Thomas Sowell vs Trevor Noah on Slavery and Reparations
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2020
- In this video Trevor Noah makes the case for reparations for blacks in America. As always, the unspoken narrative is that of perpetual black oppression and white victimization. It is the siren’s call of victimhood and powerlessness. Thomas Sowell provides an alternatives perspective, and illustrates that the habits and work ethic that have worked for some groups can work for all.

I'm a black man who wanted to be a pilot. I went to the Air Force Academy, but wasn't medically qualified to fly at the time. Instead, I took jobs and assignments nobody else wanted for about 7 years and kept pestering doctors about the medical standards, and I just found out that I'm going to pilot training this year. I had multiple friends, mentors, and leaders that helped me make it happen. Some were white, some were black, and some were neither. I'm making my dreams happen because I never gave up and accepted the help that was offered to me, no matter what the person offering looked like.
What medical conditions initially disqualified you from pilot training and in what way did you pester the military medical personnel to change things in your favor? Best wishes with your endeavors. 👍🏽
Congratulations and Bravo to you! Another inspiring story is told in the movie “A Million Miles Away” about not giving up and going after the skills and development to make one competitive according to the requirements needed to increase those odds for success.
So basically you had to work twice as hard for something a white guy woulda got on the strength of how he pronounced his W's.
@@JUSLOFI Keep victimizing yourself, it's working so well for the people brainwashing you, might as well not disappoint them now.
And good luck to you. Both my sons are Marines (now retired or out of active duty) and the military allowed them to use all their talents to pursue their dreams. Do a roll for me one day soon!
“Equip yourself with skills others are willing to pay for”
Nice stuff
Yet we not fairly standing for that race🤓 equipping yourself with that in modern world it's education and education is not free.
Not all of our parents afford decent education for their kids.
It's problems we have that makes us question but why certain race does it better than we really have to face the brutal history that race inflicted is the main reason why black kids success rate is lower than all other kids.

Get a government certified certificate, which keeps non certificate holders out of the line of work.
@@TheDennisgrass Sounds great, BUT... Certificates, Degrees, Licenses, etc. can all look good but can also mean very little, if you don't have the complexion for the protection! These credentials can also be revoked, or underrated, by various entities in control! The world is getting more and more dysfunctional and less and less balanced, for Blacks, and whites but especially for Blacks, for the time being at least! 💯
@@Icare202 Aim for the stars, maybe you only get to the moon, but it is higher than never trying!
Football, basketball, tennis, etc. coaches are important to help push a person to a higher level.
Same goes for trying to obtain a government certification.
Why do you think the world is getting more and more dysfunctional?
Unfair contest, one is a comedian in a world where pandering is currency and the other is one of the most thoughtful and measured academics a generation is unlikely to produce often, if at all. We are fortunate to have him.
I don’t know why there’s a burgeoning need to have “celebrities” express opinions on highly complex issues whereas there’s experts and academics in the subject that could be invited to to such platforms for the benefit of the general public.
@@tebohoramaebebe6569
Because people pay attention to pretty faces.
Well, jokes or no jokes, Trevor Noah is serious about his position on these issues. He's made that clear. Now if he is choosing to use his platform and it's reach to pander and play the minstrel, that's on him. He's choosing to be that guy and it's up to you whether you feel it hurts or helps. But if you do choose to use your platform and voice to argue points of race from either the liberal or conservative, black or white viewpoint...expect to get your beliefs/thoughts stacked up to contrary opinions from any degree of opponent.
I didn't take Trevor Noah to be joking or pandering about his stance on issues of reparations,slavery, white privilege etc. Seems pretty serious to me. If you're arguing that he's not at the level of Thomas Sowells wisdom,experience,insight or whatever, you may be right. But like any engaging entity albeit a boxer, wrestler, fighter, or debater, if you find your opinions to be worthy enough to broadcast them to millions, expect your dogmas to be challenged by anyone,everyone , and the best. That's all that was taking place here.
Noah's lack of funniness makes it hard to know we aren't meant to take him seriously.
and Trevor is half Swiss, his father was Swiss and he had enough money! to claim he had the trouble some afro-american had is a big exaggeration! he moved to the US and will now teach you about suffering and the right to claim reparation, which will only restart hate between black and whites! funny that mostly non native american will explain you what you have to do!
It's truly amazing how Trevor Noah even has a show or a platform.
He ruined that show.
Use to actually be funny or have good points. Lol
right? he's not funny, charming, likable or intelligent. ironically he was the affirmative action hire of the daily show.
So nothing should be done about blacks that got burnt for bumping into white people while running?@rubenbarrera7338
So nothing should be done about black slaves that got massacred, raped, burnt etc
@@TheRealDarthCosby I'm sure he has his fans.
But me personally, nah lol
I love how Noah says "I get that! I get that!". But then goes back to NOT getting it.
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 was a very early federal law passed by Congress in the era of the Articles of Confederation. Prohibited enslavement in territories north of the Ohio River. It was the first federal law to address the issue.
Didn’t you know, if he even mentions the opposing view, the audience will think he debunked it
his definition of get is hear not understand.
It’s weird how a black man from another country self described as growing up poor and underprivileged who now has a TV show with 100’s of viewers with a Net worth of $16 million is asking for reparations for those that have the same opportunities as he did. It’s basically a rich guy asking for others to give money to those that have chosen to be lazy and not put forth effort to make something of themselves. Then blaming it on, in the famous words of Ilion Omar, “some people did something” hundreds of years ago.
@@billybob-zg4bx Its called providence or destiny, some opeople were dealt better hands than others. We should not compare ourselves to others but be grateful and content and deal with the hand we were dealt instead of trying to blame someone.
"slavery is the universal curse of the human species"-thomas sowell ,,,,,,,,i agree with dr.sowell 100%
“…. Before it was abolished in the WESTERN COUNTRIES.” Very eloquently stated because slavery still occurs in Africa as well as Asia.
@@JamesCraigHeath007 sad but true indeed !
Well said.
IF YOU ARE NAIVE ABOUT LIFE !
But chattel slavery was based on race. Black people are the only people who are told not to complain.
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.
He knows his place. He tells me as a white man, i am better than him, and that's how it's supposed to be correct?
Born, bred and based Nigerian here. It's common knowledge that our ancestors owned and sold slaves long before any white man ever stepped on our shores. It was simply what people did back then. This aspect is rarely ever mentioned among African American discourse.
It's also common sense that the " white man" didn't just sail to Africa and start snatching up black people. It was actually the Arabians who took and sold them to the white people
UR missing the whole point. American Blacks SLAVED for the WHITE MAN in a foreign country and make them RICH. The slaves in ANY AFRICAN country HAD THE OPPOSITE EFFECT.
...and this somehow justifies the practice because your ancestors, after receiving a few beads from the missionaries, chose to exploit a new export market. That makes you complicit, not better. ...and yes, the participation of West Africans selling their own is common knowledge, and irrelevant to the reparation conversation.
@@BPawn6 Hilariousness. Happy reading.
You're missing the point bro, as are most of the people commenting here. We're trying to bring attention to the fact that ONLY black people (or people of colour) were made to be slaves. No whites...that's the actual crux of the discussion....not WHO enslaved them...
Pity that Trevor Noah never had Thomas Sowell on his show for this exact discussion. A session worth seeing.
Yes it is a pity Trevor didn't get a chance to destroy Uncle Tom
@@JACK-OMARI here's a question. Let's say the government gives reparations. Then who will be entitled to those reparations?
So if I'm a white person with let's say 15 great great grandparents who are white and 1 great great grandparent who was a black slave then do I automatically obtain the reparations? How white looking do I need to be or how many black ancestors do I need to still confirm my right to reparations? What percentage of a particular racial background do I require to meet the threshold? Is there even a threshold? We just give the money etc to anyone with even one a black ancestor who was proven to be a slave? Conversely I look black but half my great great great grandparents were slaves and the other half of my great great great grandparents were in fact slave owners? Do I get the money? Should the descendants of slave owners benefit? Start playing with the percentages. Also consider this example: I'm black and my ancestors came from Haiti or Jamaica but my family has lived in New York since the 1820s. However my family were slaves in Jamaica and Haiti in the 1700s. I have no whites in my family. Do I get the reparations or miss out because that slavery wasn't in the USA even though my family have been US citizens for 200 years? So how inclusive or exclusive are the reparations and finding the borderline becomes an exercise in racially profiling every American. And having them prove their exact ancestry could be difficult, because if you cannot exactly prove it then you might be missing out on reparations to which you are entitled. It would become a gold mine for lawyers. Then we come down to how much money is owed. If I had just 1 ancestor who was a slave in South Carolina the 1860s do I get the same amount as someone with 15 ancestors who were slaves in 1863? Let's carry that further: I have 15 slave ancestors from South Carolina from the 1760s (immediately before the USA existed), but no slave ancestors after the creation of the USA. Am I still entitled to reparations? But the guy next to me had 1 slave ancestor in 1863 only. Yet he's entitled to full reparations? So again what's the time threshold. Do we cut it off at 1776 for example. What's fair?
There are many problematic examples and many generations after the fact it becomes an exercise that sounds great as a speech but difficult in its practicality.
@@JACK-OMARI you wish.
Ah, the typical "Uncle Tom" response by an illiterate who doesn't know the true story of Josiah Henson. @@JACK-OMARI

Reperations have already been paid by those long years of affirmative actions. We have had systemic racism in this country for some time now. it was called affirmative action. If it was not adventagious to be black not so many people would be trying to pass even though they are just a fraction black. Raciest means nothing anymore. People need to stand for true equality and not be afraid to be labeled a racist for doing so..
@@WILTALK white women have benefited from reparations more than any other group. Please stop repeating the stupid shit you read on the Internet and read a book.
What do y’all mean by this ? Y’all do know that there was much more after slavery so called “ended” right ? Black ppl only been considered humans in this country since 1964 after the civil rights act was reluctantly passed.
@@watsongono3689 I think its very clear what was meant.
Mr. Thomas Sowell is one of the most gifted men to ever exist and he just happens to be an American. just put aside any bias or I'm bigger than the room and listen to him as you would your elderly grandfather giving out jewels of wisdom. the world is not fair, nor does Mr. Sowell profess that it ever was.
As a South African, I'd be willing to pay reparations to the US for the suffering that Trevor Noah has brought there.
Edit: After Comedy Central decided to deport this African back to the motherland, my offer for reparations has unfortunately expired. Xoxo
Its interesting how he ignores historic slavery and strict segregation in SA.
Lmaooo
🤣🥳🤣🥳
🤣🤣🤣 I appreciate your wit!
Hilarious 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
"Somewhere watching this interview there's a young Thomas Sowell"
We can only hope.
Furthermore, I think a young Thomas Sowell can come from anywhere, and be any race, or either gender.
Bravo!
I like what you said but they only let in the elite. The whole system needs to change in order for it to be reality. But this is easy just do what the man said. Work hard, get married, have kids. Divorce, abortion, should not be accepted states unless it prevented harm and death.
Yep and Sowells advice will work, thats not a coicendence
Lord forbid. Out of the mouth of white boy's.
@@HigherSelfTarot what was it
"Hopelessness is one of the biggest products of the race industry." that says it all, Mr Sowell. So succint.
All STUPIDITY. The ALMIGHTY make it so that ALL MAN'S NEED IS HERE. What hopelessness is there. NONE!!!, Serve GOD, and you will ALWAYS BE HOPEFUL.
Thomas Sowell wants everyone to succeed. And he's not afraid to tell the truth about how you get there. The truth is, that its never easy, its always going to take grit and hard work. Sometimes it'll feel unfair, but that is life. Blaming others will only fill you with resentment and hopelessness.
It's always funny hearing a successful wealthy person preach about how they are being held back
They are not preaching about how they are being held back they are making up a lie that the rest of the community is being held back by the mean old white man and they need to relay on the government to succeed.
Especially one with little to no intellect or talent.
They offer little of any real substance so they take the easy route and moralize and virtue signal in order to receive praise and adoration from the unthinking public. It's everywhere in the world today.
Perhaps he'd be more successful and wealthy, if he weren't held back. #nevertoomuch
@@juicy_apple_x4046 - Way to prove my point.
My family did not own slaves. My family came from Italy. I will not give one penny to anyone for slavery
If you're Italian, then there's probably 99+% chance that your family owned slaves and were slaves at some point in history. Not in the US obviously.
Even if they did you owe them nothing. Groups are not responsible to one another in society...individuals are. This is an idea that the left hates. Personal responsibility...for ones own choices and actions. We all come from ancestors who owned slaves cause as this video so plainly explains, slavery was a worldwide problem for thousands of years! Go back far enough and you will find an ancestor who owned slaves so therefore we are all guilty by association according to leftist ideology. So no one would get paid.
@@teeemm9456 not black slaves.
@@juliomiguel6597 Of all places, Italy has had interactions with Africa throughout history. Raiding along the Mediterranean coast and beyond went both ways and history indicates trade routes already came from central Africa to Europe a couple thousand years before the Americas were colonized. Just because they weren't really involved in the transatlantic slaving, doesn't mean there were no black slaves in Italy.
@@juliomiguel6597 Just to be clear, I think the whole "reparations" idea is stupid beyond belief, specifically because of the spotty history and the fact that people are incapable of figuring out how it would be dealt with. Although Italy would probably one of the countries to owe the most money if we had a historic lens that could accurately provide the information.
I read one of Sowell’s books about 20 years ago. In the chapter on school choice, Sowell said choice would allow a student in a poor school the opportunity to go to a better school. But, in the chapter on government subsidized housing, he said that the poor families that moved into a better neighborhood would send their kids to the better school and those kids would reduce the quality of education in those better schools.
Now, it is odd how a student from a poor school, and possibly a poor neighborhood, could choose to attend a better school and all is fine and dandy. But let the family of that same student move into a better neighborhood and that same student would reduce the quality of education in the better school. Funny that.
Although the percentage of the population is considerably smaller, there are MORE slaves alive today than at any other point in recorded history.

8:59 is weird a South African like him mentions land knowing the sad experience in Zimbabwe, or here in Peru. The land is taken away from the owners under the excuse that it was land taken by force, and given "back" to the workers. The workers don't know how to use it, and in some cases just get in debt to get cars instead of maintaining the tools and machines; then today those lands have lost their value and if they aren't abandoned the people there barely can survive producing for themselves. Meanwhile the former owners are in the city are progressing with a profession. The land by itself has no value, so by itself is not stolen wealth, it doesn't contribute to anything.
Ain’t that the truth? I know perfectly well what you’re talking about…lived in Zimbabwe long time ago…when things were still working nicely and everyone was happy!
I wish to live in a world where videos like this go viral.
Trevor, you do it! If you feel so strongly about. You give up all your money and give it to the black community.
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Isaiah 14:21-22 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the Lord.
Revelation 13:10 - KJV - He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Not giving up his money was supposed to be getting what we put in society for one our tax dollars secondly and most importantly the suffering they came from our existence of being here as prisoners of war do our ancestors mothers and fathers and grandparents we are part of America's original sing it with a blood legacy of it and you're talkin stupid
Right? I say that to people all the time, if your so upset, moved, passionate about something what are YOU going to do about it. How much money will you give, how much time will you invest, how much of YOU are you going to use to help the problem? I lose most at that moment, usually the conversation is changed immediately. The Bible tells us to do this. Not our king, Ceaser, government etc
Why should Trevor give up his wealth he never enslaved anyone but the American government did!
@@haroldrandall so tax revenue, which goes to help support poor people, would be used for this reparations idea, but not the money of rich people, like Noah.
That's really lucky for Trevor, huh? The policy he supports wouldn't directly cost him any of his vast fortune.
The guy interviewing Thomas in this legendary interview has such a respect for sowell. You can tell he’s hanging onto every word the man says and is genuinely excited to be speaking to such an intelligent and interesting person
I’m clued to my phone listening to this educated genius. I bet you will not find one of his books in any American college or university today except the school where he teaches economics.
@@RB-ls3bt true, but that is because all the other universities have academic standards, and the university Sowell works for doesn’t. If you believe Sowell is an educated genius, I have a bridge for sale. Special price, just for you.
@@michielkarskens2284 So when Sowell drops facts and other people use feelings, it's because academic standards are now based on feelings?
MK- genius may be debated but a bs from Harvard a masters degree from Colombia and a PhD from University of Chicago? He is obviously educated.
@@teeemm9456 Sowell literally uses "facts" based on his feelings. For example, he says one of his "favorite" statistics is about the poverty line: that blacks have a rate of 22% in poverty when single and 7.5% when married. he ONLY mentions that single whites have a poverty level of 11%. he actively omits the statistic that white married couples have a poverty rate of 3.5%.
Right, the Irish didn’t suffer.
My 5x great grandfather immigrated to New Brunswick, NJ from Ireland. He built a house (the house still stands), had a family, and then went off to fight and die in the civil war.
Imagine working for your whole life to build something, then the government of your new country sweeps you away to fight and die in a war you have no benefit to fight in.
Amen there is no next new Thomas Sowell. He is a once in a lifetime gift.
A little story.
Trevor was born in Joburg in 1984, 19 days after I was - in a suburb not far from Joburg.
He is 'coloured', I am white. He grew up for a time in Soweto, the largest black township in the country. A far cry from the average family home I did.
Then my parents divorced at age 5. We then lived in small, run down homes, repeatedly moving due to crime and my mother's need for work as my father didn't often pay maintenance for us.
I went to school in whatever school was local. I would share a bath with my two younger siblings that was a few inches deep because the hot water came from the kettle. We only got second hand clothes and toys.
Whilst Trevor was in Soweto his quality of life would likely have been worse than mine.
Then he went to a private Roman Catholic high school.
I did not.
From that point on he went on to radio, TV....and the rest is history.
I work in a factory in the UK, am now married and earn a living wage.
So tell me. Where is the privilege? By his logic I should have done far better than him due to my 'whiteness', and he should not have had the success he has had - especially with us both born in SA. My mother was passed by on many jobs because of affirmative action - again, being white in this instance was a hindrance, not a privilege.
I'll tell you were it is. Economic privilege. His father evidently paid for his schooling, which raises him up out of poverty and was the springboard to his success. And I am pleased for him.
My family never had money and so we were denied many such privileges - that's also fine.
He paints this picture that racism is so prevalent that blacks are always poor and white always prosper. And his argument for when this is reversed is that 'you whites still have privilege you just don't know it'.
Utter nonsense.
He has indeed forgotten his roots. His has chosen to forget that he got into a private school that, were it riven with racism, would not have allowed him in, and has evidently chosen to ignore that while racism was and is still a substantial part of daily life in SA, there are and were, many many blacks, whites, coloured, Chinese, Indian etc etc in SA who were good people and judged others by their character.
He has fallen far from his roots, greased with wealth and submerged in leftist ideology that is, pardon the phrase, very black and white.
From one South African to another, I am disappointed in him. He could have been such a positive beacon for true progress. He is anything but.
Ignorance is dangerous, I hate racism and I don't tolerate it but it seems the government benefits more in keeping people locked in the idea that they are not equipped dud to the fact that there was slavery, apartheid and segregation but in reality they are the oppressors. The ANC govt for an example is one that savages resources all in the name of slavery and white supremacy, you look east of the country stands yet another breast dripping with the gifts of ignorance: Zululand and Swaziland who are benefiting highly from this blanket we all want to find warmth in, going northwestern now are the wealthiest subdivisions of Tswana royalties who cash in innumerable sums of cash but have not yet changed the state of their people. In conclusion, in as much as the white sailor who landed on whatever shores that history says he did he too was a manipulated savage having believed what their government structure taught them, the people accountable still point fingers beyond themselves but really we are less informed but our ignorance is what is killing us I love you white fam stay white and I love being black in world where there's you...

Trevor Noah is a poor man’s John Oliver, who himself is a poor man’s Stephen Colbert, who himself is a poor man’s Jon Stewart.
That's pretty good. I never actually formulated that in my mind, but I think that's how I've always viewed that crowd. LOL
Lmaoo
@Jordan Mills well... Oliver disgusts me
Lol I actually pictured that gradual decline each time getting poorer and poorer 🤣
Trevor changed since he is working in the USA. He knows the German-Africans very well, fighting them politically is Trevors biggest mistake. He should know all about it, being born a African-German in South-Africa. He didnt get much love from the Africans for being a mixed breed. He constantly denies it but knows it very well.
Sowell is the great apologist for slavery. I’d to see him debate Noah in person.
Thomas making a very good point about the aptitude levels of those who come from generations of low income vs. those who don't. 4:48-5:50.
What makes me mad about people like Trevor Noah is that his argument that he used to be poor is somehow more valid than “I’m still poor, where’s my privilege.” And he says he understands that you can’t see your privileges as he stares down from his ivory tower.
exactly this
I don't believe he grew up poor. I could be wrong, but I think he grew up in an artsy upper middle class biracial background. Yes apartheid was in effect during his upbringing, but he personally was not affected by it like other South Africans with black roots.
he lost me at the golf analogy.
This is the kind of attitude that makes poor people want to rampage pillage and loot the wealthy. It's obvious not right in either case, but I'd suspect self-righteous shmuks like this, to automatically claim their victimhood in crime as a factor of their skin pigmentation... blah blah blah. 🙄
Exactly 💯
“The way anyone else Would, you equip yourself with skills someone is willing to pay for”. Amen.

I'm British and and I fucking Love Thomas Sowell. His don't be a victim attitude and not all culture is worth carrying on is so true. I found that when you're highly competent and demonstrate your value..most companies will happily hire anyone from anywhere. Like Sowell said...they love themselves more than they hate you. So if you make them money they will hire you.
Dr. Thomas Sowell tendría que venir a la Argentina a enseñar esa simple máxima: "Equípate de capacidades por las que otros estén dispuestos a pagar." Sencillo y clarísimo.
I went to school with first year Nigerian-Americans who were all brilliant. These same first-generation Americans were children of college professors who came from NIgeria who did not enter the country as such.

You are brittle if you only acknowledge certain parts of history and not others.

Isn't it funny how the only part in Trevor knows rant that gets a laugh of approval from the audience is the part where he explains the absurdity of "White privilege" which decimates his own point.
To decimate something is to destroy (kill) one tenth of the whole. I knew what you meant and I took it as he "obliterated his own point."

Clever point @Joel. Noah IS black and succeeded. (T Sowell as well, for that matter). But look at the odds he overcame to do so...
The point of minority assistance programs is / should be to widen the window of people who can contribute meaningfully to society.
If an otherwise talented person is kept out of the skilled labor force because of his race or because of poor parents or because he
doesn't have a social network or role models, we all lose out on the work that he could have done over his lifetime. This is even more
true for people with more potential. Some of them do succeed despite the odds, but if more of them succeeded, we'd all benefit.
@@AdamDeRidder The problem is that every underachieving minority who didn't become the next great Elvis/Einstein will claim his race held him back when the vast majority of people are simply not that remarkable. Nobody liked their shitty screenplay and it wouldn't have mattered if their skin were purple. Affirmative action turns everyone into a resentful "victim" and has them stick their hand out.
Sowell is always telling the inconvenient truth . He uses old school things that are out of date-like facts, statistics, reason. Truth. I discovered Sowell and Christopher Hitchens too late in life. I'm 52. Discovered them about 5 years ago - life changing.
The "truth" part is confusing, given that reparations have been given to other groups. It is a silly argument.

Trevor Noah's greatest contribution was being the comedian who took over The Daily Show and improved it by removing all the humor from the show. Congratulations Trevor on all the success you have achieved 👏
Trevor Noah was really good before the daily show. Literally he has been egged on to push the far far left movement. Sucks. I was watching Trevor Noah back in 2012 and thought he was great. Bc he was. Now his ship has sailed away. Time to jump off and create your own brand.

Of course he is to you lol
@@DGreen951 why is that an "lol"?
@@robertbuckey6517
cuz he 's a l@ir by generalizing things !!
Setting only colored in c.ages as a.nimals, with no future contract to free them , no basics of sla.ve right wut so ever !!
As they are created as for one purpose and bea.ting them to death and treating them less then a.nimals !!
All this sh1.t isn't considered slavery like other parts of this world!! That's clear pure white supremacy and aggression !!!
"The way anybody else would. You equip yourself with skills that people are willing to pay for."
Exactly right. 💯
Sowell wouldn't debate James Baldwin because he was afraid to get his feelings hurt. Baldwin was so intelligent.
It would be enlightening for Noah to extend an invitation to Thomas Sowell to his program to discuss the legacy of slavery. You better believe people will be greatly informed by Sowell's insight. The man is an intellectual giant.
Dr. Sowell is getting up there in age now. It so sad we could be losing a gentle and wonderful man .. he is 91 now
@Psiberactive Replicant Checked out some of his videos. Because I had never heard of Claud before your comment, I would think he would make a good guest too, and it would give him more visibility.
Legacy ???
I have listened to Mr. Sowell on occasion. His take on slavery, "African Chattel" vs 1st- Century is wanting. I have given classes on both and they are different animals by far and are juxtaposed to one another and must be compared and contrasted in order to fully appreciate them.
@Psiberactive Replicant I did not want to say it but you are so right. He has spent his whole life impugning African Americans.
Does Trevor Noah realise that by the very fact he was born in South Africa, regardless of being mixed race, he wasn't a descendant of slaves......
Do you realize the history of apartheid in South Africa that Trevor Noah may have experienced some of?
@@benwaggler3541 he is not old enough to have truly experienced apartide. By the time he was born it was greatly in decline and although the laws existed to support it there was little of the segregation still being practised
Does Trevor Noah realize he’s as white as he is black?
@@benwaggler3541 Apartheid??? Was he even alive back then??
@@robertb6701 Yes, he was a child when the legislation was repealed.
I enjoyed both presentations… Noah did a great job articulating why he thought reparations are needed. Sowell of course makes perfect sense especially since he is coming from economic prowess. I wish the two could come together at a table and talk and shed these issues
“It’s just a privilege that you can’t see or use and doesn’t benefit you in any discernible way…”
-Trevor Noah, basically
The sad part is that no one on the left ever debates people like Sowell and when the majority of conservatives makes these arguments they simply do not have his knowledge.
Or they're white, and "not allowed" to say it.
Reparations is the right thing to do! The slave owner must pay money to the slaves. ALL ARE DEAD
Sowell would get destroyed
@@cutwagmanthe government can pay reparations for the Jim Crow era millions of those survivors are still alive
The best direct comment I have heard in years. "Equip yourself with skills that others are willing to pay for".
Even the interviewer closed up and guarded from letting whatever he was saying, thinking he is the smartest black man to demand evidence before considering the talk about reparations.
So rich that they don't define "chattel" from the other forms of slavery. This brother can kick rocks to.
Thomas Sowell most brilliant, thoughtful, and respectful person I have ever have ever had the pleasure and honor to read and listen to.
I found Thomas Sowell in 1991 when my college professor told me to look up someone I disagreed with. Found out, he was the most brilliant, factual,hurtual and honest man teachings I have ever read.
You are a sick confused white woman that only agrees with him because he makes you feel less guilty for being white. If a Jewish person had this same view regarding the holocaust you’d think it was wrong. You are sick
You can't compare this joker with Thomas sowell
Diamond (Sowell) and charcoal (Noah)
Have you noticed this dude has never actually debated anyone in all this time. Dude made a living talking about the price of tea in China and selling it to people looking to soothe that guilt.

What? Who financed America's Agricultural & Industrial Ages, King Cotton, Slave/Home Mortgages, Wall Street, New England's textile manufactures, America's Maritime might, the U.S. railroads? Who shared in 200M acres of Homestead land to get a start in life? Who got our "40 Acres & a Mule"? Who received our 1M Blacks-owned farms from Reconstruction to the 1980s? Who got home mortgage assistance to live in the new suburbs with well-equipped schools, banks, shopping centers, decent public transportation, recreation centers/playing fields/swimming pools, and other amenities, or GI BILL college scholarships, or minimum wages, social security and unemployment compensation under FDR? We could have used that land to generate household wealth to weather storms, bequeath to future generations, etc. How is it that households headed by White high school dropouts have an average household net worth 25% more than ones headed by Black college graduates? Economics shows we are the country's permanent bottom-caste by design, despite having built its stealth economics with our free and low wage labor. Many of YOU PEOPLE suggest we "pull ourselves up from our bootstrap," and believe WE have the "complexion for the protection." Thomas Sowell sweeps the Native Black American condition under the rug, almost like gaslighting, which is why he's the apple of so many White folks' eyes.
we are talking about slavery in america, slavery, Jim Crow, Reconstruction, systemic racism
This whole conversation seems to revolve around a single, *Simple* question really, *'How much money??'*
A simple question, with a complicated answer that I have *NEVER* heard a true answer for!!
“Equip yourself with skills people are willing to pay for.”
Noah, from South Africa, worth $40 million, tells black people "you are a victim, you can't make it with out the white man's help". That man is decay.
Comes with being black and successful, if you don’t you won’t be successful for long
Your talking points are very shallow mate. get an understanding, or listen to someone who really understands this dynamic like Claude anderson, not shallow uncle Thomas sowell.

Trevor Noah is a classic case of someone who doesn't actually think.
I absolutely agree that reparations and compensation should be paid to every individual now living who personally suffered slavery.
Trevor Noah's contract with Viacom is for $16 million per year...to host a TV show.
😮🤦♂️
A show that's looks like it cost $600 a week to run.
Kinda needs Capitalism for that!
Thank you Mr. Sowell. You are a voice of reason.
Yes the cover the world always needed when they are busy bashing "Black" people. Hmmm this comment section is dripping with contempt and condensation all sugar coated in supposed concern.🙉🙈🙊

Think about the fact that slavery was abolished in America before it was in africa. Even to this day.
Those people who sold black ancestors should pay for their reparations. 😮
An 'entertainer' stands no chance against the genius of Dr Sowell.
If you look up this guy is older gentleman the education that he had and what he wants through is amazing this man is brilliant
That's might white of you Wesley. Thomas Sowell conveniently ignores that black people have done everything he said. Only to be met white retribution and violence. Think "Black Wall Street" , "Red Summer of 1919" to name but a few of dozens. Just because you don't know history and love white apologist, doesn't make this guy brilliant.

Thomas Sowell is a gift to the world. Thank you so much for sharing your insights throughout your life, sir. I thank you.
Gift to the white world, make it clear.
Maybe a gift to you. He is always arguing by himself, and his hopeless conclusions are not tested.
Thomas Sowell is such a brilliant mind and totally shreds Noah’s case.

I re-watch these videos again and again and again. He reminds me of my Grandpa -- common sense advice, common sense approach to discussing issues, and common sense approach to thinking them through.
Some people's ancestors were serfs at the same time that there was slavery in america, but I'm sure there're a thousand different reasons why that's different...
Being a 30 year old black lesbian. I grew up in the mindset of Trevor. There was really no reason for me to think differently because this perspective was all I had around me. But I as I grew older Thomas Sowells perspective started to stand out to me. Because after I started to raise out of poverty I realized the same conversation about “the man” holding me down didn’t feel like it applied. If I kept the mentality like my friends and fam back then I would have not be where I am. Because like Thomas Sowell explains it does create hopelessness when all you hear around you is that you from people that look like you is that “white people are holding us back”. “But I can’t because I’m black.” “The man”. “The white man won’t let us prosper. Like wtf do you think that does to a child’s ambition. That deteriorates every bit of their hope that they can make it despite the past. Today I site on a sales team being the only black person in my entire office and They only black woman. And I look around and wonder why there are not more people that look like me there and I think of this.
Do I believe we should receive the reparations that was promised in the first place to descendants of slaves yes.
Do I think that will solve all our problems. No.
We can have that land and property. But! What good would it be if it is given to the black people that are not financially educated? The root is doing something on our own and not waiting for that but also acknowledging that the past is fd up and it absolute has affected how we live now.
All in all. I think we should acknowledge the past. And create solutions that are rooted in educating the black community so that we can actually catch up and rise on the economic latter…
You won the ancestral lottery by not being born in Africa and you want reparations? How about this, $10,000 plus a one way ticket back to the African country of your choice, on condition you relinquish your US citizenship.
@@mistersmacky that's a rather hostile response. Now I don't think that reparations will have the results that the left think it will. It mostly uninvolved people are who will have to pay for it. So it's sota baseless relocation of wealth, that will ultimately only hurt more people. (My opinion at least)
Most of her response was saying that through her life experiences has taught her that. That business and or white wealthy people as a whole aren't standing in the way, of black Americans as much as the rhetoric being taught. (I apologize if I missed read)
That's a huge step in the right direction. We should be looking to empower people at every chance. How someone views themselves and what they believe there capable of. Is so much more important then were you come from.
Aye you need to dial back the hate train. If one thing steps out of line of your "views" that you explode like that. You might want to check yourself, figure out were that anger is coming from.
You cannot agree with Thomas and think we need reparations at the same time. You need to clear your head.
Saying people today need money for a past issue is like saying White Northern Americans ancestors are owed payment by blacks in all of america for losses due to death in the civil war.
I disagree with some points. That was an amazing answer though. Great if that’s how the majority of people wanting reparations for slavery in America. Reparations would be an impossibility at this point to go about now. My parents are from South Africa. Should my tax dollars go towards reparations in America where none of my ancestors ever even lived ? Should I get reparations ? I am African American after all. What about people who’s ancestors died fighting to free slaves ? Not all Americans owned land so do the white people that were poor and not land owners get reparations or pay reparations? Also people of all races pay taxes so how is it fair to other groups that their taxes go towards slave reparations?
Now if we were going to just send all white people a bill, wouldn’t be fair to many people who just moved here at all, but would be the easiest way. 2 % of white people are homeless. Even if you ask them to they won’t be able to pay. About 20% of white people would refuse and another 20% would lie and say they are something other then white the second that law passed. So 58% of white people would be footing the entire bill ? Probably won’t be the richest either because they will identify as anything but white. And if that 58% more then half didn’t even live here during slavery and less then 1% have any relation to a slave owner at all.
I really did like your response and I am curious to see what your arguments would be to those points.
What people fail to appreciate is Noah is an entertainer and personality first and foremost. It's not important to him to be right. His goal is popularity and viewership so he panders. He most likely dosnt know what he himself believes and probably just doesn't care.
And just like Obama he is a biracial man that is NOT African American or descended from enslaved people
Only people who would be enlightened are ones who are Indenial.
That moment when he speaks about affirmative action and you realise the Supreme Court termed it unlawful just a day ago!
Youth & ignorance v maturity, education, and wisdom
The word slave literally comes from when the Slavic people were enslaved by northern Africans, are Slavic people going to get reparations as well?
The Slavs were the main slaves of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East for centuries because they lived in a cold swampy region away from the ocean coastline, so were unorganized for the longest time.
Christians under the Ottoman empire..
Reparations for all Christians?
you are a quite good comedian.
when was that?? how come no slav

do you want to tell me about my ancestry?? your common knowledge is a ridiculous boatload of BS,seemingly. 'slav' stems from the slavic word for honor,reputation.
the english word 'slave' was derived
from latin 'sclavus'.
i guess education is hard to obtain around where you live.
🙁 Trevor Noah use to be so funny but I can't continue to listen to his rants about injustice as he enjoys the comfort of having the right to say whatever he wants without fear. Doesn't seem too oppressed to me.
Noah has done quite well for himself hasn’t he…
Noah could not win an argument with himself much less a brilliant man like Thomas Sowell.
I agree with both. I think in the middle is where you get the truth. I see a lot of people dismss the effects of racism, i dont feel they takr it seriously. On the other hand, i know exactly what sowell is speaking about when he says you have people running around hopeless because they feel like its pointless, ive seen this type of talk with my own eyes.
But i think a mix of both perspectives gives you the gold and clearsst picture.
I lost all respect for Trevor Noah. He was once a really funny, self-deprecating comedian. His years in America had turned him into a typical politically correct bore trying to find favour by being on the "right side" of a country currently being rent apart by identity politics mania. Talk about jumping on the bandwagon....
Why, because he spoke the truth and made you uncomfortable? so that you know, the word does not exist just for your comfort and pleasure, you’re acting like noah’s here on earth only to live up to your expectations?
@@anthonyblackman7669 Trevor Noah is a sellout who caters to the White liberal savior crowd and helps to perpetuate black victimization. He speaks a lot and says very little.
@@samueljohnson444 let's ignore Trevor for a second, can you come out of your bubble and acknowledge that based on historical fact, that America did black people wrong? Can you acknowledge that damage was done to Black Americans, not just by slavery alone, but through Jim Crow, redlining, the prison industrial system, and miseducation? And those latter things are not 100 years ago. This is within our parents and grandparents lifetime. And the residual damage that was done even then, is still felt this present day. If you can acknowledge that there was damage done to black people in America, then all black people are asking for is reparative compensation.
It's amazing how it's easier for people to except native Americans receiving reparations, or the Japanese receiving reparations, or America paying reparations to Israel, which what happened to Israel, America had nothing to do with it. But billions of dollars is sent to Israel each year. However, when it comes to black people receiving reparations, all of a sudden it's a problem. But yet it's common knowledge that black people suffered terribly in America.
And let's not forget that America promised black people reparations after reconstruction, but reneged on that promise. So If you can acknowledge these truths, then this is why black people are owed reparations here in America.
@@MountTheodore72 Exactly! This is the part that some dont want to discuss
@@MountTheodore72 Well said Sir!!!!!
Noah vs Thomas seriously? That’s soo funny that its depressing.
It was weirdly entertaining, like watching a train utterly wreck one of these cheaply programmed deliver robots.
And slavery still continues today...
That's one more good thing about ending affirmative action... it makes people work harder to get ahead and earn it!
The problem with affirmative action was not its establishment. It had its time and place. The problem was that it lasted to long and began to be seen as an entitlement by minorities.
i have never owned a slave.my foreathers never owned slaves. have never owned a plantation and cant understand how humans could justify doing such a thing and sleep well at night. mr sowell is correct. if we could trace our family trees back far enough i would assume most of us would find out that. someone was a slave to somebody. i would like to say this to noah. i respect his opinion but disagree. lets be honest poor is poor. a bad neighborhood is a bad neighborhood and being poor is a disadvantage no matter the color of a humans skin.
as far as white privledge goes.
that may apply to some but not to all because i could use some about now and its not knocking on my door. noah keeps saying you as though every white person owns a bank or created jim crow laws
maybe the familys of union soldiers who died during the civil war should receive repreations for the familys the never had. the lives they did not get to live.
If you are white it's difficult to argue that you don't have privilege. It's like saying "I'm a cheetah, not a lion, but I still hunt for prey whom may be deer" you still carry a level of advantage that the "black person" whom may be a cat just doesn't have the luxury of carrying. If that makes sense. Your whiteness isn't an anomaly. It's still relevant whether you know it or not. It's naive to think otherwise.
Also if the ancestors goes far enough it could be a percentage system to whom gets what. Just by reducing the argument or completely ignoring the reasoning of WHY it should be done doesn't solve a thing. It isn't either or, it can be calculated based on a tiered system and should be tried and applied. Whether some get more than others is a concern but it doesn't mean the end of the world. It simply allows for more oversight on the matter.
Consider these Tom: “Huck [Finn] and Tom [Sawyer] represent two viable models of the American Character. They exist side by side in every American and every American action. America is, and always has been, undecided about whether it will be the United States of Tom or the United States of Huck. The United States of Tom looks at misery and says: Hey, I didn't do it. It looks at inequity and says: All my life I have busted my butt to get where I am, so don't come crying to me. Tom likes kings, codified nobility, unquestioned privilege. Huck likes people, fair play, spreading the luck around. Whereas Tom knows, Huck wonders. Whereas Huck hopes, Tom presumes. Whereas Huck cares, Tom denies. These two parts of the American Psyche have been at war since the beginning of the nation, and come to think of it, these two parts of the World Psyche have been at war since the beginning of the world, and the hope of the nation and of the world is to embrace the Huck part and send the Tom part back up the river, where it belongs.”
― George Saunders, The Braindead Megaphone
“Privilege is not in and of itself bad; what matters is what we do with privilege. I want to live in a world where all women have access to education, and all women can earn PhD’s, if they so desire. Privilege does not have to be negative, but we have to share our resources and take direction about how to use our privilege in ways that empower those who lack it.”
― bell hooks, Homegrown: Engaged Cultural Criticism
Most us didn’t, our ancestors were too poor to afford them anyway and most white people stayed in Europe
WOULD YOU HAVE OWNED A SLAVE 300 YEARS AGO?

Victims of this countries continuous attitude of cognitive dissonance seems more of a culture.

Whenever black people complain, the white fragility rears its pathetic and ugly head with here they go again, because they don't want to hear the truth. Even some ignorant black people. Maybe if you walked in my shoes and had a face to face conversation with me I could teach something and show you things, but you have to take off the blinders and be willing to look. You must step outside of your HUBRIS and pocket your opinion and you'll realize that in spite of my successes, I've been and still till this day, victimized and plagued by bigots and racists coming out of their face.

He's using his intelligence to keep his job

OH SHIT!!! He hit him with the “High Brow” burn. I pictured you with a top hat and a monocle when you said it. Good job man. Hahahaha
@The CG comment, I disagree.
I don’t think he is using it stupidly, I think just hes looking at the issue from the emotional angles and not letting go. And although its important to acknowledge faults of the past, I dont think we need to dwell on them and create political talking points out & campaign slogans about them just because they once existed. I think weve become bizarrely childish and emotional in modern societies while on other hand, increasingly connected and robotic! Very strange times.
Trevor seems to speak from a trance state of emotion about points in history that are tragic but have passed, and all this dwelling isnt inspiring self determination and empowerment in any of his audiences.
Well atleast in my opinion this is where the issue is 😅
Thanks for showing up from another country and criticizing ours. I think South Africa needs your help more than the United States.

Yes, all living slave owners should pay reparations to living slaves.
