"Thomas Sowell, should be 100 times more well known than he is.. He is a national treasure!?"🤔🤔 " If 1? " He was a national treasure He wouldn't have to be 100 times more well known !" Obliviously your definition of national treasure is different from the Dictionary's!"
Hello young men you are amazing yeah, so is Thomas Sowell Gammyfae on poppal’s iPad. I would love to see you guys have A sit down with Thomas Sowell and with Donald J Trump on your show, video program. I like you I’m going to subscribe to you just in case this happens. I do not want to miss it. Stay safe God love you. Yeah bless America.
Remember when these bright you promising guys used to react to music. I wonder what happened. Dear lord the grift is transparent. Footnote, their too dumb to realize that Sowell is talking about them.
I am a white oil field worker from West Virginia. I have been reading Thomas Sowell for 30 years. He is one of the best educators for anyone black, white, yellow, red, green, male or female. It warms my heart to see his videos on UA-cam and other social media
Not even just the politicians. Imagine being told by an average white person that because of your skin color; you're uneducated, oppressed, and a victim - all the while hearing that you *need* their help to succeed - regardless of your own personal success, and their lack thereof. The same people who claim to hate racism are the ones perpetuating it. The way the leftists/progressives treat "minorities" is not the way you treat someone you genuinely view as an equal. It's more like how you treat a child with a disability, or a handicapped person - someone you intrinsically feel superior to, and therefore exorbitantly pander/cater them in order to feel like you're a good person. It'd almost be funny if it wasn't so problematic, and if they weren't so close-minded to the point where they adamantly believe they are 100% correct and are vehemently resistant to any discussion on the matter. The more "open-minded" party, my ass.
I'm 70 years old. Hearing you young brothers runnin' it with Sowell makes my heart happy! I've been reading him since 2004. I was an historic Democrat until Conflict of Visions. Never been the same since. Y'all should read his trilogy if you haven't. Keep up young brothers! The world needs you!
It is great to see young people assert control over their lives rather than let political leaders gaslight them. But let's remember that political leaders only tell us what they think they want us to hear. If we want to be told lies that will soothe us, that's what they will do. If we want to be told the truth, that's what they will do. But we are constantly asking our elected representatives -- both democrats and republicans -- to lie to us. So we shouldn't be surprised that lying to us is exactly what they do. I'm white, by the way. So I obviously have a different experience. But like any other human being, I like being lied to. I like being told that nothing that ever happened to me was my fault. That I am perfect and that I deserve so much more than I have but I don't have it because of something someone else did. This is what the republican party told me my whole life. They told me that I'm struggling and I'm poor because the democrat government only cares about helping black people. I didn't want to hear that the circumstances that I live under are mostly a result of decisions that I have made in my life. Point is, both parties do this to us.
Why are you in UA-cam if your 70 yrs old? I'm almost 40 and I'm commenting because my daughter wanted me to see this. If I was 70 in 2024 the last thing I'd be worried about is UA-cam

Compare Mr. Sowell at 93 to "president" Biden at 81. God help us if he somehow gets elected again. And if he does and then kicks the bucket....Kamala Harris? The horror!!!
My uncle introduced me to Sowell when I was a teen. He’s also an Asian immigrant who was very pro America and the opportunities he had after leaving a communist controlled state in the 70s
@@w1cked001 my family was never political but what helped is that they fled communist China and did not brainwash me with any woke ideology or victimhood. Only work hard and do well. Even though I grew up a libtard due to mainstream media and public school, I eventually found the truth on my own via UA-cam.
Mr. Sowell is so calm, so utterly rational, so easy in his knowledge. He’s a giant in the cultural landscape, and so many people wish they could make him disappear and despise this amazing man.
Man, you can tell he’s starting to slow down when he talks. The man would never studder, even 5 years ago. Sucks that great people must pass away eventually.
Mr. Sowell is AMAZING ! He should be taught in public school! He has taught me so much. He might not be spreading the gospel, but he is doing God’s work by spreading truth! Ty for the Texas shout out! I am a life long 53 year old Texan who never thought about a persons skin color until the left started to divide us. United we stand! Divided we fall!
As a white man who grew up in the south during segregation, I can tell you, seeing young people taking time to learn the truth before these American Heroes are gone almost brings me to tears. These young men and those like them will make this country great again. May God Bless them.

I’m a 67 year old white guy. I really dig you guys. I think Thomas Sowell is one of the most amazing men and minds of our lifetime. I’ve been following him for 30 years. Keep on talking you guys.
Okay so your a white guy. What's more important the opportunity to have followed Mr Sowell where many are still learning about him. It's nice to see young ppl acknowledge and respect his works. Mr Sowell is a brilliant and excellent orator and writer in the field of economics, US and world history. Gotta love it. 😂Lol

Especially when there are people like you who think these boys got smarts. They sound community College level at best. Nothing compared to Harvard students the same age.

He grew up in Harlem, former marxist... Stanford professor. Listening to one of his videos is like taking a class. So many profound, counter cultural insights and facts. Brilliant.
The fact that he used to be Marxist should be the first bullet point in his bio. Makes his positions so much more credible because he isn’t one who simply parrots what other people tell him. He’s thought things through and examined the facts to reach the conclusions that he has.
As a 16 year old in the 11th grade i would read the Detroit Free Press and found Mr Sowell. I have been a reader/fan ever since. I appreciate how much he has taught me and helped to inform my academic critical thought process throughout college and my adult life. This man is a true national hero and treasure. He speaks both from an academic and common sense but fact based philosophy that should be part of every core curriculum in high schools and college. Thank you professor.
Thomas Sowell should be in Black History books and speaking at Universities 🎓 Yet, very few Black Americans actually even have heard of him. Instead the Leftists Activists Democrats have elevated the likes of AL Sharpton ✖ < sigh >

I’m a 71 yr old white man. I’ve been reading and listening to Thomas Sowell for years. He should be required reading in every high school and college in the country. What an incredible gift he is to me and so many others. I can’t tell you how proud I am of you as young men that you’re willing to listen to him and learn. The color of our skin should mean nothing. We are created with equal, infinite, value by God. We need more Thomas Sowells and more men like you. Be well on your journey.
I am a 65 year old white southern lady, and I've learned more from Sowell, Elder, Owens, Tatum and Ty Smith in the last 4 years than all the years before. These are the people I listen to when I want to know the truth about things. These people to me show what mlk said about wanting his people to be known by their character not race. They are teaching to bring up the character and get away from the race.
Sowell is a legend but he should have been more specific about saying "whites didnt have a history of slavery" The whole world has a history of slavery including Europe. The term "slave" comes from the ethnic group called Slavs who are white eastern European people who were raided and enslaved. . Slavery existed across Europe and the world for thousands of years. The early colonialists in the US (and before US) sent Irish slaves, and various white slaves from Europe. White Europeans were enslaved by empires like the Romans, other white ethnic groups like the Vikings, and they were enslaved by other empires, like the Arab/Muslim empires that raided eastern Europe for white slaves, and the Moors of North Africa who took white European slaves for hundreds of years. Mongols took white slaves. Slavery was normal in every culture on earth. Countries like Australia were built on the backs of white slaves. In the 1700's era in Britain, even if you were a free worker, you could be enslaved at any time. Not only if you broke the law, but if you couldnt pay a debt, the punishments were harsh, you became a slave to the state, and the state sent you to work in the colonies for 20-30 years to pay off your "debt" You can look up any culture or race from history, and slavery was a normal part of the culture. Not only slaves as workers, but sex slaves, concubines, slavery took many forms. Look up any people group, Chinese, Egyptians, Arabs, native tribes, Phoenicians, Assyrians, Ethiopians, Romans, slavery was normal in every culture in history. Some groups like Indian (Hindus) even have slavery built into the religion, Where if you were born into the lower caste, your only purpose in life was to serve the higher castes and do all the dirty and dangerous jobs. In India today, its still common for higher caste Indians to refuse to touch people from the lower caste, or even talk to them, through fear of being "contaminated". They are often called "the untouchables" The modern woke idea that only black people experienced slavery and only white people (europeans) are responsible for slavery is a huge lie. Slavery was normal in every culture on Earth. It was so normal even the Bible, Quran, Torah, Vedas condones it. .Africans and other native tribes were fighting and enslaving each other long before they saw a white man. Even today in 2024 slavery still exists in Africa, Middle East, and Asia. In the Middle East, slavery was still legal until the 1970's. (Saudi Arabia 1962, Oman ion 1970) Today in the Middle East black people are still commonly referred to as slaves or "abid" in Arabic Its puzzling that people in the west are calling for retribution and reparations for slavery, when their own people are still committing slavery today around the world. Its puzzling that social justice warriors in the west are still ignoring slavery and all the other real atrocities happening around the world. Great video, Thomas Sowell is a truth teller.
@tubester4567 I agree. I live in Montgomery, al and we have a lynching Memorial here for black people but I have challenged our political and city councils questioning why we're the enjoyed who were lynched standing up for the blacks weren't acknowledged? It was funny a year prior to the memorial being built , our newspaper wrote an article about the whites who were lynched but building the black lynching Memorial was built to bush that information up. Montgomery is to be a unified respectful City but when certain political who are still in office divided our city to conquer, it has caused it to be a divided failing city. Things that Sowell and others talk about I see happening in my city over the years. Anthony Johnson was a black slave owner, but it was through his actions that legalized slavery. No one wants to talk about that. There was a black slave owner in Virginia who breeded his slaves and sold the offspring, and he was the worst slave owner, but no one wants to talk about that. Slavery goes back to the Bible times, so it's always been in existence. I admire Martin Luther King who is well represented in our city but when you talk to alot of the blacks here, they don't back him. Like officer Tatum and others say they focus on the race, not the character.
@@tubester4567 It’s not a “modern woke idea”, and there’s no “only”. You’re repeating talking points. In this country slavery was very much based on race through a fundamental belief in white supremacy, that the black race was inferior to the white race. The racism was baked into the American institution of slavery. Thomas Sowell won’t say that, he talks around that, he uses anecdotal stories that he (incorrectly and dishonestly) generalizes to try to convince people that slavery wasn’t race based. So let’s be clear, there have been numerous versions of slavery in various civilizations throughout human history, and most were not race based, but the institution of slavery developed in this country. None of what has happened elsewhere, and continues to happen across the globe, changes what the facts about the despicable version of slavery that existed in North America.
@tubester4567. If you have done your research and it sounds like you have then you know the uniqueness of the slavery that occurred in the U.S. The uniqueness of demoralizing people pulled from their place of origin and intentionally treating them as less than human. If you are an intelligent person you will understand this. They castrated black men for looking at white females. Let that sink in. While they made them watch their wives get raped and have children by them. Please understand “slaves” across the world were not treated like this. I am no where near “woke”. And I certainly don’t believe that reparations are in order. We must move forward. And I believe we have everything we need to do that. But we cannot deny the psychological struggle that occurred and was past on to other generations. I see it. You see it. Hard to admit. It’s not assigning blame. It’s recognizing there is still work to be done to heal.
I love listening to Thomas Sowell, he’s one of the greatest intellectuals of our time. I also appreciate your group and your commentary on these issues. Thank you!
Black people call him Uncle Tom and folks like sharpton have no intention to listen. When blacks Vote 90% or more demorat a voice like his is ignored by the black community. Grow up
@@jeromepowell1873 the man was asked a question in an 'interview'. Have you got a problem with 'white' interviewers? I hadn't even noticed what 'colour' he was until I seen your comment and looked back on the video. He looks middle eastern or Pakistanian to me. Perhaps you just don't like hearing Thomas Sowells factual statistics?
Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter Williams, may he rest in peace, are the two most brilliant minds from the United States in the last century to this one.
Read and loved Walter Williams in the local paper for decades...then discovered he was a student of the Master. Sowell is such a gift to us. Glad you young guys found him.
*Top 10 Highlights about Thomas Sowell* 🇺🇸 Many dub this man a "national treasure." Often in the comments section. And he actually is. He is unparalleled: *1* - Born in 1930 into true poverty in segregated Gastonia, North Carolina. *2* - Adopted by his great-aunt since his father died shortly before his birth and his mother (a maid) couldn't take care of a 5th child alone. She died herself not long after. *3* - Grew up in NYC (Harlem) where his cousin, introduced him to the NYC library and he grew to become an absolutely voracious reader and student of the world. *4* - U.S. Marine Corps (drafted during Korean war w/ honorable discharge) *5* - Night school at Howard University *6* - Harvard University (BA) w/ magna cum laude Note: "The principle benefit of a Harvard degree is never again having to be impressed by anyone with a Harvard degree" --Sowell *7* - Columbia University (MA) - economics *8* - University of Chicago (PhD) - economics *9* - Studied under Milton Friedman *10* - Was a self-avowed Marxist into his 20s, and Democrat voter until 1972 when he switched to Republican. He first caught national traction during the Reagan years. Although I would say he is neither right nor left; he is himself. He is not tribal; he is honest. *11 Bonus* - Tried out for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1948 While the above certainly impresses, what really impresses is listening to this man directly! There are countless hours to be found of him online. He is among the most cool-calm-collected in the public arena today. In my opinion. A legit individual. He thinks for himself. Always has. But, yes, he is an intellectual titan - the breadth & depth of his knowledge -- in history (both domestic and world), economics, and sociology is staggering. But above all he is NOT the typical academic man mired in intellectual vanity, preening himself in his credentials, contributing nothing to the real world. There's a sense of authenticity and wisdom about the man. This is what stands out above all else - a lifetime of Character. And humility. I suppose, after all, one doesn't go from studying Marxism and carrying its banner to becoming an American liberatarian-conservative thinker without a truly introspective sense of humility. This man is truly presidential. There are very few on his level. If it sounds like I'm singing his praises it's because he is praiseworthy. Sadly he is 93 (I think) and won't be around for much longer. Will be a major loss for this country and although I've never met him I will miss him. Straight up - he's the fckng man.
9: You can find many of Friedman's "Free to Choose" videos from the 1980s here on youtube, and in several of them Sowell is a panel member discussing/debating it with Friedman. 10: He stopped being a Marxist after he got a job working for the Government, when he realized a bureaucracy couldn't possibly handle the task of running a country efficiently. 12: Was a mentor to Walter E. Williams
Thanks for these details. I am a huge fan of TS's and there were several I hadn't seen. It's so great for everyone to know him and his works. His story only makes the tired diatribes from today less valid. Thanks again!
I love, LOVE Thomas Sowell! He makes SO much sense and answers so many questions I've always had! The man is a genius with history and sociological issues! He's old now and his memory is still so good! I wish I had that, lol. Thank y'all for posting this!
And politicians that celebrate and enable single-parent households are encouraging poverty for their own selfish gain. Neo-slavery is clearly happening.
Dr. Sowell is truly a man to be admired. For decades he has addressed significant social issues with a degree of forthrightness and reasoned thinking that commands one’s attention.
Mr. Sowell is a brilliant man of integrity and diligence. This is the type of man that should lead our country. Thank you for bringing his wisdom to us all.
The poverty industrial complex. Companies make billions off the poor in this country while doing nothing to help them become self sufficient. That would be bad for their business.
Thomas Sowell is one of the most articulate, honest, intelligent men in this world!! I have learned many lessons from his videos and gained immeasurable insight. And He gets his point across without yelling! Thanks guys for posting this video.
Such a blessing to see young black men standing for truth and knowledge in times when so many are brewing hatred towards others of different races. Amazing men like you give us hope and you deserve the honor! Thank you for what you do! God bless you! ✝️
At 69, & white, everyone I know agrees w/you guys: 1.) you guys are right- Dems have been abusing Minorities since the 1820’s, 2.) Thomas is a beloved genius, a National Treasure, and we would have been honored to know him, take a class from him, and vote for him. Love you Guys! I bet, as you dare to seek and speak truth, you will be shadow banned. F*€k ‘Big Tech! Carry the banner, brothers. ❤
I live in south Mississippi. My daughter went to nursing school around 15 years ago, and became good friends with 2 black classmates. They have worked together at 2 facilities . The 2 black nurses started travel nursing for 6 months. They came back home and went back to their previous job with my daughter . They told my daughter they would never leave the south to go to the north to work again. They said they had never run into racism until they traveled north to liberal states. They said they were the meanest nastiest people they ever tried to help . I'm 55 and went to my neighborhood school with around 60% black and 40% white in the 70s. There were no racial problems . We all lived in the neighborhood together, and our parents knew each other. 99% of both black and white students came from 2 parent households. We never thought of race all we thought about was going out at recess to play with our friends. We were taught true American history about slavery and not the author or the movie (Roots ) version by Alex Hailey who admitted giving people a myth to go by . During black history month we learned about black inventors and doctors who changed history. Black Americans who wanted to make their country and fellow citizens lives better. People who had pride in their country . Life was simple back then. Parents taught their kids that their actions have consequences. They taught their children to respect everyone and their country. I've been told all of my life being from the south that we're racist . We are portrayed in movies as stupid or slow because of our accent . If you ask me and the kids I went to school with, we lived in the best place in the best time. We were allowed to be kids without having an agenda shoved on us at school. God bless.
I’m 61 yo white guy, I’m not racist. I’m truck driver and get along with everyone! It makes me sick the the liberal colleges and the government are pushing racism. The media does the same. Hate is only active because of evil politicians and the media. We people working together get along wonderfully. I pray that blacks help stop racism. For it is the political world that is spewing hatred amongst us hard working people. The evilness of democrats is to keep we the labor force under their control by offering you a free dollar. Nothing more !
I've found the south to be more friendly in general than anywhere up north. I walk in the park in the North Carolina and Florida and say good morning to people, if you do that up in New York you'll just get silence and a dirty look in return.
Mr. Sowell has more guts than a huge majority of Americans. . . White or Black. I’ve been following him for a few years and he has educated me tremendously on social issues~ He is a treasure for our Country!
Thomas is indeed a national treasure, He is easily one of the brightest minds in our country his books should be required reading in high school. Don't understand why he isn't well known. hmmmm I wonder
I have learned at lot watching you young men. As a Brit I had never heard of Thomas Sowell but now will research him and read everything I can about him.
I always find it interesting how under the radar he seems to be. He's been a prominant economist and popular proffessor at ivy colleges for over have a century here in the states. His work is covered in most economics 101 college classes. He has been appearing on talk shows of this nature or another since before color television.
@jakeroon There's no secret to why most folks haven't heard from Thomas Sowell. The left controls the media in the United States. They REFUSE to give a platform to a man as brilliant as Mr. Sowell who has opinions, based in fact, that are in DIRECT opposition to the false narratives they have been forcing down our throat for decades! It's like wondering why The View doesn't bring Ben Shapiro on to discuss politics. They know they'd be canceled the next day! Facts and truth are like holy water and a cross to leftists.
Please research Carol Swain, too. They are dear friends and she too is intelligent and very like minded. She does a very eye opening video for Prager University that will blow your mind.
As a 65yr old black man, I want to strongly encourage you to research Dr. Sowell. His books are very well researched and his analogies are tailored for the average person to understand. I like his book titled "Intellectuals and Society." The premise is these liberals and progressives create many ideas for governments that simply do not work. And for their failed ideas, they experience no consequences... unlike an engineer that creates a new car, sells it, and it does not work. Also, "Black rednecks and white liberals." You can find audio books on youtube.
I am a 46yr old female, white retired nurse. I am also a New Orleans, LA born and raised. I enjoy you videos. I appreciate how you are not scared to react to videos that raise questions and start conversations.
@@Choom89 I would like to add no human being is white or black (although some Scandinavians and subsaharan africans get pretty damn close)we are all shades of brown with different hues.
At 94 years of age and still strong....GOD BLESS. As a Middle Easterner I must say that Thomas Sowell is one of the few greatest American thinker, educator, and a philosopher in the 21st century. I've listened to him many, many times and I've learned so much. God bless this man, a true all American hero and a true national treasure. It all begins at home... "...The Hand That Rocks The Cradle," he had good, moral upbringing. Beyond the doubt he had good parenting who instilled into him hard work, honor, integrity, character, respect,...etc just an all around well reared human treasure. The "left" hates him, because he tells the truth and dismantles the left's narrative and backs up his arguments with real facts, and so the "left" hates him for it with a passion, nevertheless, the "left" continues to spew lies to keep the "minorities" in darkness in America. Unfortunately, there's always a fool who hasn't done his/her homework and so the "left" keeps at it. The question is... why does the "left" do these atrocities to people? The answer is...because some people are very gullible, and those who are power hungry take full advantage when they see a weak point or a vulnerability in groups of people so that they can use for control and self gain. Deep within the human sub-conscience there's an insatiable desire for greed, avarice, and power, it's one of the oldest stories in the book. It's everywhere in the world, not just America.
Man I would LOVE to be sitting in the room with you guys when you watch this stuff. Different perspectives are so good to have around you when you're learning. I am white, live in Canada and I'm old (well 56). Of those 3 things I think my age would be the most valuable to a conversation like yours. There is a perspective that age brings that I think would really add to the wonderful experience that I've been watching you guys have over the past year and a half (or so?), since I've started watching y'all. Consider grabbing a thoughtful elder, that you know, one day to join you. It might not work or it could really add to your experience... who knows, right? I know that it might be fun to watch
I'm a 67-year-old conservative white guy. The first time I saw Thomas Sowell was in high school. I think it was on "Firing Line" with Bill Buckley; I've followed him since. Without a doubt one of the most brilliant people alive. He's been called a national treasure, and he is. I literally have every book he has written, both audio or book form, some both. I listen to his books all the time. I really like your review of him. It provides me with a great perspective of the thoughts of others. We have a whole lot more in common than most of us think. Well done. Thanks. All the best.
My family fought in the Revolutionary and Civil War, among others, we are a Caucasian family, we fought for the rights of all. But because of my skin color, I don't often share that with people, unless I know I'm safe to do so. I should be able to express the pride I have in my family's history. But I have to keep quiet. I've even got the receipts to prove it. Thank y'all for being open to information, and practicing legitimate critical thinking, you really have given me hope. You are soldiers in this battle as much as Vivek, Tucker, Rogan, etc...thank you. ❤️
Thomas Sowell is probably the best mind to come out of the 70's. I remember a talk show he was on where he completely obliterated the hosts arguments about the wage gap, where race and gender is concerned. But, like most leftist lies, they just don't die. Never let a good lie go to waste.
He’s lectured at HBCU throughout his career…especially in todays political climate you won’t see him on left leaning TV/radio…his message is dangerous to those who want the government to solve all of society’s problems & redistribute the country’s wealth. Rachad Richey, Joy Reid & Sunny Hostin want no part of this man
It is an honor and a privilege to go on this enlightening journey with you guys. Thanks for taking us all on a wild ride of laughter, tears, and spirited debates! Keep on being true to yourselves and grounded in reality even if it goes against the grain at times. Cartier Family for office! ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so proud of you young men. Almost like you are my own sons. I love your conversations, your open minds and your willingness to listen to anyone. You are all wonderful role models for our young people.
Great commentary..."when you prioritize things like...marriage, kids...". Where our hearts are, that's where our treasure will be. Thanks for posting this, guys!
I discovered this man several years ago by listing to The Thomas Sowell Reader. He is so smart and has a lot of information to share. Every American should be required to read/listen to his writings. He has acquired so much knowledge over his life and has changed his viewpoint over time. I am so glad seeing these 4 young men at least listening to him. Please continue your education and spread the word.
“ he’s giving us the keys on this one” 😂🤣 you guys are the best! A meeting between you and Thomas simply needs to happen whether it’s in person or video chat.
as a White guy whose ancestors didn't get here till 1919, my family actually did have something to do with slavery. they joined the French navy to go hunt down slaving ships. they were very anti-slavery. One of my ancestors started a phrase in my family. If you don't manage your lands with your own hands you'll never learn to appreciate it
Thomas Sowell should be 100 times more well known than he is..He is a national treasure..
Thomas is an idiot that doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Economist should stay in their lane and keep history lessons to actual historians.
Amen
"Thomas Sowell, should be 100 times more well known than he is.. He is a national treasure!?"🤔🤔 " If 1? " He was a national treasure He wouldn't have to be 100 times more well known !" Obliviously your definition of national treasure is different from the Dictionary's!"
SO TRUE!!!

Absolutely perfect.
Thomas is closing in on 100 and still sounds way better cognitively compared to Joe Biden. Unbelievable.
He sounds more cognitive, intelligent and clear than any political leftist of any age.
Thomas Sowell does not belong in the same sentence with the name of joe biden.

Didn't see your comment before I posted mine. You are 100% correct.
Good point!
Thomas Sowell should be everywhere in the media, he's a guiding light
He is blocked as much as possible because he presents facts.
“When you’ve been shown favoritism your entire life, equality will feel like bigotry.”
-Thomas Sowell
…absolutely brilliant statement
Profound statement!
I agree totally but who has been shown favoritism this whole time ?
Yeah, that explains modern white right-wingers who constantly whine about minorities getting hired before them. Great point

I am a white oil field worker from West Virginia. I have been reading Thomas Sowell for 30 years. He is one of the best educators for anyone black, white, yellow, red, green, male or female. It warms my heart to see his videos on UA-cam and other social media

I couldn't agree more......very well said....
Let’s not forget Walter Williams a friend and colleague of Sowell’s …learned so much from them both
I’m green I guess.
Ever time I see this guy he's talking about Black people to White people.
I can’t imagine being told by politicians that you aren’t smart enough to get ID, go to school or succeed without their help
I know!! It's so sick. Those poor folks never stopped being slaves. Bound by chains of the mind.
And still vote for them!!! That's the crazy thing
Not even just the politicians. Imagine being told by an average white person that because of your skin color; you're uneducated, oppressed, and a victim - all the while hearing that you *need* their help to succeed - regardless of your own personal success, and their lack thereof.
The same people who claim to hate racism are the ones perpetuating it. The way the leftists/progressives treat "minorities" is not the way you treat someone you genuinely view as an equal. It's more like how you treat a child with a disability, or a handicapped person - someone you intrinsically feel superior to, and therefore exorbitantly pander/cater them in order to feel like you're a good person.
It'd almost be funny if it wasn't so problematic, and if they weren't so close-minded to the point where they adamantly believe they are 100% correct and are vehemently resistant to any discussion on the matter.
The more "open-minded" party, my ass.
The soft bigotry of low expectations. Democrats never changed.
Crazy right?
I'm 70 years old. Hearing you young brothers runnin' it with Sowell makes my heart happy! I've been reading him since 2004. I was an historic Democrat until Conflict of Visions. Never been the same since. Y'all should read his trilogy if you haven't. Keep up young brothers! The world needs you!
Wow that book is a gem.
What are you now...
It is great to see young people assert control over their lives rather than let political leaders gaslight them. But let's remember that political leaders only tell us what they think they want us to hear. If we want to be told lies that will soothe us, that's what they will do. If we want to be told the truth, that's what they will do. But we are constantly asking our elected representatives -- both democrats and republicans -- to lie to us. So we shouldn't be surprised that lying to us is exactly what they do.
I'm white, by the way. So I obviously have a different experience. But like any other human being, I like being lied to. I like being told that nothing that ever happened to me was my fault. That I am perfect and that I deserve so much more than I have but I don't have it because of something someone else did. This is what the republican party told me my whole life. They told me that I'm struggling and I'm poor because the democrat government only cares about helping black people. I didn't want to hear that the circumstances that I live under are mostly a result of decisions that I have made in my life. Point is, both parties do this to us.

He grew up in Harlem, former marxist... Stanford professor. Listening to one of his videos is like taking a class. So many profound, counter cultural insights and facts. Brilliant.
The fact that he used to be Marxist should be the first bullet point in his bio. Makes his positions so much more credible because he isn’t one who simply parrots what other people tell him. He’s thought things through and examined the facts to reach the conclusions that he has.
I believe Sowell moved away from being a Marxist after he worked for the federal government.
he cant hold a candle to Dr. Anderson
As a 16 year old in the 11th grade i would read the Detroit Free Press and found Mr Sowell. I have been a reader/fan ever since. I appreciate how much he has taught me and helped to inform my academic critical thought process throughout college and my adult life. This man is a true national hero and treasure. He speaks both from an academic and common sense but fact based philosophy that should be part of every core curriculum in high schools and college.
Thank you professor.
He put out a book at 93 years old. That is amazing!

They are teaching to bring up the character and get away from the race.
Me too!!
Sowell is a legend but he should have been more specific about saying "whites didnt have a history of slavery" The whole world has a history of slavery including Europe. The term "slave" comes from the ethnic group called Slavs who are white eastern European people who were raided and enslaved. . Slavery existed across Europe and the world for thousands of years.
The early colonialists in the US (and before US) sent Irish slaves, and various white slaves from Europe.
White Europeans were enslaved by empires like the Romans, other white ethnic groups like the Vikings, and they were enslaved by other empires, like the Arab/Muslim empires that raided eastern Europe for white slaves, and the Moors of North Africa who took white European slaves for hundreds of years. Mongols took white slaves. Slavery was normal in every culture on earth. Countries like Australia were built on the backs of white slaves.
In the 1700's era in Britain, even if you were a free worker, you could be enslaved at any time. Not only if you broke the law, but if you couldnt pay a debt, the punishments were harsh, you became a slave to the state, and the state sent you to work in the colonies for 20-30 years to pay off your "debt"
You can look up any culture or race from history, and slavery was a normal part of the culture. Not only slaves as workers, but sex slaves, concubines, slavery took many forms. Look up any people group, Chinese, Egyptians, Arabs, native tribes, Phoenicians, Assyrians, Ethiopians, Romans, slavery was normal in every culture in history. Some groups like Indian (Hindus) even have slavery built into the religion, Where if you were born into the lower caste, your only purpose in life was to serve the higher castes and do all the dirty and dangerous jobs. In India today, its still common for higher caste Indians to refuse to touch people from the lower caste, or even talk to them, through fear of being "contaminated". They are often called "the untouchables"
The modern woke idea that only black people experienced slavery and only white people (europeans) are responsible for slavery is a huge lie. Slavery was normal in every culture on Earth. It was so normal even the Bible, Quran, Torah, Vedas condones it. .Africans and other native tribes were fighting and enslaving each other long before they saw a white man. Even today in 2024 slavery still exists in Africa, Middle East, and Asia.
In the Middle East, slavery was still legal until the 1970's. (Saudi Arabia 1962, Oman ion 1970) Today in the Middle East black people are still commonly referred to as slaves or "abid" in Arabic
Its puzzling that people in the west are calling for retribution and reparations for slavery, when their own people are still committing slavery today around the world. Its puzzling that social justice warriors in the west are still ignoring slavery and all the other real atrocities happening around the world.
Great video, Thomas Sowell is a truth teller.
@tubester4567 I agree. I live in Montgomery, al and we have a lynching Memorial here for black people but I have challenged our political and city councils questioning why we're the enjoyed who were lynched standing up for the blacks weren't acknowledged? It was funny a year prior to the memorial being built , our newspaper wrote an article about the whites who were lynched but building the black lynching Memorial was built to bush that information up. Montgomery is to be a unified respectful City but when certain political who are still in office divided our city to conquer, it has caused it to be a divided failing city. Things that Sowell and others talk about I see happening in my city over the years.
Anthony Johnson was a black slave owner, but it was through his actions that legalized slavery. No one wants to talk about that.
There was a black slave owner in Virginia who breeded his slaves and sold the offspring, and he was the worst slave owner, but no one wants to talk about that.
Slavery goes back to the Bible times, so it's always been in existence.
I admire Martin Luther King who is well represented in our city but when you talk to alot of the blacks here, they don't back him. Like officer Tatum and others say they focus on the race, not the character.
@@tubester4567 It’s not a “modern woke idea”, and there’s no “only”. You’re repeating talking points. In this country slavery was very much based on race through a fundamental belief in white supremacy, that the black race was inferior to the white race. The racism was baked into the American institution of slavery. Thomas Sowell won’t say that, he talks around that, he uses anecdotal stories that he (incorrectly and dishonestly) generalizes to try to convince people that slavery wasn’t race based. So let’s be clear, there have been numerous versions of slavery in various civilizations throughout human history, and most were not race based, but the institution of slavery developed in this country. None of what has happened elsewhere, and continues to happen across the globe, changes what the facts about the despicable version of slavery that existed in North America.
@tubester4567. If you have done your research and it sounds like you have then you know the uniqueness of the slavery that occurred in the U.S. The uniqueness of demoralizing people pulled from their place of origin and intentionally treating them as less than human. If you are an intelligent person you will understand this. They castrated black men for looking at white females. Let that sink in. While they made them watch their wives get raped and have children by them. Please understand “slaves” across the world were not treated like this. I am no where near “woke”. And I certainly don’t believe that reparations are in order. We must move forward. And I believe we have everything we need to do that. But we cannot deny the psychological struggle that occurred and was past on to other generations. I see it. You see it. Hard to admit. It’s not assigning blame. It’s recognizing there is still work to be done to heal.

He IS a national treasure! What an incredible human being he is!
*Top 10 Highlights about Thomas Sowell* 🇺🇸 Many dub this man a "national treasure." Often in the comments section. And he actually is. He is unparalleled:
*1* - Born in 1930 into true poverty in segregated Gastonia, North Carolina.
*2* - Adopted by his great-aunt since his father died shortly before his birth and his mother (a maid) couldn't take care of a 5th child alone. She died herself not long after.
*3* - Grew up in NYC (Harlem) where his cousin, introduced him to the NYC library and he grew to become an absolutely voracious reader and student of the world.
*4* - U.S. Marine Corps (drafted during Korean war w/ honorable discharge)
*5* - Night school at Howard University
*6* - Harvard University (BA) w/ magna cum laude
Note: "The principle benefit of a Harvard degree is never again having to be impressed by anyone with a Harvard degree" --Sowell
*7* - Columbia University (MA) - economics
*8* - University of Chicago (PhD) - economics
*9* - Studied under Milton Friedman
*10* - Was a self-avowed Marxist into his 20s, and Democrat voter until 1972 when he switched to Republican. He first caught national traction during the Reagan years. Although I would say he is neither right nor left; he is himself. He is not tribal; he is honest.
*11 Bonus* - Tried out for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1948
While the above certainly impresses, what really impresses is listening to this man directly! There are countless hours to be found of him online. He is among the most cool-calm-collected in the public arena today. In my opinion. A legit individual. He thinks for himself. Always has. But, yes, he is an intellectual titan - the breadth & depth of his knowledge -- in history (both domestic and world), economics, and sociology is staggering. But above all he is NOT the typical academic man mired in intellectual vanity, preening himself in his credentials, contributing nothing to the real world. There's a sense of authenticity and wisdom about the man. This is what stands out above all else - a lifetime of Character. And humility. I suppose, after all, one doesn't go from studying Marxism and carrying its banner to becoming an American liberatarian-conservative thinker without a truly introspective sense of humility.
This man is truly presidential. There are very few on his level. If it sounds like I'm singing his praises it's because he is praiseworthy. Sadly he is 93 (I think) and won't be around for much longer. Will be a major loss for this country and although I've never met him I will miss him. Straight up - he's the fckng man.
9: You can find many of Friedman's "Free to Choose" videos from the 1980s here on youtube, and in several of them Sowell is a panel member discussing/debating it with Friedman.
10: He stopped being a Marxist after he got a job working for the Government, when he realized a bureaucracy couldn't possibly handle the task of running a country efficiently.
12: Was a mentor to Walter E. Williams

What he said is true. I've been reading his editorials since the 90s. Single parent households struggle, no matter what a person's color is
And politicians that celebrate and enable single-parent households are encouraging poverty for their own selfish gain. Neo-slavery is clearly happening.

Thomas is a beloved genius, a National Treasure, and we would have been honored to know him, take a class from him, and vote for him. Love you Guys! I bet, as you dare to seek and speak truth, you will be shadow banned.
F*€k ‘Big Tech! Carry the banner, brothers. ❤
I live in south Mississippi. My daughter went to nursing school around 15 years ago, and became good friends with 2 black classmates. They have worked together at 2 facilities . The 2 black nurses started travel nursing for 6 months. They came back home and went back to their previous job with my daughter . They told my daughter they would never leave the south to go to the north to work again. They said they had never run into racism until they traveled north to liberal states. They said they were the meanest nastiest people they ever tried to help . I'm 55 and went to my neighborhood school with around 60% black and 40% white in the 70s. There were no racial problems . We all lived in the neighborhood together, and our parents knew each other. 99% of both black and white students came from 2 parent households. We never thought of race all we thought about was going out at recess to play with our friends. We were taught true American history about slavery and not the author or the movie (Roots ) version by Alex Hailey who admitted giving people a myth to go by . During black history month we learned about black inventors and doctors who changed history. Black Americans who wanted to make their country and fellow citizens lives better. People who had pride in their country . Life was simple back then. Parents taught their kids that their actions have consequences. They taught their children to respect everyone and their country. I've been told all of my life being from the south that we're racist . We are portrayed in movies as stupid or slow because of our accent . If you ask me and the kids I went to school with, we lived in the best place in the best time. We were allowed to be kids without having an agenda shoved on us at school. God bless.
Be fr Mississippi is very racist in the rural areas the issue is these dudes thought the north would be better but it’s not
How so?
I’m 61 yo white guy, I’m not racist. I’m truck driver and get along with everyone!
It makes me sick the the liberal colleges and the government are pushing racism.
The media does the same.
Hate is only active because of evil politicians and the media. We people working together get along wonderfully.
I pray that blacks help stop racism. For it is the political world that is spewing hatred amongst us hard working people.
The evilness of democrats is to keep we the labor force under their control by offering you a free dollar. Nothing more !
I've found the south to be more friendly in general than anywhere up north. I walk in the park in the North Carolina and Florida and say good morning to people, if you do that up in New York you'll just get silence and a dirty look in return.
Mr. Sowell has more guts than a huge majority of Americans. . . White or Black.
I’ve been following him for a few years and he has educated me tremendously on social issues~
He is a treasure for our Country!
Listening to Mr. Sowell on a talk show back in the late 70s, I began investing and had some good investments. His wisdom is legendary.
He’s an economist, not a historian. He should stick to economics, because his history is revisionist crap.
@@dalmac5978I bet you think Africans didn't enslave their own people in the past 😂
Doctor
Once again these young men post great content. Thomas Sowell IS a national treasure and should be taught in schools. The truth shall set you free.
Everyone should be taught statistics and how to source them
Thomas is indeed a national treasure, He is easily one of the brightest minds in our country his books should be required reading in high school. Don't understand why he isn't well known. hmmmm I wonder
I have learned at lot watching you young men. As a Brit I had never heard of Thomas Sowell but now will research him and read everything I can about him.
I always find it interesting how under the radar he seems to be. He's been a prominant economist and popular proffessor at ivy colleges for over have a century here in the states. His work is covered in most economics 101 college classes. He has been appearing on talk shows of this nature or another since before color television.
@jakeroon There's no secret to why most folks haven't heard from Thomas Sowell. The left controls the media in the United States. They REFUSE to give a platform to a man as brilliant as Mr. Sowell who has opinions, based in fact, that are in DIRECT opposition to the false narratives they have been forcing down our throat for decades! It's like wondering why The View doesn't bring Ben Shapiro on to discuss politics. They know they'd be canceled the next day! Facts and truth are like holy water and a cross to leftists.
Please research Carol Swain, too. They are dear friends and she too is intelligent and very like minded. She does a very eye opening video for Prager University that will blow your mind.
Reading his work is totally worth it!
As a 65yr old black man, I want to strongly encourage you to research Dr. Sowell. His books are very well researched and his analogies are tailored for the average person to understand. I like his book titled "Intellectuals and Society." The premise is these liberals and progressives create many ideas for governments that simply do not work. And for their failed ideas, they experience no consequences... unlike an engineer that creates a new car, sells it, and it does not work. Also, "Black rednecks and white liberals." You can find audio books on youtube.
I am a 46yr old female, white retired nurse. I am also a New Orleans, LA born and raised. I enjoy you videos. I appreciate how you are not scared to react to videos that raise questions and start conversations.
No one is just a color.
@@Choom89 I would like to add no human being is white or black (although some Scandinavians and subsaharan africans get pretty damn close)we are all shades of brown with different hues.
@@SumoniggroLOL. I'm Scandinavian! I'm so white, I reflect the sunlight! 😂😂
#TRUMP 2024!

62 year old nurse and can't wait to retire. Almost there in 2020 then BIDENOMICS happened.
#TRUMP 2024!
#PIERRE ASAP!
Which as an artist actually changes with the light anyway. @@Sumoniggro
I'm glad people are listening to Thomas Sowell. I'm white and have learned so much listening to him. He is an American treasure.
Levin has the same passion and love for America as Rush did. He's always a treasure to listen to, and I never miss a show.
Love you guys and agree Dr. Thomas Sowell is one of the greatest gifts to his planet. In our lifetime.
At 94 years of age and still strong....GOD BLESS. As a Middle Easterner I must say that Thomas Sowell is one of the few greatest American thinker, educator, and a philosopher in the 21st century. I've listened to him many, many times and I've learned so much. God bless this man, a true all American hero and a true national treasure. It all begins at home... "...The Hand That Rocks The Cradle," he had good, moral upbringing. Beyond the doubt he had good parenting who instilled into him hard work, honor, integrity, character, respect,...etc just an all around well reared human treasure. The "left" hates him, because he tells the truth and dismantles the left's narrative and backs up his arguments with real facts, and so the "left" hates him for it with a passion, nevertheless, the "left" continues to spew lies to keep the "minorities" in darkness in America. Unfortunately, there's always a fool who hasn't done his/her homework and so the "left" keeps at it. The question is... why does the "left" do these atrocities to people? The answer is...because some people are very gullible, and those who are power hungry take full advantage when they see a weak point or a vulnerability in groups of people so that they can use for control and self gain. Deep within the human sub-conscience there's an insatiable desire for greed, avarice, and power, it's one of the oldest stories in the book. It's everywhere in the world, not just America.
Thomas Sowell presents data to back up his analyses of cause and effect, and his conclusions.
The race hustlers and politicians just present feelings.
Man I would LOVE to be sitting in the room with you guys when you watch this stuff. Different perspectives are so good to have around you when you're learning. I am white, live in Canada and I'm old (well 56). Of those 3 things I think my age would be the most valuable to a conversation like yours. There is a perspective that age brings that I think would really add to the wonderful experience that I've been watching you guys have over the past year and a half (or so?), since I've started watching y'all. Consider grabbing a thoughtful elder, that you know, one day to join you. It might not work or it could really add to your experience... who knows, right?
I know that it might be fun to watch
I'm a 67-year-old conservative white guy. The first time I saw Thomas Sowell was in high school. I think it was on "Firing Line" with Bill Buckley; I've followed him since. Without a doubt one of the most brilliant people alive. He's been called a national treasure, and he is. I literally have every book he has written, both audio or book form, some both. I listen to his books all the time. I really like your review of him. It provides me with a great perspective of the thoughts of others. We have a whole lot more in common than most of us think. Well done. Thanks. All the best.
Check your privilege
thanks for sharing, it always nice hearing other people's journey to growth
My family fought in the Revolutionary and Civil War, among others, we are a Caucasian family, we fought for the rights of all. But because of my skin color, I don't often share that with people, unless I know I'm safe to do so. I should be able to express the pride I have in my family's history. But I have to keep quiet. I've even got the receipts to prove it. Thank y'all for being open to information, and practicing legitimate critical thinking, you really have given me hope. You are soldiers in this battle as much as Vivek, Tucker, Rogan, etc...thank you. ❤️
Mr. Sowell, a true father figure for the United States of America.
From Australia. Thomas Sowell is one hell of a great thinking man! Hold him up high as someone to aspire to be.
Gotta love Mr. Sowell. The father I never had
'Basic Economics' is one of my all-time favorite books. Thomas Sowell is brilliant.
Thomas Sowell is probably the best mind to come out of the 70's. I remember a talk show he was on where he completely obliterated the hosts arguments about the wage gap, where race and gender is concerned. But, like most leftist lies, they just don't die. Never let a good lie go to waste.
This man has more wisdom to share with the world than anyone could imagine.
Every time I see this guy he's talking about Black people to White people.
He’s lectured at HBCU throughout his career…especially in todays political climate you won’t see him on left leaning TV/radio…his message is dangerous to those who want the government to solve all of society’s problems & redistribute the country’s wealth. Rachad Richey, Joy Reid & Sunny Hostin want no part of this man
I have been a fan of Thomas Sowell for many years. His books are so informative. Yes, he is a national treasure.
It is an honor and a privilege to go on this enlightening journey with you guys. Thanks for taking us all on a wild ride of laughter, tears, and spirited debates! Keep on being true to yourselves and grounded in reality even if it goes against the grain at times. Cartier Family for office! ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so proud of you young men. Almost like you are my own sons. I love your conversations, your open minds and your willingness to listen to anyone. You are all wonderful role models for our young people.
You guys are great. Thx for the honest non racial opinions.
Great commentary..."when you prioritize things like...marriage, kids...". Where our hearts are, that's where our treasure will be. Thanks for posting this, guys!
God bless Mr. Sowell and all you young men.
I’m a European White man and I wish we had Sowell over here.
Booker T. Washington, Thomas Sowell, so many good thoughtful people from century to century. Blessings on everyone.
I discovered this man several years ago by listing to The Thomas Sowell Reader. He is so smart and has a lot of information to share. Every American should be required to read/listen to his writings. He has acquired so much knowledge over his life and has changed his viewpoint over time. I am so glad seeing these 4 young men at least listening to him. Please continue your education and spread the word.
I am glad to see the younger generation listening to a man of great perspective and wisdom. Dr. Sowell is an American icon.
“ he’s giving us the keys on this one” 😂🤣 you guys are the best! A meeting between you and Thomas simply needs to happen whether it’s in person or video chat.
When you find out you have been lied to, it becomes your responsibility to find all the truth, even the ugly part.
He's more valuable than all of our politicians....because he teaches dispassionate facts and cares about truth.
Great to see young men with common sense and are critical thinkers and Mr. Sowell still educating the youth .
as a White guy whose ancestors didn't get here till 1919, my family actually did have something to do with slavery. they joined the French navy to go hunt down slaving ships. they were very anti-slavery. One of my ancestors started a phrase in my family. If you don't manage your lands with your own hands you'll never learn to appreciate it
Love Dr. Sowell and have listened to him for a few years now. He’s a national treasure.
