My issue is that ‘liberal’ is always presented as ‘good’ and ‘desirable’ and ‘right’ and conservatives presented as ‘bad’, ‘uneducated’ or just ‘haven’t got the memo yet’. And that’s objectionable to me (speaking as a ‘classical liberal’ with both left and right leanings on different topics). I loathe the quasi religious tribalism and irrationality of the modern Left as much as I always used to loathe it’s counterpart on the Right. Nowadays I seem to find conservatives far more reasonable and aligned with my values which feels weird but I can’t deny the truth. I will never tribally align with any particular side but right now I find the modern Left FAR FAR more dangerous than Trump or MAGA.

I love that she says that the n word is still used casually and that it should be zero tolerance, but fails to mention that it's mostly Black people using.
Yeah I've only heard it once used as an insult in person and that was on the street where a black woman had already called a white woman several racist things and the white woman called her the n-word in response and said "what? you can call me that but I can't call you a n?" still unacceptable but she had a point...
I'm 50, and I've NEVER heard the word used by anyone my age or younger- only a few people my grandparents age, and I've lived in every time zone in the country while in the military.
What would really be interesting would be to do a completely anonymous survey amongst his students to find out how many lean conservative and how many liberal and then later have an open show of hands for whichever side the students associate. We might then have a better idea of whether conservatives are afraid to speak or not in American universities today.
The girl in the front's argument against him was that Trump actually is a racist, and she used two quotes that are known and web-searchable. In reality, neither one of those quotes are racist. Her argument wasn't weak, it was invalid. She interrupted him with an INVALID argument that didn't even address what he said. Yes, we are in big trouble. We are in Mike Judge's idiocracy already.
Amazing the idiots that are being taught at this institution are so out of touch with reality. Never accept facts even when it's shown directly to them.
It's called fear. There is no upside to admitting you just learned some and maybe the Papa John guy is not really racist. But there is downside to being misunderstood or being misquoted.
Well, On one hand you've got a single professor trying to teach these students critical thinking skills, whilst on the other hand all their other professors are teaching liberal agenda's and hate. He's sadly outnumbered and unfortunately professors like him don't normally stay employed.
In the end we find out that Sandman was just standing there, and the Native American guy came up to him and started pounding the drum in his face, and Sandman was just kind of frozen, having no idea what it means, or what to do. Yet somehow when someone comes over and starts pounding a drum in his face, he is racist?
I was very excited about this discussion at first. I hoped real progress would be made. Sadly, it is clear that even a professor with a platform can't clear out all the brain washing our youth has endured. It's so irrational it hurts.
Wow could take the blinders off even for a moment and let him enlighten them. I’m conservative and I’m addicted to his videos. I wish I was as privileged as everyone that class to be able to sit in that room.
Why did she say Trump says all Hispanics are racist and drugies which he never said. People should do their research before just parroting what they others say.
This prof has balls of steel. Great discussion. BTW, I'm watching this the day after Biden announced he's going to begrudgingly resume building a border wall. Those kids' heads must be completely frozen with cognitive dissonance.
So much of what he said fell on deaf ears. The end of the video was nothing but "the liberal media narrative" down to tge out of context quotes and misquotes. Hopefully he got through to some of them.
Right? and this was 4 years ago and I feel like it's gotten so much worse. I sent my first kid to University and she was absolutely ostracized for having conservative views--- and she is half japanese half white. I won't send my other 3 to anything besides a trade school, I've learned my lesson.
The mental gymnastics of the students is impressive. Construing Trump with racism and such, parroting the media. I hope this guy is still teaching and is maybe getting through to someone.
I like that he’s teaching young liberals how to think critically and challenge their own presuppositions. The younger generation needs this so badly. It’s literally lost it’s mind.
Who's teaching young conservatives how to think critically and challenge their own presuppositions. If Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma are examples, no one is.

At the end of the video a guy in the audience was trying to make a point and because she didn't agree the big mouth female started shouting him down which is the typical response you get from liberals when you try to debate them.

I was expecting better from Penn State students.

I also posses the humility to know I could be wrong.
Wow. I wish i could go back to college and take this guys class. I didnt think critically when i was in college and i wish i had opened up my mind back then. Glad this guy is around for the next generation tho.
Why don’t you go back to college but now instead of to learn go to speak and teach? You clearly feel some regret about not having open mind back then and so the best way for you to give back to yourself and to the country really is to speak to college students and tell them your story and try to connect with them. Just a thought! I’m trying to find a way back into the university’s to bring some logic bc these kids are absolutely horrid these days.
I had some great professors that used these kinds of discussion methods. I was always the one pushing the discussion with my peers. Why not, it's college? That's what students should do - debate, discuss.
Man this is disheartening, especially the Sandmann event. There’s a reason he won that lawsuit. He was in the right. Philips walked up to him, and was never disrespected by him. He was not in his way.
In the context of conversations like this, he shouldn't have suffered any consequences. How the "N" word used in CONTEXT is what the issue is. If he called someone that, or referred to a group of people like that yeah, he's gone. But QUOTIING someone and getting canned in the way he was is patently absurd. As for ZERO tolerance, Black folks should stop using it as well, it's vulgar and derogatory...
I love the way you approach these discussions professor. I've been watching them to try to approach my career interactions in a more productive way. It's not always about right and wrong and as an engineer I REALLY struggle with that. Thank you for the videos and thank you for making me think more!!!
Love this guy! One valuable framing I think he missed on the Sandman anecdote... if you're waiting at a crowded bus stop, and someone walks directly up to and stands in front of the group, are you really blocking them? You haven't taken any action, which "blocking" implies you did.

If it's just about zero tolerance of a horrible word as opposed to a racial power status, the word would surely be abandoned immediately within the black community?
Such a cogent point. Let's see this same "cancel the N word" energy with rappers like Drake, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, not to mention all the classic rap like Tupac, Biggie, DMX, Xzibit, too many to name. Selective outrage, and white people completely put up with it. Black people have a right to be offended by that word, but the rules cannot be different for different races. That is called racial segregation.
Well presented Sam. Half way though I googled you to see if you had been fired yet and was surprised to see Turning Point slamming you. So even if you were playing devils advocate. Kudos because you made very good points. About Nick and the drummer. Everyone missed another point; why should nick have had to yield to ANYONE invading his space. The drummer had no, zero, nada for Nick's space.
Wait, did we seriously just argue @56:16 that if you wear certain types of clothing then you deserve any disrespectful treatment visited on you by those around you? He wore that, so he's asking for it?!?!
The other student brings up a very factual very easily provable point that Obama and Hillary Clinton both supported border walls. But that it was only racist when Trump wanted to it. Their heads literally exploded 🤯🤯🤯🤯😲😲😲😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yea she really put a stretch on the lesson right?!? Out of this whole thing I think she got me the absolute maddest. Wtf is she thinking?!? What she said and doesn’t realize is that she then can’t go to any rallies for causes for minorities which we all know she most likely goes to. She’s also saying men have no part in making babies and men shouldn’t care about a life. So many things wrong I could go on and on but she was THE WORST! Thinks she had a “gotcha” moment but sounds absolutely ignorant and dense it was a painful ending.
If Nick Sandmann was black, and the Native American guy was wearing a Trump hat, I think any honest person would realize the media would say he was trying to intimidate a black kid
Im not the biggest fan of Trump, but his campaign wasnt built on hate. This ignorance shows how social media has influenced these young minds. Seeing this several years later...im sure many voted for Biden and the current liberal leadership....and see the fruits of their vote.
Kyle Rittenhouse would be great, but why not even go back to Charlottesville and look at Trump's actual "racists" statements. Maybe even draw a Venn diagram to show how good people can exist on either sides of an argument (and how a person can also condemn evil people on either side as well).
yeah I'm a very conservative leaning libertarian (Aym Rand flavor) and I absolutely LOVE this guy, the students themselves seem pretty much beyond repair unfortunately bit what's he's doing, or at least attempting to do, is incredibly brave and important for the future of this country. Keep up thengood fight Professor! 🤌
Trump never said all Mexicans are XXX, he was speaking about the criminal elements, bringing drugs, crimes, grape, etc The media blew it up out of context!
Love this channel. Also it brings to light if you’re paying attention to a tact that gets abused. Debating a topic to stay on topic. And not to start diverting the convo to well this happened and this and has no relation to fixing the topic at hand. Fix one issue at a time
It’s good to see that at least there are some professors that are attempting to teach students how to think vs what to think. It’s a drip compared to the ocean that has consumed our colleges and universities but it warms my soul to see that someone has the cajones to stand up for truth. Keep it up prof we desperately need this to spread.
Is it? Or is that claim yet another propaganda smear campaign, much like the many he dispels here. Im sure you can find a couple examples of bad teachers. That isn’t anything new. But i highly doubt you are actually sitting in classes to evaluate them fairly.
It’s sad that “conservatism” gets one day of understanding. This really indicates a significant inherent bias here. This is also based upon listening to many of these streams from this same channel. I’m not blaming this professor. Im thankful that he understands and is willing to look at the other views.
This Professor is great!! I've watched several of his classes. He gets his students to think. May not change their thinking or view on a particular subject but at least he gets them to discuss it. I do wish students from opposite ends could feel free to be open without fear of repercussion from others and the university. And yes the university WOULD take action against a student.
There's racism when you say a person of a certain skin color can't say a certain word that is said by another skin color all the time. That is actually racism.
Truth shall not just set us free but have the blindfold fall off and unclog ears. But when the heart is hardened by indoctrination, and our own understanding, which is pride, it becomes a task that only a true miracle can undue.
this is a much needed conversation but the fact that something as complex as everything in this video being discussed in an hour time frame is just simply not enough. Something like this needs to be in like a 10-hour seminar with both a teacher and a seperate moderator.
This is what college should be about. This is critical thinking. This is the interchange of ideas. Well done. Keep fighting the fight. There's truth on both sides. Showing the other side regardless of the push back and the political pressure is key to the truth. There is bravery shown hear and that is admirable.
You've taught well, but I don't think your students have learned from this lesson. I was invigorated at the start, but I was also demoralized by the end.
Wow these students really do not understand that using a word in context and using a word as an insult are two totally different things.

You have to understand that people make way too much about race in this country to the point of delusion.
I love that she says that the n word is still used casually and that it should be zero tolerance, but fails to mention that it's mostly Black people using.
Yeah I've only heard it once used as an insult in person and that was on the street where a black woman had already called a white woman several racist things and the white woman called her the n-word in response and said "what? you can call me that but I can't call you a n?" still unacceptable but she had a point...
The difference is Black people say Niga not Niger.
I'm 50, and I've NEVER heard the word used by anyone my age or younger- only a few people my grandparents age, and I've lived in every time zone in the country while in the military.
I hear it uses all the time in music and there are many that are young.
Why should you not use the N word,I do.If it's fitting it necessary to describe certain blacks" nothing other word will suffice!"
Amazing. The one girl said Sandman was wearing his politcs on his sleeve, as though he has no right to express himself.
@@preacherchrischristian exactly.
What would really be interesting would be to do a completely anonymous survey amongst his students to find out how many lean conservative and how many liberal and then later have an open show of hands for whichever side the students associate. We might then have a better idea of whether conservatives are afraid to speak or not in American universities today.
The fact that the guy at the end in the top row got cut off so disrespectfully clearly demonstrates where we are at.
The girl in the front's argument against him was that Trump actually is a racist, and she used two quotes that are known and web-searchable. In reality, neither one of those quotes are racist. Her argument wasn't weak, it was invalid. She interrupted him with an INVALID argument that didn't even address what he said. Yes, we are in big trouble. We are in Mike Judge's idiocracy already.
@@tuttleberry Thank you for your clarity. 🌿
Yup
Amazing the idiots that are being taught at this institution are so out of touch with reality. Never accept facts even when it's shown directly to them.
@@tuttleberry💯💯💯
I’ve watched several of his videos. At the end of all of them I felt his students had learned something. Not this one. Such closed minded kids.
I think a big part of that was because of the certain volunteers (or the one volunteer). She was not open minded.
It's called fear. There is no upside to admitting you just learned some and maybe the Papa John guy is not really racist. But there is downside to being misunderstood or being misquoted.
When she leaves she may have absorbed some of the points he made.
Well, On one hand you've got a single professor trying to teach these students critical thinking skills, whilst on the other hand all their other professors are teaching liberal agenda's and hate. He's sadly outnumbered and unfortunately professors like him don't normally stay employed.
In the end we find out that Sandman was just standing there, and the Native American guy came up to him and started pounding the drum in his face, and Sandman was just kind of frozen, having no idea what it means, or what to do. Yet somehow when someone comes over and starts pounding a drum in his face, he is racist?
I was very excited about this discussion at first. I hoped real progress would be made. Sadly, it is clear that even a professor with a platform can't clear out all the brain washing our youth has endured. It's so irrational it hurts.
Give it time. The professor is just planting seeds. It takes time for ideas and thoughts to grow
Wow could take the blinders off even for a moment and let him enlighten them. I’m conservative and I’m addicted to his videos. I wish I was as privileged as everyone that class to be able to sit in that room.
Love the correlation to the Penn State hat to MAGA hats. Drives the liberal narrative point home well.
but after a full hour of teaching, the kids fell immediately back into their patterns...
Couldn't agree more. Actually " chuckled " at the comparison
Unfortunately it went right over their heads
@@kellyastleford1169they chose to ignore it, it's a cult.
Why did she say Trump says all Hispanics are racist and drugies which he never said. People should do their research before just parroting what they others say.
Because she's a liberal...
Because she was indoctrinated to think that way.
@@RabornTau yeah not a lot of hope for them sadly
This prof has balls of steel. Great discussion.
BTW, I'm watching this the day after Biden announced he's going to begrudgingly resume building a border wall. Those kids' heads must be completely frozen with cognitive dissonance.
What a Great Professor He is… Thank You for your Great Work Brother!
Zero Tolerance is concept loved by those without the desire and/or ability to discern.
So much of what he said fell on deaf ears. The end of the video was nothing but "the liberal media narrative" down to tge out of context quotes and misquotes. Hopefully he got through to some of them.
Right? and this was 4 years ago and I feel like it's gotten so much worse. I sent my first kid to University and she was absolutely ostracized for having conservative views--- and she is half japanese half white. I won't send my other 3 to anything besides a trade school, I've learned my lesson.
The mental gymnastics of the students is impressive. Construing Trump with racism and such, parroting the media. I hope this guy is still teaching and is maybe getting through to someone.
Unfortunately he definitely didn’t reach the girls on stage.
Wow! These 2 young black women's mental gymnastics are Olympic level.
I like that he’s teaching young liberals how to think critically and challenge their own presuppositions. The younger generation needs this so badly. It’s literally lost it’s mind.
Who's teaching young conservatives how to think critically and challenge their own presuppositions. If Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma are examples, no one is.
@@Jack-th9zg name a university that isn't left leaning
@@stanboyd1 Oral Roberts University, Liberty University, Brigham Young University, Texas A&M University, West Point, Annapolis (Navel Academy), etc. But that wasn't the question.
@@Jack-th9zg"but what about" Really?
@@Jack-th9zg Part of the issue is that conservatives dont own the media, liberals do.
57:10 You can hear someone in the background completely checkout "ugh, I can't do this".
He's trying to have a conversation, and provoke thought and that person couldn't handle it.
I hope what i heard was the exception in that class room. These are such fascinating conversations
God Bless Sam Richards!
I just want to say thank you for a honest and open discussion about the issues.
That's what makes this guy so great.
At the end of the video a guy in the audience was trying to make a point and because she didn't agree the big mouth female started shouting him down which is the typical response you get from liberals when you try to debate them.
Wanna debate? :D
@@Danskadreng wish I would have seen your reply to my comment two months ago when you made it I don't seem to get notifications for replies to my comments only notifications if someone likes them. Always welcome a sensible debate when it's possible although the time is probably passed at this point.
"Black people can't be racist.."
That's a racist comment.
An' stoopit!
I was expecting better from Penn State students. I went to a party school, drunkenly floated various rivers on an inner tube for three years, got chlamydia twice, and Texas State gave me a college degree…dimwitted as I am , even I can understand an opinion that is oppositional to my own. I also posses the humility to know I could be wrong.
There should be video of all the discussion after this class… the Q&A must be off the charts!
Black girl dont like the context and avoids it. Context is NEVER irrelevant.
its a critical thinking lesson and she chose her narrative over thinking critically, and that is the exact problem we have in this country
Wow. I wish i could go back to college and take this guys class. I didnt think critically when i was in college and i wish i had opened up my mind back then. Glad this guy is around for the next generation tho.
He is around for a few students, but i bet there isn't many other universities teaching this.
Why don’t you go back to college but now instead of to learn go to speak and teach? You clearly feel some regret about not having open mind back then and so the best way for you to give back to yourself and to the country really is to speak to college students and tell them your story and try to connect with them. Just a thought! I’m trying to find a way back into the university’s to bring some logic bc these kids are absolutely horrid these days.
Glad you have awakened from your woke slumber.
Welcome to the party pal
I had some great professors that used these kinds of discussion methods. I was always the one pushing the discussion with my peers. Why not, it's college? That's what students should do - debate, discuss.
Man this is disheartening, especially the Sandmann event. There’s a reason he won that lawsuit. He was in the right. Philips walked up to him, and was never disrespected by him. He was not in his way.
The professor really stepped back and did not really address the bigotry and racism of the Left like he could have and more importantly SHOULD HAVE
In the context of conversations like this, he shouldn't have suffered any consequences. How the "N" word used in CONTEXT is what the issue is. If he called someone that, or referred to a group of people like that yeah, he's gone. But QUOTIING someone and getting canned in the way he was is patently absurd. As for ZERO tolerance, Black folks should stop using it as well, it's vulgar and derogatory...
Thankful that I don’t live in America watching this. This guy has a massive uphill battle with these fully indoctrinated students.
Western Europe, Australia, Canada and New Zealand have all caught the 'progressive' disease.
I love the way you approach these discussions professor. I've been watching them to try to approach my career interactions in a more productive way. It's not always about right and wrong and as an engineer I REALLY struggle with that. Thank you for the videos and thank you for making me think more!!!
Love this guy! One valuable framing I think he missed on the Sandman anecdote... if you're waiting at a crowded bus stop, and someone walks directly up to and stands in front of the group, are you really blocking them? You haven't taken any action, which "blocking" implies you did.
Being an "impediment" is way different from "blocking".
@@pashaveres4629 Exactly... switch the roles and the headline remains largely unchanged: _"Entitled MAGA teen expects indigenous person to_ *'move out of the way':* _an essay on Manifest Destiny"_
@@MacroAggressorhow about the truth from the full video. Native leader leads his people oast a wide empty space on stairs to confront teenage boy and expects groyp of kids to move for him.
@@nancyjanzen5676 I really don't feel you put much effort into reading my post... that's literally my point.
@@pashaveres4629 Not really, particularly in the context. You're using it to unreasonably imply intent. You are purposely trying to manipulate it into a power dynamic where none exists. That's exactly the lesson the professor is trying to teach here.
Truth, Goodness, and Beauty can bring us all together. Thanks for giving us hope Dr. Richards.
Amazing prof, we need 100s more like him
I'd be shocked any actual conservatives would stand up in this auditorium and speak up. They'd be torn apart.
I so wish I was there. Everything would be refuted instantly.
Amazing class, horrified by how many students had their eyes glued to their phones during it.
Or sleeping!!
Absolutely love your classes. I’m happy you record them and put them out for the world to see.
You're amazing, never stop what you're doing.
Holy shit; this is my first time seeing anything by Prof. Richards.... we'd be in much better shape as a planet and civilization if we had another hundred of him around the world.
It gets even funnier when you watch the full video and see Nick trying to move, and the drum guy was following him lol
I don’t always agree, but I really appreciate a professor getting these kids talking, listening, thinking about things from various perspectives.
This is extremely responsible teaching also called Learning by Shock
If it's just about zero tolerance of a horrible word as opposed to a racial power status, the word would surely be abandoned immediately within the black community?
Such a cogent point. Let's see this same "cancel the N word" energy with rappers like Drake, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, not to mention all the classic rap like Tupac, Biggie, DMX, Xzibit, too many to name.
Selective outrage, and white people completely put up with it. Black people have a right to be offended by that word, but the rules cannot be different for different races. That is called racial segregation.
Well presented Sam. Half way though I googled you to see if you had been fired yet and was surprised to see Turning Point slamming you. So even if you were playing devils advocate. Kudos because you made very good points.
About Nick and the drummer. Everyone missed another point; why should nick have had to yield to ANYONE invading his space. The drummer had no, zero, nada for Nick's space.
The least unfair liberal professor is still a liberal professor. Until there is actual academic balance tpu will be universally anti professor.
I appreciate that you tried Sam. Your job isn't easy. Breaking conditioning is especially hard to do to young minds today of any stripe.
"If you dont know whether to vote for me or Trump, then you ain't Black"
-President Joe Biden
If Robert Byrd was the CEO of Papa John's he'd get a pass,,,because he was a Democrat.
Democrat privilege " it's okay when we do it."
100% true
Wait, did we seriously just argue @56:16 that if you wear certain types of clothing then you deserve any disrespectful treatment visited on you by those around you?
He wore that, so he's asking for it?!?!
Victim blaming
This professor is a superhero in disguise. If you listen, he will make you think. Unfortunately, the ignorant won’t listen.
The other student brings up a very factual very easily provable point that Obama and Hillary Clinton both supported border walls. But that it was only racist when Trump wanted to it. Their heads literally exploded 🤯🤯🤯🤯😲😲😲😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He should have challenged the white girl at the end. She's oblivious to what the professor is trying to expose here. True for most of the class.
u mean black girl no white girl at the end it’s 2 black girls
Yea she really put a stretch on the lesson right?!? Out of this whole thing I think she got me the absolute maddest. Wtf is she thinking?!? What she said and doesn’t realize is that she then can’t go to any rallies for causes for minorities which we all know she most likely goes to. She’s also saying men have no part in making babies and men shouldn’t care about a life. So many things wrong I could go on and on but she was THE WORST! Thinks she had a “gotcha” moment but sounds absolutely ignorant and dense it was a painful ending.
If Nick Sandmann was black, and the Native American guy was wearing a Trump hat, I think any honest person would realize the media would say he was trying to intimidate a black kid
Im not the biggest fan of Trump, but his campaign wasnt built on hate. This ignorance shows how social media has influenced these young minds. Seeing this several years later...im sure many voted for Biden and the current liberal leadership....and see the fruits of their vote.
Penn State did a great job hiring this gentleman
As a moderate conservative, THIS PROFESSOR IS FANTASTIC!
Love how he brought really brought this home with the Penn state hat.
Apples and oranges
@@davidlee8406 people making judgements about people based on their clothing. Nah.
The context explains it all!
He does not want his company to be associated with the N-word and in that context he uses the concept.
"Well Professor I wouldn't ask for your head, but I want zero tolerance"
Professor on the high-wire without a net, didn't make a dent.
Somehow, as a “conservative” I keep feeling like he’s talking to a wall with his “liberal” students. I wish I had this guy as a teacher/professor.
I wish you would come back 4 years later and do another class like this.
Maybe Kyle Rittenhouse can be the new Nick sandman for that class.
this ^
@@SwedudeEPICright
Kyle Rittenhouse would be great, but why not even go back to Charlottesville and look at Trump's actual "racists" statements. Maybe even draw a Venn diagram to show how good people can exist on either sides of an argument (and how a person can also condemn evil people on either side as well).
Or the guilty central park five
Things are so much worse now, his career may not survive giving this lesson again.
I can't believe their saying Sandmann should have just moved out of Phillips' way. Phillips walked right up to Sandmann. It's just crazy.
Especially since Sandman did try to move out the way and the lil old man just followed him.
Wow this guy surprised me. He is willing to have a conversation. Might have judged the guy too early
You did. lol
Nah, he still didn't make headway. The ending of the class was a bee hive, and he let the CNN lies hang in the air.
yeah I'm a very conservative leaning libertarian (Aym Rand flavor) and I absolutely LOVE this guy, the students themselves seem pretty much beyond repair unfortunately bit what's he's doing, or at least attempting to do, is incredibly brave and important for the future of this country. Keep up thengood fight Professor! 🤌
Trump never said all Mexicans are XXX, he was speaking about the criminal elements, bringing drugs, crimes, grape, etc
The media blew it up out of context!
Love this channel. Also it brings to light if you’re paying attention to a tact that gets abused. Debating a topic to stay on topic. And not to start diverting the convo to well this happened and this and has no relation to fixing the topic at hand. Fix one issue at a time
I so love this professor. I wish there were more out there that wants to have an honest conversation. the Youth are CRAVING this kind of discussion!
It’s good to see that at least there are some professors that are attempting to teach students how to think vs what to think. It’s a drip compared to the ocean that has consumed our colleges and universities but it warms my soul to see that someone has the cajones to stand up for truth. Keep it up prof we desperately need this to spread.
Is it? Or is that claim yet another propaganda smear campaign, much like the many he dispels here.
Im sure you can find a couple examples of bad teachers. That isn’t anything new. But i highly doubt you are actually sitting in classes to evaluate them fairly.
It’s sad that “conservatism” gets one day of understanding. This really indicates a significant inherent bias here. This is also based upon listening to many of these streams from this same channel. I’m not blaming this professor. Im thankful that he understands and is willing to look at the other views.
The other 99% of conservatism is fascist sympathizing
This Professor is great!! I've watched several of his classes. He gets his students to think. May not change their thinking or view on a particular subject but at least he gets them to discuss it. I do wish students from opposite ends could feel free to be open without fear of repercussion from others and the university. And yes the university WOULD take action against a student.
There's racism when you say a person of a certain skin color can't say a certain word that is said by another skin color all the time. That is actually racism.
If you expect zero tolerance, then expect to be held to the same standard.
The most powerful message I have seen in a long time.
Truth shall not just set us free but have the blindfold fall off and unclog ears. But when the heart is hardened by indoctrination, and our own understanding, which is pride, it becomes a task that only a true miracle can undue.
this is a much needed conversation but the fact that something as complex as everything in this video being discussed in an hour time frame is just simply not enough. Something like this needs to be in like a 10-hour seminar with both a teacher and a seperate moderator.
This is what college should be about. This is critical thinking. This is the interchange of ideas. Well done. Keep fighting the fight. There's truth on both sides. Showing the other side regardless of the push back and the political pressure is key to the truth. There is bravery shown hear and that is admirable.
You've taught well, but I don't think your students have learned from this lesson. I was invigorated at the start, but I was also demoralized by the end.
This word, is like magic. If you are white or even simply not black. Use this word and watch your livelihood disappear. Now that is power.
