So great to see Coleman with the GoodFellows. I watch podcasts like these to hear people who are better informed than I am, toward becoming better informed myself and also to exercise my brain. Thanks to all four.
Have you tried to understand people with different stances? This would help you a lot more as there's a good chance you will encounter someone with different values and beliefs. Coleman may intrigue you but he's pretty simplistic other than tossing out a few buzzwords learned from taking an undergraduate class. Most people don't even understand research articles they even read.
I would like to know what is your major you're currently studying for? I do think that maybe Coleman is a smart fellow but he might not be knowledgeable as you think he is. Podcasters are viewed as experts just because they have a large following. Coleman is no different. His views are opinion based.
I'm stunned. What Mr. Hughes says about the death of Tony Timpa (12:49-13:12) is something I never thought I'd hear from a Black commentator. Thank you for your honesty!
I am 77 years old, and every great relationship i have made has been based on Character. When a person does what they say they will do, and do it well, thats Character. It has absolutely nothing to do with the color of a persons skin, or their creed.
Agreed. The color issue might be pertinent for first few minutes of a new relationship, but once you see beyond the person's facade, you'll know if you want them in your life (or as an employee, etc).
When the moderator declares that the goal is to achieve the ideal of a colorblind society, he should be aware that the race hustlers want anything BUT a colorblind society. Stirring the racial hatred plot is what works for both white and black race hustlers.
Between February 1942, until August 1945, my father, along with many, many others from Australia, Britain, Holland and the United States was a slave to the Japanese Imperial Army in Malaysia/Thailand and Burma. My dad was transported to Japan on board a prison ship in 1944 and spent the remainder of the war as a forced laborer in Hiroshima. The atomic bomb ended his incarceration but he wore the scars till the day he died in 1997. None of his descendants, to my knowledge, appealed for reparations. Funny how some people regard themselves as victims and seem to treat this as a privileged status.
This young man is as sharp as a tack. I was sold the minute I saw his Thomas Sowell shirt. We should do whatever Dr. Sowell says. The man is a literal font of knowledge on just about every subject. I need one of those shirts, i hope it comes in 3X???
HR's measured, diplomatic, and professional assessment of Trump's strengths and weaknesses is that of a man who might well work constructively for or with a future Trump presidency. I think this indicates the general gives Trump pretty good odds of winning in 2024.
"Obama came in with the dream of a post-racial America" How carefully phrased that was. Obama's deliberate actions, more often than not, worked against that dream rather than for it. His best service seems to be in normalizing assimilation, among a certain percentage (hopefully a large one) of black people in this country. I think that without Obama, there would not be so many men like Coleman Hughes in public life. I think that if Obama had been more like Thomas Sowell, there would be many, many more.
The gentleman asking the Coleman for advice for his two young children as they are half cast is exactly what’s wrong with America. Always blaming the woes of society on skin colour rather then taking responsibility for themselves. Coleman is exactly what is needed in America, common sense truth speaking truth. Also, he mentioned an individual who conducted research in the educational system and fired most of the teachers within that particular school, I couldn’t agree more!
when i visited cuba in 2004, the government approved tour guide answered my question as to where the native population went, when cuba was colonised, by replying "they were wiped out"
Not related to this specific episode; why haven’t you gotten Francis Fukuyama on your podcast? You’re at the same university. He’s probably one of the most interesting scholars from California.
This is honestly the most refreshing and thought-provoking discussion on "race in America" that I've heard in a long time. And at the risk of also sharing a personal opinion - why do we continue to use a term ("race") that the scientific community stopped using decades ago, having determined that it has no scientific value, and doesn't really exist? It continues solely as a cultural term that exists because we repeat it, but certainly not a scientific one. I find this a little bizarre, though public discourse is rarely ever rooted in science, it seems...
Great show. Cheers. Ill add, I don't understand the majority, of what you do and stand for. Either way, great to share Earth's and Her Majesty, the Great United States. great, and good.
Afte 50 years of affirmative action and billions in subsidy, you’d think so. This class warfare marxist trope is cancer. Thank you for actually orienting a hypothetical audience properly so that they can get to work legitimately, not profit from corruption
Sorry but i don’t really think Floyd was murdered since the restraining technique was standard practice. Hence same for Timpa. However, the restraint should not be used if it has the risk of death.
When Tony Timpa stopped breathing by the "restraining technique", instead of checking for a pulse and calling and ambulance, police officers began laughing and making. Similar thing happened to Floyd. Hardly a standard practice.
The opportunities to move our society forward that are being missed due to obsessing over issues of identity-most often based on immutable characteristics- is quite astounding considering it’s 2023. I wonder how our ancestors will view this societal phase?
Niall asked Mr. Hughes what advice he should give his mixed-race sons about living in 2020s America. From my vantage point, those kids look to have been born with not one but two silver spoons in their mouths, as 1. the children of two prominent and well-connected intellectuals who 2. will be able to climb the affirmative action hierarchy more or less effortlessly to positions of wealth, power, and status.
5:04 Spain and Portugal gave right of return to Sephardic Jews from expulsion of 1492. This allowed Brexit Brits with proven Sephardic ancestry to obtain an EU passport.
*If more people finished high school and maybe learned a trade there would be less poverty! We need to stop making excuses for people who are either lazy or content with welfare! The Cato Institute did a study several years ago that showed a typical welfare family got $38,000 a year in all benefits! That's more than some people make in a year!*
Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder and others have pointed out repeatedly that the poverty rate for married Black couples is similar if not lower than the rate for married white couples.
When aspirations ignore endemic expressions of human biology, only pain an suffering will follow. The more we infantilize each other with institutional frameworks of hyper-empathy and emotionalism, the more we remain dependent to the State. We've been doing it to ourselves for 50 years, that momentum is huge, and not easily turned.
Hate to see brilliant young people get sucked in too early to the "influencer" role, before developing their intellectual depth. Love Hughes, but outside his audience draw I don't see much beyond skipping across the pond.
Coleman too has been swept up by the zeitgeist… his eloquent and thoughtful commentary positioned him as one of the leading explainers of CRT/intersectionality… but at what cost? Does he not tire of explicating the enervating effects of the victim narrative? I hope he will make like Sowell and expand his academic repertoire.

It's refreshing to hear a straight-talking person like Mr. Hughes. 'America shouldn't minimize racism, but she also shouldn't maximize it either.' Hear, hear! As for leaving Syria, there's a dead chicken farmer with 7 fatherless kids who wish USA wouldn't be there droning civilians. DISGRACEFUL! Heads should roll at DoD, but none will, of course.
I would be willing to bet that coleman will really catch hell from some in the black community for his view on reparations. It is my opinion that Lyndon Johnson was chiefly responsible for the race issues we are facing today. Listen to Dr. Sowell on Uncommon knowledge with Peter Robinson.
Hoover institute belongs as part of the PBS programming.. at least what it was 20 years ago. You give the [thoughtful], [boomer] intellectual viewpoint for the center-right political stance of today. That is completely gone today. (Thats a compliment and criticism at the same time😅)
One thing drives the American race issue: the continuing performance gap between black and white men, according to almost any conceivable measure. Other countries can forget the crimes of their distant past because the evidence and impact are gone, or at least invisible. Russia had serfs over the same period that the Americas had slaves, but no Russians today know who is descended from whom. The thorn at the center of the US festering sore is the War on Drugs. The War on Drugs has massive ramifications, but the primary ones here are crime, homicide, incarceration, unmarriageable men, unmarried women, absent fathers, and misdirected children, all stabilizing into a dysfunctional culture that reinforces negative behaviors.
What are some good ways of addressing the problem of alienation between different races in this country? It seems to me that that's the root of the problem here.
Greetings from Quincy, Massachusetts. Having spent 9 years in a Boston homeless shelter where the “houseless” were on the same side of ignoring reality as the other sellers of a fraudulent first floor economy narrative, I tried to watch this. I did not get through or past the introductions. Click.
Etymology. African-American Vernacular English (General American would be baby's daddy) 1990s, popularized 2000s; compare baby mama. Possibly from or influenced by same term in Jamaican English, from Jamaican Creole baby-father, alternatively due simply to grammatical similarities between AAVE and Jamaican Creole.
To many of a certain age, hearing the phrase triggers a musical memory from the late ‘90s. Over a treble-heavy drum machine, a woman’s nasally voice insists to her suspicious lover that that phone call, that door knock, that person she was with the other night is no real threat. In the accompanying music video, the woman, who is Black, rolls her eyes and looks at the rapper B-Rock with annoyance as he grills her about her whereabouts and allegiances. She says again and again: 'That’s just my baby daddy.'
This idea will be objected to immediately, but give it a listen please. Give Reparations to black folks, not in cash, which is impossible on ethical grounds but in the form of a majority stake in the Cannabis Industry.Legalize pot nationally give the largest slice to black folks. Reimagine neighborhoods. Concentrate large /growing/manufacturing/processing plants in urban communities. Run solely by black folks, profits for black folks. Get some gen z Urkel to write the algorithm that gets it done. Cash reparations are a non starter. A cannabis based set aside could work.
Are the GoodFellows unaware that Elon Musk held a vote among Twitter users who voted that he should quit as CEO? Musk is merely honoring his democratic deposal.
My husband introduced me to both the Hoover institute and Coleman Hughes. What a pleasure for the two to overlap.

Coleman may intrigue you but he's pretty simplistic other than tossing out a few buzzwords learned from taking an undergraduate class. Most people don't even understand research articles they even read.
Coleman is so young yet so knowledgeable. When I write papers for my Master's thesis, I often look at his arguments to form a base for my own.
Thats called plagiarism lol

He’s not that knowledgeable, he just fools everyone with his Sam Harris imitation.
Yes, but nothing about Hughes' arguments are particularly 'out there'. He's just using facts rather than spin, which is unusual.
@@azurebadger Duh . . . Of course, you do not understand scholarship.

@@titaniumskunkogkush4365 It is difficult, but doable, for sure. Usually, one must take a "hit".

Fabulous interview ! Thank you from Austin........... Xoxoo
I can’t miss an episode! It’s becoming one of my must watch and it never disappoints. Loved the topics and perspectives. Keep it up gentlemen.
Coleman is a national treasure. 💚
This was awesome, as I'm already a follower to both Hoover Institute and Coleman.
Great interview.
Coleman is brilliant. And a helluva trombone player!
Go Coleman!
Proactive and Insightful.
Congratulations Coleman to be in such illustrious company
You guys need to offer that "Sowell man" graphic as a bumper sticker!
HR's measured, diplomatic, and professional assessment of Trump's strengths and weaknesses is that of a man who might well work constructively for or with a future Trump presidency. I think this indicates the general gives Trump pretty good odds of winning in 2024.

"Obama came in with the dream of a post-racial America"
How carefully phrased that was. Obama's deliberate actions, more often than not, worked against that dream rather than for it. His best service seems to be in normalizing assimilation, among a certain percentage (hopefully a large one) of black people in this country.

Coleman I am with you. Dr Sowell is my hero.
It seems to me we need to be talking more about equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.

Grandfather story was amazing 👏!
It's the IQ gap driving these discrepancies. IQ is the most predictive metric of future income and criminality ever devised.
Thanks for addressing approaches that could reduce the inequities of poverty and poor schools.
OMG, Coleman! Here!

Is the Bilderberg group participant Niall Ferguson going to tell us about the meeting, held in Lisbon now(18-21 of May)?
Niall asked Mr. Hughes what advice he should give his mixed-race sons about living in 2020s America.

same old rhetoric :/ what are the real long-term solutions this isn't decadence from welfare its the stagnation of a people and culture.
Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder and others have pointed out repeatedly that the poverty rate for married Black couples is similar if not lower than the rate for married white couples.
Coleman is absolutely right about the homicide increase. In Brazil, which is much more violent than the USA, violence went down during the pandemic.
Why would we commemorate George Floyd?
It was a tragedy, but ain't no one missing George Floyd!
He speaks pretty good for a black fella.
