People call him an Uncle Tom just for standing up and speaking out on what he believes in? If that isn't racial prejudice idk what is. That to me says "If you're black you better be liberal". I think Sowell's deserves his own "courage award"
Steve Lecton 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I am left but i respect this guy
@@bigwheeler2807 Let his arguments sink in. You won't be a Leftist for very long.
@@bigwheeler2807 if you respect his ideas you should look more closely at what your political party is turning into and ask yourself if you really want to identify as a leftist. I once considered myself part of the left as well, but over the course of just a few years the party has become almost unrecognizable.
"If you don't vote for me, you ain't black" - Joe Biden. Hands down most racist campaign slogan in U.S. history. Yet still many voted for him? I don't buy it for one minute. Liberals think blacks are naïve and easy to manipulate for political gain. Liberals put black candidates on a pedestal for show and treat them like show animals to create the illusion of equality of outcome. Rather than highlighting their talents, they just point out they are black. Black people are smarter than they think. I think most black people recognize this and feel they can not dissent for fear of being labeled an "Uncle Tom". In my mind this is an insult of envy and insults of envy should be worn like a badge of honor, not feared. Conservatives don't put blacks on a pedestal, but welcome them to the club as anyone else, treat them as equals and capitalize on their talents as valued members of the team. This is far more respectable.
Thomas Sowell very intelligent and drops nothing but truth every time; only a few of us know of Thomas and love him, we support him but we are not the majority that whine and complain, we fix our situations and help others to do so!!
Courtney Ellis , The welfare system destroyed the family farming also, When Regan came into office he turned corporate farm into welfare farmers giving them the edge over the independence of the family farmers who didn't want the government controlling for accepting the payments. So it destroyed people in so many ways.
Courtney Ellis So true, the government bribed the majority into the current lack of self-reliance required for prosperity, exploiting some pretty basic human weaknesses to free resources...but at such a catastrophic cost beyond money (though not immediately seen in the short term but rather the long term). It’s like a healthy eating habit, we delay gratifications most of the time and remain determined even when the results take weeks and months to unfold. The welfare is gratifying in the short-term (perhaps just barely) but absolutely destructive and reckless for the majority into the long term, seeing the overall picture. Perhaps the government made an ignorant mistake or perhaps there’s an even more sinister motive to strip as many liberties and freedoms as possible with an ever expanding welfare socialism state as the media perception seems to ever so proliferate. One of the greatest flaws of any governance seems to be an ultimate progression into totalitarian authoritarianism in due time, which also seems to be the case with welfare stripping away self-reliance of a population to make them more dependent on the authority.
Agree with your view 100%. If you do not like you current situation.... Then do something to change it, helping others along the way.
Here in Spain and Europe, Governments have made a slavery system of welfare and subsidizing people with the lack of will, destroying the excellence, the knowledge and the family. Thank God There are people like Professor Sowell. They are a light and an arrow showing the truth.
Thomas Sowell is the greatest conservative thinker of his generation. Period.
Sometimes I wish I was black so that I could make arguments like Sowell does without having to tone down the truth so that I am not labeled a racist by my classmates and professors.
Love who you are, and apreciate what your ancestors have done or you. LOVE IS NOT HATE.
I understand exactly what youre saying bro
The Life Analyst so your saying if a person is black their views must appoint to the left side? That’s racist but I bet you believe only white people can be racist
@The Life Analyst You're a troll! They are incredibly smart and articulate individuals standing up for what they believe in. If you don't agree with Larry Elders or Candice, make a case against it. BTW, whites don't prop up Candice, what a mean racist thing to say. Let me guess, you applaud CNN telling Ben Carson to get out of the way...
same man
I love how he came to the realization that socialism isn't practical after working for the government. 4:41
I had an econ professor who experienced the same thing .. they worked in the GAO (Government Accountability Office)
Definitely. I work for the government. It's absolutely awful at doing pretty much anything in an efficient way.
There's no competition and therefore no reason to improve. Tax dollars will roll in, no matter how ineffective your strategies are.
You must be a leftist.. thinking it's unusual for people to learn from their experiences.
Sowell's books re-wired my brain probably more than anyone else, correcting all the distortions and lies from my schooling and the media. Can't say enough about this man. All truth all facts all the time.
One of the most few intelligent men I've ever heard in my life. Love to Sowell.
I've been reading Sowell since I was a teenager. He used to have a commentary article in my local paper. I'd have voted for him for President if he'd ever run--which obviously never happened :( . He is, bar none, the most intelligent man I've ever encountered. He had more influence on me and my political beliefs than any other person. To this day, I'm amazed at how few people know who he is and his work. He is, IMO, Thomas Jefferson reincarnated.
Unfortunately, the way the world is set up, someone like Dr. Sowell would never become president because he would expose too many truths on a national stage. They’d take him out before he became president
In my opinion he is much more intelligent and well rounded than Jefferson ever was. Jefferson is by far my favorite President but he was extremely flawed emotionally.
This video is so underrated. This was honestly amazing
Please don’t stop making videos
Thanks man
Dr. Thomas Sowell, one of my favorite intellects, is way ahead of his time.
Within my lifetime, I have heard Sowell's voice. I first thought that he was a radical. I then analyzed his words. This man is peace maker. He wishes for each side to remember that we are Americans; not enemy's. My nanny was white. she loves me. I still love her.
A true revolutionary for the black community, I wish everyone heard his words!
Thomas Sowell is a great thinker and communicator. He sees through things very well.
Thomas Sowell wrote my college economics textbook. It was my favorite class.
that’s pretty damn cool
Thomas Sowell is inspiring and should be a national treasure imo.
Mr. Sowell SUPER GENIUS! A package of brilliance.
I just ordered “Black rednecks and White liberals.” online.....can’t wait! This book is next.
"Thomas sowell is the left's worst nightmare"
Ben Shapiro: *Am i a joke to you?*
that little boy and his tiny words dont scare nobody
@@JoaoPedro-jr8pf but his words do
he's a walking meme that doesnt actually understand history theory and yet makes ludicrously dumb claims so that other misguided and sad little boys and girls share his words on social media going like "haha omg finally someone said it" - except that it's not "finally" that someone said it; ppl have been saying dumb conservative things for as long as humanity has existed. It's only the scientific left that actually says the good, new things that will help society go forward
João Pedro fucking loser sheep. Oh my goodness we are doomed....
@@JoaoPedro-jr8pf "It's only the scientific left that actually says the good, new things that will help society go forward" ahahahahaha mkay
Keep doing this. Excellent channel and thanks for introducing me to this gentleman.
Jolly123123123 thank you very much
Nice work. Thanks for this.
That ending comment by the narrator is an excellent point! Conservatives have already won these arguments--- decades ago! (Some could make a solid case Conservatives have won these arguments centuries ago!)
The amount of information in this video was presented so crisply and clearly. Subbed and liked!
Simply fantastic! I just subscribed.
his Hoover Institute interview is excellent
definitely worth the watch
I know this is NOT the point but Sowell is soooooo attractive. He is a hottie.
I'm not gay or anything but I agree
Thank you for this. You are the man. Can you please make another Thomas Sowell video in light of today's events?
Compared to what? At what cost? What hard evidence do you have?
Too much narration and too little Sowell!
If you want more Sowell, feel free to watch my “best of Thomas Sowell” video
@@discoursetv5201 or Read the books.
@Kris Ash Geez... I don't think he was trying to bring that much negativity.. It was just a slight criticism.
@@discoursetv5201 I actually like the narration and the background music 😁
Great videos man. Very informative, straight to point. Subscribed!
That’s exactly right!! I’m so sick crying, I want to create solutions, and have an intellectual conversation about it.
More Of Mr. Sowell!
time to buy me some books
oh yeah yeah
Excellent!
I would vote for Thomas Sowell as president in a heartbeat.
This aged well
The communist must watch this
I refer to this man often. Great to listen to.
I want to see Thomas sowell debate roland martin 😂
hell yeah
I love this man❤️
EXCELLENT Video - I'll buy the book
JR
I didn’t know he studied under Milton Friedman. He also studied under George Stigler. Both are Nobel Prize winners. That right there shows just how smart and well educated he is. Interestingly enough, he dropped out of high school and joined the Marines. Then later went on to graduate Magna Cum Laude from Harvard, get a Masters from Columbia and a PhD from the University of Chicago. This is a brilliant man. I’m going to read one of his many books now after watching this video. I feel like this man should get more recognition in the present day than he does. He has written upwards of like 20 books. We’ve studied about Friedman and Stigler in every accounting and economics class I’ve taken.
I’d recommend either basic economics or discrimination and disparities as a good introduction to his philosophy. It really doesn’t matter though, all of his books are excellent
Discourse TV Thank you! I will pick both of those up. Really enjoyed your insights in this video!
Great wisdom we all need to practice
As a left leaning citizen, I completely agree with him, although not all leftists are aligned with the viewpoint he presents (just the ones the media presents the most)
Well done, Sowell.
Why is not more popular
Thomas Sowell is a National Treasure.
Basic truth and intelligence... this is the kind of people that needs to be in higher positions in our and other governments...not the clowns that make up the DemocRATS..!!
This was awesome
Left is the new right.
The left has always been left.
The opposite of right is wrong. The left is wrong.
One of the biggest issues in this world is that people don't think for themselves, as you stated. People are trained to thought by political means and how this world wants them to.
Extremely intelligent man
So much video of the man speaking, I wish I could hear "him" instead of the poster. At least I can read a quote of his under the name of the channel.
“I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.”
- Booker T. Washington, My Larger Education... (1911)
1:46 the guy on the right looks like he is about to kill someone.
I think Candace Owens has listened intently to what this man had to say
Yeah and she comes off as arrogant that's why most people don't like her
This Guy is amazing
I love Thomas Sowell.
It’s concerning when you consider that the post office is the most efficient branch of the federal government. Then taking into consideration the fact that it’s one of many mandated by the constitution
Sowell is truly inspiring.
What a logical, sensible gentleman.
Calling this man any disparaging comments shows a lack of decency, and intellect.
Tom Sowell changed my life. Made me less angry and ignorant. He's a Godsend.
Blacks should be PROUD of Thomas Sowell. An intellectual BEAST! And yet, they never mention him in any of their arguments!
Your voice so calming I fell asleep... I'm sorry
This video is so creepy, I guess to make Mr. Sowell seem more intellectually intimidating but it’s just so dramatic that it’s making me laugh. Gotta love Thomas Sowell!
Question: Is the right truly better than the left? Why is that the left constantly proves to be always wrong? The left conforms your way of thinking while the right wants you to think. Has It truly been endorsed as balanced when right shows more promise?
Imagine being called an Uncle Tom for telling black people they can do better...
I'm the exact 5,000th like what the hell? How did that happen where it would be that exact number and how is that number not higher
This video does not get enough credit
and I hope you see this:
Just a friendly suggestion to propel this video to the level it deserves; I think you should make the thumbnail say something like "got em" or just something short and potent like that the thumbnail text that says "Thomas Sowell vs the left" makes it sound like it's going to be hard to follow yk. Keep it up 👍
Thanks a lot. You might like my new commentary channel

i really like to think that in a perfect world we’d all be libertarians. such a simple, coherent, logical philosophy on stateship
I used to know Thomas SoWell
Thomas wrote this book sowell
Can we all just agree in the middle? :( both sides have valid points, that's kind of how the system works, let's work together and get the best of both worlds yk? Let's stop demonizing the other side (this goes for both the left and the right) and start seeing each other as people.
Mindsmash guy's voice
What about Ben Shapiro
Nin. Nice👍
Whats with the creepy music and conspiracy theory like approach?
It wasn't my intention to be creepy haha, I just wanted a little dramatic effect to make the content more interesting
@@discoursetv5201 I like the music in the background
This brother common sense is the chief influence of his reasoning
*watches 5 minutes of video* *pulls up amazon* buys Sowell’s books*
Me sitting in my chair: Ooooo prepare to get educated by the Tommy boi himself with facts
I've never even heard of him?...
The eery soundtrack keeps me watching to the end, in wait of a reveal, that this Thomas is in fact a demon.
It’s sad that we have very few black intellectuals, like Thomas Sowell.
ppl on welfare becoming dependent on the "handouts"? so it's not on their imperative to survive (which is constantly threatened by society) that they are dependent? i wanna see the numbers
I wonder if this is favoritism...
Even if I disagree with Sowell, I respect how deeply he thinks about things, even if he's come to different conclusions than I have. I dislike that this video treats the left as a monolith, however: The left is full of infighting and different ideological factions. A social democrat, a marxist, and an anarchist are all on the left, but would fiercely debate and disagree with each other. America and the devoloped countries also have "Social Liberals", which seem to be more interested in cultural virtue signalling rather than traditionally left concerns, so I call America's "left" pseudo-left.
In the case of USA I think the liberals with good intentions and due to the open nature of the ideology embraced the left and the left's radical parts ate it and the liberals.
Good video my man but the music and mood is so vibe killing never seen any of your other videos but if they’re similar in vibe you should try more upbeat. Liked the video tho just a little constructive criticism.
He’s paid by the Hoover Institute. If you understand what the Hoover Institute then you understand what he’s really about. Just follow the money...
The major mistake of this video is making the assumption that people are driven by facts. If facts were the main way to change ideology there would be no left. “Facts don’t care about your feelings” is a true sentiment, but it doesn’t win over people because the average person isn’t thinking critically, but emotionally. The right needs to do more to institute emotional arguments into our discourses because the facts certainly aren’t cutting it right now
2:02
People will go though life and know who Cardi B is but not know who Thomas Sowell is and that in a nutshell is part of the problem with black American culture
AHHHHH AHHHA OH MY GOD AHHHHHH!!!!!
This is the same kid who ENJOYS doing book reviews in 5th grade
I was selling knives in 5th grade
And people like u
I truly believe racism wouldn’t be a thing if we release the tension and stop talking about it because we’ll for example your teacher gets mad at you for correcting them and gets loud as you respond with “are you mad because I’m right and your wrong” you continue to argue and the argument gets louder and Lourdes and eventually the security guard escorts you out of the classroom and you get suspended all of that happened because the student said “your mad because I’m right and your wrong” if he would’ve apologized and kept quiet none of this would have happened
I get what you're saying, but terrible example. The teacher IS wrong and should not object to being corrected. I'd hope that the situation would eventually result in one less teacher at the school lol.
So what’s ur name and when are u running for president.
I'm sorry...too much narration and not enough listening to the person I came here to listen to.
Why did you stylize this vid like your reading a creepypasta lol
cause it's my artistic liberty to do so
I am an Indian living in Ireland and I feel sad that black community don’t pay attention to this man.
I am a Scotsman living in New Zealand and I agree with you.
Hey! If you are seeing this, I just wanted to let you know that Jesus loves you! He loves you so much that He died on the cross for your sins and rose from the dead so that you could be saved from sin and the wrath of God! This is the Gospel; you can be saved from God’s wrath and hell if you believe and trust in Jesus! God Bless you all!
