part of the econony, namely agriculture (and some household). Don"t fprget that the Eurppean migrants also worked and sweat in the previous centuries in the USA :-)
I w!ant reparations for the steel mills and the coal mines that cutrent society benefits from. And reparations for the Chinese for the railroads. Then there is the trillions spent in security, engineering for a modern socisty for all the mindless consumerism, than a trillion in welfare. Some farming for a very elite group 200 hundreds of years ago isn't trillions, lmao.
This is based on a very faulty, ignorant, racist notion that all European diaspora showed up at the same time. There is the constant reminder that we are i.migrants too.That we didn't get along in Europe, but all showed up at the same time and are shaking hands here. Most migration didn't even occur till after the civil war. Then WW1, then WW2. The Serbs, the Polish, the Irish, the Italians weren't even involved and the Irish and Italians were treated just as horribly.
Victimhood. mentality is a legitimate form of narcissism. A false avatar is created and everyone is expected to participate in it, and is met with hostility when they don't. No one owes you anything.
Just because you’re black doesn’t mean your ancestors were slaves. Some Black people have been shocked to find out their ancestors came here either after the Civil War or they lived in an area up north where there wasn’t any slavery.
Where are you getting trillions of dollars? The slaves might’ve saved the plantation owners a few thousand dollars.
@@KAT-dg6el It's rather fun to see the race grievance celebrities hearing their genetic heritage contains the kind of people they hate.
