I've been a huge fan of Tomas Sowell for about 20 years now. As a Native American I get a lot of hate when I tell people that I refuse to be angry at people for things their ancestors may, or may not, have done to my ancestors. It just seems a bit disingenuous to tell someone that I'm owed something from them for things they took no part in.
sowell is trying to white wash slavery and jim crow. It has nothing to do with being angry - I am 65 years old I witnessed jim crow - it was not something to dismiss by claiming other cultures had slaves
Because it's not about Reparations... It's about recruiting the next generation to hate white people. That they are disadvantage for the color they are..As envy and hate are two of the most powerful emotions.. That can cause people to murder, cheat, loot, steal etc...I was one of them. Till God said enough. Let me show you the truth about human nature...
"Equip yourself with skills that people are willing to pay for" Excellent advice for success regardless of race, gender, childhood anything else that seems to limit human potential.
when ever someone uses the word left or right in argument it is fallacy called poisoning the well. they are trying to illicit an emotional response . an intelligent person or educator would not do that
@@DCrypt1 I have N IQ of 173 - I watched all of his videos the buy is bulllshit artist - there no such thing as the right or the left- they are just words used to poison the well and illicit an emotional response just like your replied proved - he made you react emotionally to the word left - I am too smart to fall for these tactics
As a Brazilian, from African, Portuguese, Spanish, German and Indigenous ancestry, if government implemented that here I would have to take money from one pocket and pay myself to another. Since I don't have money I would be in debt with myself 😂
And tomorrow you would have to take that money and pay someone in your family and they would pay you back the next day. I have been saying this for decades, biracial/mutiracial/multiethnic populations would effectively be paying thier own families and themselves. The idea is just insane.
@@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059 it is an American concept, based in the distorted view of slavery. Logic has nothing to do with it, that is why logical arguments don't work against this distorted view.
@@asaventurasderobson I know that. I am just saying, how awkward would it be to have to pay your spouse (and them you) for something neither of you did? Then you just go and fix dinner for the kids.
@@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059 exactly. Some people don't care about the consequences. They just care that the plans "sounds good" and that they are on the "side of the Angels" as Tomas Sowells says.
I'd like for you to pay me reparations for your evil ancestors destroying the peaceful farming settlement formed by Norse war refugees in Vinland North America. I will only accept 10x 30% off pizza coupons and not a penny less otherwise balance will never be restored.
If you give reparations to people that have no clue how to manage money, then they will be broke in less than a year. They will be back with their hand out wanting more. My wife had a friend that took her "Covid money" and bought a big screen TV and a new purse. One month later she couldn't pay her car payment.
this is not about reparations - reparations will never happen it is too complicated to do. the problem is sowell is using his platform to white wash the history of slavery and jim crow in the US .the guy is sociopath
It would double the bitterness. If someone who looked like me killed your wife and you demanded compensation from me, I would be outraged if I was forced to pay and you wouldn't feel like the compensation was enough, because a human life is priceless. I don't know the solution, but I'm sure that ain't it.
Thomas Sowell is a economist an historian .. ❤but has the lived experience. At 92 raised in Harlem he has the creds. I love this man . We all can learn from him
There’s a reason Trevor Noah was fired and lost his show. He’s a divider of people and an instigator of anger. Thomas Sowell is an educator and an inspiration.
@@jeffmacy-c9r Where is your proof that he was going to get fired if he didn’t quite? Because back when I was a Democrat, I loved Trevor Noah. Still like him today to be honest. I think he was pretty popular on that show.
They wouldn’t put him on because he’s a Conservative which is very, very sad for many, especially children who’ve missed out on the benefits of his genius. Some of his books should be required reading in our schools. Definitely one of the greatest minds of our time.
@@rippog1 Yes, If I’m not mistaken he was even a Marxist for a short period 😱 I find it very interesting to me that Liberals switch to being Conservative often but it’s very rare for a Conservative to become a Liberal.
The biggest problem I have is the perpetuated idea that a celebrity can be a pundit, an expert of any sort on issues, and more so than a researcher whose life work is said issue. We do this with science, history, culture, and social issues. It's maddening.
I'm white. My family came from poverty. My dad's family lived in trailers in the woods in Kentucky. He worked multiple jobs at once to give his 4 sons a chance, while my mom worked 3rd shift at a hospital so they could split time for care for us. Trevor Noah can stick it...
Ya, I remember Trevor going to visit his grandma in South Africa and couldn't HELP but think, "Dammmmn, this lady lives like in the poorest looking house. WHY isn't Trevor throwing some that loot at his own family???" And therin lies an even bigger problem that Sowell addressed in another segment I saw..... The last generation of blacks owned more land than this generation of blacks does because they hadnt fully adopted the redneck culture yet. They were more likely to lean on each other, help each other, and that was due to the tribal heritage they came from. There were once vastly sucessful black areas in America, even WITH segregation looming over their heads. They wore suits, dressed well, and were community orientated. And then in MY generation, along came the likes of Ice Cube, NWA, all the gangster "out for me" mentallities. ("Gonna bust a cap in your arse stuff"). And NOW we got saggy pants momma's boys who feel entitled. Often like momma. Because rarely is a DAD is around to slap that silly mentality out their heads these days and say "Pull up your pants, get out there, and work hard like I am!" Being white, that seems to be going on in our families too with no DAD around, due to family courts. My own son was stripped out my life. I got 6 weeks visitation in 18 years just cuz mom kept moving and hated me so it was 125 court dates in 5 years. So I let go after 5 years trying fairly JUST to avoid killing this woman for stealing my heritage away. I tried again, and again over next 19 years. The boy was brainwashed in a similar manner. He mocked me on speaker phone. Didnt wanna come in his teens. He is now 23 and a total punk society will have to deal with sad to say. (Does this sound familiar to what black families are getting now? I say yes.)
As a black conservative libertarian... I would've left Kentucky for a better economy elsewhere. Some folks vote based on their emotions while others practice the doctrine. 🤷🏽 No difference between the slums in the inner cities vs. trailer parks in the south . One group is proud .. the other is angry...broke ..voting based on race similarities . Read Dr. Sowells books .
@@U.S.Dept.ofHoeflation I'm a fan of Dr. Sowell, and my parents did leave Kentucky when I was young to bring us to a different state to give us opportunity. It's easy to just say "leave", though, and not always practical. I would love to now leave the blue state he brought us too then, but we have roots and infrastructure and I can't move everyone. My point about Trevor Noah's racial framework stands.
The one thing that stood out to me more than anything Sowell said was "Equip yourself with skills people are willing to pay for". Many folks are going to college and getting degrees and STILL are looking for employment. A degree doesnt mean a job is waiting for you and even if one is it doesnt mean you will make enough to survive.
Sowell is a MUST read. He does care, more than most. He looks at the problem with fearlessness and fierce honesty. To dismiss him is willful ignorance.
My grandparents lived through 20 years of dictatorship, my grandmother had to leave school at 8 years old to work in a farm for food stamps (rations) as a pay and my grandfather spent years in a labour camp in a different country. They never complained, my family never complained, I don't get to complain either. Life is hard, we have to work and be accountable for our choices.
The Black couples statistic was interesting. Stay together, work hard together, love each other and you will succeed financially and live well. Works with all races.
You're right! I work with and know many white guys ( I'm white) who are divorced, have kids with one or even 2 different women, living with a different woman (in her house) and they own almost nothing. Why? They are paying child support, have drinking drug or gambling problems, and their kids often want nothing to do with them. It's not race, it's behavior.
Im not sure actually. I believe the Florida shooter from a few years ago came from a family where one or both parents had died. The other shooters i couldnt say. However i wasnt really talking about the parents of school shooters.
Yes. Here we are looking at the horizon of a post-racial country and he's not even been given a microphone when he is the one who can best lead us forward.
I read a book when I was in my late 20's, called "Learned Helplessness", by Martin Seligman. Marty was a prominent professor at Penn ( or Penn State - not sure). I read the entire book diligently and learned a lot about how a person learns that his situation is controlled by his own mindset and not his environment. That book, and a couple of others, were given to me by my math/science teacher while in prison in 1986. She was studying for her Masters Degree and wanted me to be the subject of her thesis. I haven't been able to confirm but I assume that she thought I was different from the average convict. The prison personnel turned her down over "privacy" issues. I learned so much that it got me out of prison for good and helped me to stay married for 35 years and raise 3 children. Brother, you are wise beyond your years and I truly appreciate your podcasts!! Jamel, you are amazing and a true brother to mankind!!
Congratulations on your wisdom acquired. I admire your ability to speak of hard times and share the knowledge we all posses the ability to steer our vessel in the direction that enhances us.
Well we BETTER REPAIR FAST because black lives are EXECUTING WHITE PEOPLE for AWHILE NOW over this LIE COMING FROM BLACK RACISTS IN USA. SMH. They just killed ANOTHER 5 WHITES in one day. They're MURDERING THEM OVER THIS LIE. SMH
This country needs far more people like you. I come from an immigrant family that went through hell during and after WWII. My family managed to make it to this country because my father fell in love with the American solders. He was a 15 year old in a British POW camp. When the war ended, the British wanted to release him, but at that point he was thought to be orphaned and the Americans took him in. He was astonished at how the American culture treated foreigners and promised himself that he would, some day, become an American citizen. Well, he picked up his young family in the early 50’s, put us on a ship, and headed for America. It was extremely difficult in the beginning because nobody spoke English, but there were opportunities all over if you were willing to start at the very bottom of the food chain. Until his dying days and his mind had faded, he continued singing a German song praising the virtues of Americans. If this isn’t the land of opportunity, the answer is to find someplace more suitable. There is a reason immigrants from all nations, races, and religions are clamoring to get here. They would give anything to trade places with someone who is unhappy here. You need to get your message out! This country needs to heal and prosper again. It is still the greatest country in the world for anybody willing to work for it.
Does america heal and say forget the money u owe us if u get caught for tax invasion, or when u commit a crime do they heal? Look I am a strong believer of "consequence".. when u do something wrong you have to pay for your actions period... if you tormented ppl like that doing things as grievous as lynching a human being for doing nothing? Come on.. the fact you are hesitant to pay for lynching ppl n having them live in that fear n trauma for so long should get them paid n your hesitation shows a lack of remorse... not paying decendants of those despicable crimes is mind boggling to me... we should stop using the word slavery when it comes to blacks, just use the word terror, savaging.. slavery makes it seem like a basic crime... I can tolerate slavery n don't think you should pay any reparations for that.. but factor in the fact you were raping n lynching blacks.. now I'd like to hear someone speak after that.. n if u do with your desensitized ass, then u really need to examine yourself
@@kapirk2244 It is something that has been ingrained in my siblings our entire lives and I have ingrained this in our 3 children. My family is aging out, but before I lay down my head for the last time I will work to help my children to pass it along to my 6 grandchildren. It is far too important to the future America they will be raising my future generations in. It is something that weighs heavily on me. I hope to see things turn around before that day comes. This country is the only one in the world with such a wonderful depth in diversity. This is it’s greatest strength and should not be used to break it apart. “Divide and conquer” has been a strategy used by the powerful for countless centuries and those that do not recognize it being applied to themselves today have to be shown the light. Those that do recognize it need to stand up and cast that light onto the blind. Thank you for your kind words! 🙏🙏🙏
Jamel- Jamal, l am deeply impressed with you and your show!!! I am a plain white 77 yo woman who taught on an Indian Reservation in the northwest. All most all of the program and the concerns it discusses apply to Native Americans. I also relate to it because I had parents who taught their children that they wouldn’t be able to succeed since they’d never be enough. I think believing you’ll never be enough underlies the struggle your show discussed. Sincere gratitude for your work and who you are.
I really appreciate you bringing awareness of Thomas Sowell to your audience. Many probably would have never heard about him if it weren't for this series. Kudos.
My friend, people are so busy yelling, that they can’t hear anything but themselves yell. We are all standing on mostly common ground NOW, but we all only look at whatever heights we have had to conquer. There are bad people out there, their political party doesn’t matter because they are just self serving idiots that have been around for decades. The truth is that they aren’t that important, that we should ALL just ignore their noise and take care of each other and of ourselves. We really need to get along and love one another. The world is a big place. There is plenty of everything out there for all of us. Don’t be greedy and expect a free ride. Whenever it’s “free”, it’s too damn expensive. Thanks as always Jamal for putting up great stuff!❤
My family is european and american indian. How many attrocities were committed upon the indian people of this nation? If someone offered me reperations I would refuse them for one simple reason, I refuse to take payment for the suffering of someone else. Their part of my bloodline, but their story is their own. On a side topic, The dogma of each political party is so identifiable that everything does become a political debate. Everytime you cast your vote for something or someone, remember that you're morally responsible for the results of that vote.
🙄🙄Nice Try. ➡➡After World War II, the Indian Claims Commission paid a total of $1.3 billion in reparations to Native Americans Apr 30, 2021 - Indian Affairs Begins Disbursement of $900 Million in American Rescue Plan Funding to Tribes Across Indian Country. ➡➡September 28, 2016 The Department of the Interior and the United States Attorney General announced this week that the federal government will pay 17 native American tribes $492 million, settling claims that the government mismanaged tribal resources for years. ➡➡Feb 4, 2019 The resolution approved by the Tribal Council in 2016 divided the Minors Fund payments into blocks. Starting in June 2017, the EBCI began releasing $25,000 to individuals when they turned 18, another $25,000 when they turned 21, and the remainder of the fund when they turned 25. ➡➡Nov 30, 2022 Two tribes in Alaska and one in Washington state are each getting $25 million to help their ongoing efforts to relocate homes, schools, airports, water-supply wells and other infrastructure, the Biden administration announced.
I think personal reparations are just greed, I’d happily take the $ for my people and other natives who struggle under the decisions of negligent leaders and systemic barriers we need to overcome.
I really appreciate your open mindedness! Our species has created a lot of atrocities against its people. It’s very sad, however, when people enslave themselves to victimhood
I respect the fact that you are willing to listen to this and learn. I have learned a lot over the last few years from listening to different people online and in person. I wish more people were open minded and reasonable like yourself. I am learning everyday and God knows I am ignorant in a lot of areas lol. But I enjoy learning and hearing different arguments. I think we need to have more political discussion and debate. There's nothing wrong with having a different viewpoint right or left as long as you arent violent and can have a reasonable discussion.
Wow, very good review and post Sir! I listen to Mr. Sowell all the time. Glad you discovered him too! I’m was a lil guy from Louisiana born in 1956, who was never supposed to amount to much. In 2023, I’ve been retired for 26 years as a 23 year active duty Air Force as C-5 Instructor Flight Engineer. I guest speak on aviation, and entrepreneurship, at areas high schools, and a college, own my own apparel & sign business. THIS is MY ‘reparations’ to MYSELF! God Bless America!🇺🇸
He sounds like a Regan era conservative mouthpiece. He give a lot of percentages, numbers and figures but cites no actual studies that can be verified to back up his claims. Be wary of people who do that. People who prove points can back them up with actual facts. Not because they say so. Want to impress me? Do that. Otherwise you're just talking shit and have an obvious agenda.
Thank you for this video. I'm 66 years old. I grew up during the civil rights movement. I'm trying to learn about what's the hold up with the black community. I didn't hear of Thomas Sowel. Until a couple of days ago. I can't disagree with anything I've heard him say. This man has had to be censored. What he is saying applys to everyone. You are the only one holding you back. I've been told I couldn't do things.I used that to motivate me. This is a country that has basically a signed agreement between the government to the people That they are guaranteed certain rights as citizens. The construction and the bill of rights. It is our job as citizens to ensure those rights are upheld for every other citizen. What watching your videos and other black Americans videos I see You and the others are doing the right thing. Motivating your people to take advantage of the opportunities this country has to offer Thomas Sowel got it right when he said equipe yourself with the skills that people are willing to pay for.I'm going to show this video to my niece and her husband. What Thomas Sowel says everyone needs to hear. I followed politics since JFK was assinated.Why I never heard of Thomas Sowel can only be attributed to is that his message to have have been blocked by Someone or entity. His message could and should have helped the black community lift themselves up 40 years ago. What I have to say is keep doing what you're doing. Get the message out there. Keep motivating your people. We all want the same thing. A roof over our heads,pay our bills feed out families and still have money left over. How much money left over is up to an individuals desites.
I find you very willing to learn and I find it refreshing. Being insightful isn’t prevalent in this country anymore. Thomas sowell is highly intelligent and very good source of information.
The thing with indentured servitude is many ended up dying before they paid off their freedom. It wasn't a 5 year car loan like Trevor brushes it off as.
The phrase kidnapping did not exist until the 1700s. When a string of children disappearances happen in London. Child indentured servants were a big thing and parents would sell off their kids to pay off debts if they had no choice. Since you only needed verbal confirmation to sign a contract in front of a magistrate, it was easy to abduct kids, pretend to be their uncle, and sell them off to wealthy nobles. Noah plays it off too much because it doesn't fit the narrative of the writers in his back room.
True. And after my ancestors did get out of endentured servitude they toiled in the coal mines because nobody would hire them. I'm not comparing atrocities, that's Trevor's gig. I'm just saying
Jamel, AKA Jamal, I started watching your channel when you did music reactions. That was a few years ago. Whether you know it or not my friend you may not be 'right' but you are by your actions a conservative. You took UA-cam (a tool) a made something of it. You are in every sense an entrepreneur! What you are doing, what you have done is something every black man (or woman) in America can do if they want to. There are no legal obstacles in the way of anyone who wants to move forward. Thank you, God bless you, keep going!
Well yeah in the 70's BLACK LIVES removed REAL HISTORY AND insert CRT OF LIES. They created FALSE MYTH which is in DEMOCRAT SCHOOLS. They removed PROPER english and INSERTED BLACK ENGLISH AKA WHITE SOUTHERNER ENGLISH FROM THE WHITE SLAVES IN USA WHO USED WHITES ONLY BATHROOMS, TO BLACK OWNERS AND BREEDERS WHO HUNG OUR PEOPLE. This is the HISTORY BLACK RACE HUSTLERS DO NOT WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW or the WHITES. BOTH RACES ARE EQUAL DOWN TO TONY TIMPA AKA GEORGE FLOYD BUT WHITE. They're NEVER going to give REPARATIONS and they're LYING to BLACK LIVES AND WHITES. The 1st usa slave owner and breeder IS BLACK, NOT WHITE BUT HE OWNED A LOT OF WHITE SLAVES IN USA.
NOBODY OWES YOU A DAMN THING. IF YOU WANT SOMETHING, WORK FOR IT. That's a direct quote from my grandfather. A Mohawk Indian who was put into indentured slavery when he was 5 years old and his mother died of smallpox. He was sent to the notorious abusive Mohawk residential school in Brandon where terrible things happened. But he took the skills he learned and worked hard to make money and buy a farm. His 7 children echoed this exact doctrine and became successful.... And I was told the same thing and excelled at university along with my siblings. Go back a few hundred years and only a few people held the wealth and power.... A few billion people would need reparations. Today's society provides complete fairness to everyone.... If you're poor.... Work harder. My mothers family couldn't afford shoes for her.... Dirt poor. So she became the top student and got scholarships. A feeling of Entitlement.... It's really the worst thing that will stand in the way of true success and honor. Sorry... I'm an old first nations man.... This is what I observed... And so far it's worked.
Trevor Sowell (the e is silent) is one of the most highly regarded in his field in America today. However, because he tells the truth and journalists and media cannot come back at him, I believe he has been deplatformed. When I first came across him, it was pure joy to hear him speak such truths, and now I find it pure joy again, to find someone who accepts these truths. I have watched a few of your videos and wish you well in your endeavours. This comes from a retired white lady in Tasmania, with love, and I would like to call you - brother. 🌅
22:10 is a great point, i think he's saying if you think you're a victim all the time, and no matter what you do the system will be against you based on a characteristic, then you will never even try which then leads to more problems down the line.
That's called gathering sources or research. Surveys can be repeated until you get the results you want. All sides twist the statistics. But, just a little question, do you trust the uniform crime report the fbi tracks and tabulates every year?
@@wuxin5847 I've read large swaths of critique of Sowell, and not found them very compelling, though some valid points are made. Do you have a favorite I can look at? Not looking to wantonly disrespect you like you did to me, but always open to new information.
@@AnthonyFransella I critiqued all his talks my self . I do not rely on others to form my thoughts. first he claims that slavery in other cultures was not taught in schools- I am 65 years old I lived and witnessed jim crow for my self- and I learned about slavery in other times and cultures in school so right there he already told a lie . then he claims that welfare is used hold down black people while not mentioning that majority of people on welfare are white that is a contradiction to what he is trying to prove about welfare holding down black people I will continue my critique in my next reply
@@AnthonyFransella continued form previous post. then he claims that the do called "left" is accusing society of holding black people down - in another time he says that cornell univ is making the courses to hard to hold black people down - by doing that he is admitting that the system is holding black people - which he claims the so called "left" is lying about = to be continued
My parents are Mexican and speak almost no English. They had dirt when they came here. They worked hard and made it. They Own 2 homes that are paid off. Put me and siblings through college without borrowing money. We are all doing really well. Our kids will do even better. What advantages did my parents have that African Americans don't?
So.....because you don’t agree with Trevor Noah his opinions are not valid or less than? I don’t agree with TS but I respect his right to his opinions and his ability to express himself. That’s the problem with certain people in this country right now. If my opinions are different from yours it seems you would accuse me of lack of intelligence. For me I would want to have a conversation with you and hopefully find some common ground. If that doesn’t happen at least we had an honest and interesting conversation. It’s shameful that because TN doesn’t agree with TS you find him lacking. Shocking.....
@@kellifranklin9872 what did Thomas Sowell say you don't you agree with. Seams to me he's not expressing feelings but facts. Your agreement is not needed for it to be true. Unless you see yourself as a victim, and looking for justification.
Crack on Karen, Thomas Sowell doesn't deal in opinions but facts. He experienced Jim Crow personally and has educated himself and others to a high level with facts. Trevor Noah is a comedian from a different continent. His opinions are not valid because they are wrong not because I or anyone else doesn't agree. That's how facts work. Imagine not knowing how facts work. Shocking.
@@gavinwilson2071 You absolutely proved my point. Your very first instinct was to call me a name AGAIN because I don’t agree with you. Opinions are just that-opinions. His opinions aren’t no less wrong than yours. You’re saying he’s wrong for having a different opinion than you do. What he said about inequality about interest rates and housing was actually fact. Especially after WW2. That can be found with a simple google search will. What this heavily edited video doesn’t show is that Trevor was having a QandA with his audience and the subject of reparations came up. He was giving his opinions based on his experience with apartheid in South Africa. He grew up during apartheid. Because he was biracial his family had to go into hiding. He lost his home and he lost family members during that terrible time in their history. He couldn’t even go to school. There’s a chance he could have been killed. Just for being biracial. Sowell talks in opinions more than he does in facts. He’s been debunked by serial and actual scholars over some of his “facts.” You and the other people her calling me names and accusing me of being a victim when I was hoping for an honest and respectful responsible conversation. You absolutely are the shining example of why there’s so much hate and divisiveness in this country. You would rather personally attack someone rather than understand an opposing view on something. In the words of someone I admire I will try to always go high while folks like you always go low. Have a nice day.
Good message today , I believe you can do anything you put your mind to, I do believe there is still a lot of racism out there, people are ignorant or believe what they are told growing up. I'm a 63 Year old white guy that loves your channel, you make me laugh and feel good. When I was a kid around 9 or 10 I wanted to be Michael Jackson because I loved the way the Jackson 5 performed , I used to pretend I was him.ive always tried not being a racist and to love everyone the same, I grew up with a very prejudice father and that always made me angry and embarrassed, I try to pass on my ways of thinking to my kids. Looking forward to more videos keep up the good work. P.S could you possibly review the Cowsills hair video I think you would get a kick out of it.
I don't understand why more people don't know about Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter Williams. It's astounding that I've been following these men for more than 25 years and they are not better known. These two men, one the student of the other, are insightful from any perspective.
It seems to me that everyone today wants to play the victim and not take personal responsibility for their actions. Nothing comes easy. All one has to do is take the right step in the correct direction. Persevere.
What I got from this is that people enslave their own minds by what they choose to believe. What you believe affects your life profoundly. If you want something to read, Jamel try: As a Man Thinketh by James Allen. It's only 32 pages but I read it when I was young and gave it to my stepson when he became an adult. Thank you for these videos. I also like to hear both sides of a conversation without someone's emotions or beliefs interfering with the actual truth.
love thomas sowell. he has absolute piles of facts at his fingertips. he'd done lots with economics and can just roll figures off without a second thought. and all these facts and figures simply don't care in the least about your feelings/emotions. thomas sowell, every time i've seen him, has always been very chill and laid back, and has always listened politely to an interviewer or whhoever he's been talking to. i don't know about noah, but i seriously doubt that sowell'd be interrupting.
SOMEONE needs to pull up on them all and RELEASE THEIR LOVE because BLACK LIVES OWE US A LOT of bodies. They been MURDERING WHITES over this. everything in USA is DEMOCRAT RAN MEDIA AND SITES. We BEEN TRYING to educate black lives but they REFUSE to get a PROPER education.
@@kylaarmstrong-benjamin8066 I don’t think you know what race hustler means. It’s someone who tells racial minorities they are victims who need a savior, then proclaims to be the savior. Candace tells the same people they are NOT victims.
You are an awesome man, I appreciate you putting out these type videos. I interpreted the subjects and points exactly as you did. Thank you for sincerely considering all these challenging points of view and giving us your open thoughts and impressions. Please keep doing what you're doing 👍
I just found your channel and It’s so refreshing to hear somebody with your background be so open. I am a middle class white dude from Chicago-land. While I grew up in the burbs, I spent most of my 20’s in the city. To date, it’s the most segregated place I have ever seen. There is a literal line(street) you cross on Ashland Ave that changes over to black businesses, black housing, even the billboards change. It’s crazy. In culinary school one of my best buds was a black guy from Englewood(where most of Chicago’s murders happen, or used to). I took an opportunity to go to his home for a bbq with his family. The ride in was the sketchiest experience I’ve ever had to date. It’s hard to believe conditions like that exist inside the US. His home was as nice as mine, but just a couple blocks from hell. When I walked in, the music literally stopped and everyone stared at me. While it was awkward at first, the conversations I got to have changed my life. I got to hear first hand how poor mindsets keep you poor, how thinking you’re a victim makes you one. Best of all, it was a 17 year old kid who laid it out for me. Truly wise beyond his years. Now I live off grid in Alabama. Couldn’t be further from how I came up. While there are some stereotypes about the South which are true, most of what most people think simply isn’t true. I’ve never met more people that would help you out no matter how you look than I have here. If only humans could just learn how to listen and converse again, we might just stop all this insanity. Sometimes I feel hopeless, but then I find channels like this and I remember Love is what will set us free.
Trevor Noah isn't having a debate with Thomas Sowell here. In fact, I have a feeling Noah would get his clock kicked if he had to go head to head with Sowell. Sowell spews facts from years of compiling research.
@@kellifranklin9872 it’s a piece cut to forward a political agenda. Dr. Sowell was asked why he’s NO LONGER a Marxist and he replied “facts”. Research Dr. Carol Swain, she’s an American success story.
@@kellifranklin9872 You have issues if you think by me saying Trevor Noah will get his clock cleaned by Thomas Sowell is somehow demeaning, you just don't get how smart TS is. He's street smart, book smart, and older and wiser. Damn right Thomas would kick his ass!
WE ALL NEED to suggest that to ALL THESE shows NOW. Black lives do NOT know about these people and THEY'RE EXECUTING WHITE PEOPLE over THEIR LIES about REAL HISTORY. Black lives did this. NOT WHITES.
Thomas Sowell has been speaking these truth's for decades. I find it rewarding, so many are finally able to move past the Hive mind to simply listen to his perspective. Trevor Noah hasn't any experience in the these American /Black American experiences he speaks on. They are fed to him, tied to his income.
Mr. Sowell started out as a Marxist and a leftist extremist. He changed his philosophy because he educated himself deeper in the reality of the worlds history. I see the same spark in your eyes brother. Keep learning and keep growing as a man. I am proud of you for how far you have come already.
@@ChrisAthanasNot worth the time, chrisathanas. The "most people know this" 🐂... tells you all you need to know. It would be like arguing with a 'Flat-Earther'...
I appreciate the editing, too. It doesn’t sound like anything is being taken out of context. Each speaker is allowed to complete their complete thought before the other comes in. Really well thought out.
I’ve seen both of these men comment on this topic a lot. I feel like with Thomas Sowell what he’s saying is based more on fact, wisdom and historical accuracy whereas Trevor Noah is more based on feelings and emotion, some of his take is fact but it’s more emotion than fact. I don’t feel like Trevor knows his history nearly as well as Thomas does.
@@joelspaulding5964 A lot of celebrities are that way. They think they know everything and use their platform to voice it. Thomas is highly educated and an economist. He’s also with the Hoover Institution which is widely known for being highly regarded and others like Victor Davis Hanson and John Yoo like Sowell are highly respected scholars.
He clearly doesn't because BLACK LIVES REMOVED IN THE 70'S ALL WHITE HISTORY from CITIES. The 1ST USA SLAVE OWNER AND BREEDER IS BLACK. Blacks ASSUMED he's white because to blacks today. IT SOUNDS WHITE. Now black ppl are EXECUTING A LOT of whites IN USA now.
If California which wasn’t a slave state is going to hand out reparations I am going to identify as a black man that lives in California. Even thought I’m a white man ( very tanned because I’ve been in the Bahamas the past couple weeks) and live in Massachusetts. Seeing now you can identify as anything you want and can’t be questioned By the way the first slave owner here was black named Anthony Johnson.
You don't have to identify. BLACK LIVES OWNED WHITE SLAVES. This is why WHITES ONLY was on the BATHROOM doors for WHITE SLAVES IN USA. Then black lives in the 70's got greedy and INTENTIONALLY removed ALL WHITE HISTORY from books, unless it's bad. THEN THEY STILL LIE. Blacks were CRUEL to whits people. The WHITE SLAVE TRADE exists also. BLACK CULTURE IS WHITE CULTURE FROM SOUTHERN WHITES who was SLAVES IN USA to BOTH RACES.
It is Thomas Sowell like 'soul' pronounced. Dude is an American legend one of the smartest men ever. Blacks were the not only slaves, how about my Irish family who came to America during the famine? All kinds were slaves & treated horribly. Most blacks were sold by African blacks to jewish slave ship owners who then would sell around the world.
When the victim mentality takes root it’s difficult to sway ppl away from that, especially when MSM works to reinforce those backward beliefs. Remaining stagnant because you believe in lies is what truly holds ppl down.
I'm of Eastern European Jewish ancestry. 6 million of my people were murdered and tortured by the Nazis. Reparations were paid to survivors who had to make legitimate legal claims, but I am not the one who deserves it, it was my ancestors who managed to survive, children who were orphaned, and those who claimed lost property and homes. I, who was born three or four generations later, don't deserve it. It's a very touchy subject, but I don't know that handing out millions to anyone who happens to be Black, or any other color, who may not have had any relatives that were slaves, is going to help a lot. If we are taking that route, look what we did to the Japanese in California by imprisoning them in the desert with little shelter or food. No one is suggesting those families should get reparations, and to my knowledge, they aren't even asking, but in theory, they would deserve it just as much. I see both sides of the argument the Sowell and Noah are making, but there are a lot more people who would deserve reparations, but they aren't asking for it, and no on is offering it. Life goes on.
@@JasonSmith-jr7jh well that's what makes the most sense. Not the great great great grandchildren and great great-nieces and great-great etc. In San Francisco it's going to be basically, oh your skin is black? Heres 5 million bucks. I'm just not sure that our generation is responsible for giving everybody who's appears Black a life that none of us will never be able to have and will be paying through our taxes. It's complicated.
Germany started giving reparations to the Jewish people directly affected by the holocaust in the 1950s but not the off spring born years later. I think there was talks in the 80s and 90s of giving the Japanese discriminate against during WWII in the United States of America but I'm not sure if anything came out of it.
Jamel, I’ve just introduced myself to your channel and can honestly express full appreciation for what you bring to your audience. This video explicitly brought to my mind Gahndi’s quote “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Posted above my work desk and I try to live by it. Your heart is true & it shows. God bless.
Thomas Sowell should be an inspiration, not just to black people, but to anyone who feels like they don't stand a chance of making something of themselves. There's always the risk of failure, but you should never let that stop you from trying.
There are some great Thomas Sowell books on Audible which is how I read. They are very well narrated and keep your interest. I rarely have time to just sit and read so I usually do books in this form. I recommend Discrimination and Disparities, it was my first Sowell book after bingeing on his lectures.
Sowell is dealing with the facts, pure and simple. Not saying Noah, doesn’t have a point, he just doesn’t have as strong an argument because the hard facts more closely align with what Sowell is putting forward.
That mentality is like what happens to circus elephants. When they are young they chain their leg and they struggle and struggle and learn that they can't get loose so later as adults they are held by a tiny rope they could easily break but they don't even try because their mindset. It's like being institutionalized in prison. Even just working at a prison you get it to an extent. You stop trying to open gates and doors and wait at them for someone to come unlock them even if they aren't locked.
Don’t you love that when it comes to American slavery they never talk about the 3,000 Free Black Americans that had a total of 12,000 slaves put together? Or the 5 “Civilized” Native American tribes that also had African slaves and many tribes fought for the confederacy and even complained when the American government announced the slave emancipation, because it meant the elites in the tribes would have lost their revenues. However, we are NEVER allowed to talk about that for some reason.
Don’t you love how you leave out black slave owners purchased friends and family and they were in danger just as much as a run away slave..White people shouldn’t teach black history when their biased, racist and was born into white ignorance.
Who says we're not allowed to go there? Who's stopping you from talking about it? Particular white people are in charge. Are they not? Always. You DO NOT see Black parents threatening teachers and school board members over teaching ALL American children our American history. Those are particular white people violently threatening these poor teachers who do not deserve it over the damn truth about our American history. Modern day, there's Sowell here and Owens and all the other right wing conservative Black public figures and youtube influencers giving particular white people with history issues, some scape goat token Black slave owners and scape goat "victim mentality" and scape goat whatever else so they don't have to reconcile with the ugly white supremacist hate of who they came from. Which is kind of understandable. Because it's some pretty horrific behavior. Who stands there smiling with your family for a picture for the newspaper, with the dead bodies of hanging Black men right above you? A Black slave owner in history and slavery around the world, changes zilch about the horrors of American slavery, Jim Crow law, and the systemic racism permeating our society then and now. Which is what I would say to Sowell if I was ever face to face with him. Judging by their character, Sowell and Owens are the modern day jump on that $$$ band wagon of slave owners. Getting their piece of that $$$ pie at the expense of their own people. Not a new story.
Yeah. I'm half native American and the idea of the noble savage is the progressive mantra. Many tribes actively tried to genocide other tribes. Constant war and famine. Burning each others crops and selling slaves, hell, we were just as awful as anyone else. I don't want rich white socialist pity. They also don't know how we believed in property rights. Even more then most of the Evangelical Christians moving West. We believed that creeks, streams and lakes were private property. We established common currencies and free markets. Pfft, I've seen what government handouts and assistance does. No thank you. Give me the right to own my own land through my own hard work and I'll be just fine.
I discovered Thomas Sowell’s syndicated newspaper column back in the 80’s. He’s a giant American intellectual. Soon realized, if I disagreed with him on something…I was wrong🤣🤣🤣. Btw, his name is pronounced, Soul. You’ve got a great channel and your work is appreciated!!!
Thomas also started out far left socialist and changed his mind through learning same with judge Thomas. You should see his documentary clearance Thomas in his own words.
"You have no idea how many people I've tried to help..." thank you brother and keep trying. Get through to one at a time and the world will change. You will drive yourself nuts if you think that tomorrow is the day that everyone will get straight and act from kindness and love if only you try harder.
I see a new beginning coming. It's something I love to see. It MAY get a whole lot worse before it gets better but I see this as an infected wound finally being cleaned out and so the healing will begin. Not on the repairations thing but certain truths being told. Ive been watching alot of videos on Jamal's channel. Thank you for that BTW.
The concept of reparations, at least insomuch as I understand it, just can't happen. It would either be in the form of a cash payout or some form of laws that favor some over others in certain situations (which would effectively be the "fight racism with more racism" rabbit hole - we had laws , or lack thereof, that did just such things in the past). If it was just a cash payout, where would it come from, and how much would it be, and who all would get it? And even then, afterwards, would the receiving group suddenly agree to no longer use certain arguments in social discourse? It's just not possible... unless the goal is to get revenge for something that no one alive today had anything to do with.
Well black lives are about to get a HUGE wake up call. NEARLY ALL BLACKS in USA were owned by BLACK OWNERS. AND they're USA 1ST SLAVE OWNER AND BREEDER to WHITE SLAVES. The WHITES ONLY was for the HIDDEN WHITE SLAVES. Democrats made sure TO NEVER show CITY PPL THIS. Now black lives are EXECUTING A LOT of whites over this lie. They got ANOTHER 5 WHITES over this the other day.

I can really appreciate it when you say you don't skew left, you don't skew right, you just seek the truth. Truth is neither left nor right. Truth exalts the humble, and humbles the mighty.

Another great reaction Jamal. Patrick Bet-David released a video 3+ weeks ago on how Indians have the highest household incomes in the USA. Comes down to education and what fields they get degrees in. 💚🤙
Black Americans are one of the groups that deserve reparations. The slave owners ran happily with millions because of them. I don’t mind paying reparations.
This was from when Trevor tried to pull in the black audience because they were loosing viewers(and money) He turned more left than left. 😔 Stay safe 🤘🇺🇲🇩🇰🤘
Trevor has always had that opinion. Because you don’t agree with him he’s somehow wrong or less than? You’re trying to diminish his talking points because you don’t agree with him. That’s what’s wrong with this country.
Lol wut? Trevor's always had that stance! And the daily show definitely didn't lose any viewers, because Jon Stewart was left his entire 20 years hosting the show!
The Tom sowell interview was in 2019, he’s 88 years old. Fun fact, Peter Robinson, the interviewer, wrote Ronald Reagan’s tear down that wall Mr. Gorbachev speech in 1987.
Reparations is about more than slavery. When people like Mr. Sowell talk about black people always treating everything like us vs them, or always seeking change through political means, they often leave things out. Like the long history of why that may be. Long after slavery was abolished, black folks did try to make something of themselves in this land. They built thriving communities and centers of economic prosperity. They lifted each other up and looked inward instead of outward. They produced art, music and other pieces of our culture that still reverberate today. And, in most of those instances, a white mob came in to burn everything down. This is history we are not taught in school. Mr. Sowell's 'wisdom' relies on the notion that fair work will get fair treatment. That, all things being equal, you will succeed. There is a mountain of evidence to contradict that. It is okay to be ashamed of this country's history and still love it. Once everyone has accepted that, we can actually move on.
Tulsa bombing anyone???? Black Wall Street was burnt to the ground by angry whites. There are many more examples of this. There were zero reparations for the victims who lost all businesses and savings. Early 1900’s.
That actually is the history we are taught in school. Hence the claim America is a systematically racist country, because past injustices = current oppression. You made some generalized points whilst claiming that Sowell makes generalized points. Also, if "reparations is about more than slavery", why not redistribute to any racial demographic who has been historically marginalized and oppressed in America.
I've been a huge fan of Tomas Sowell for about 20 years now. As a Native American I get a lot of hate when I tell people that I refuse to be angry at people for things their ancestors may, or may not, have done to my ancestors. It just seems a bit disingenuous to tell someone that I'm owed something from them for things they took no part in.
I am not a fan of any one. I have no need to use hero worship to boost my ego
You know the saying: Europeans didn't do anything to Natives that they didn't to other Europeans, or Natives did to other Natives.
sowell is trying to white wash slavery and jim crow. It has nothing to do with being angry - I am 65 years old I witnessed jim crow - it was not something to dismiss by claiming other cultures had slaves
Because it's not about Reparations... It's about recruiting the next generation to hate white people. That they are disadvantage for the color they are..As envy and hate are two of the most powerful emotions.. That can cause people to murder, cheat, loot, steal etc...I was one of them. Till God said enough. Let me show you the truth about human nature...
@@r.plante2916 True, the crusades on pagan Europeans for example
"Equip yourself with skills that people are willing to pay for" Excellent advice for success regardless of race, gender, childhood anything else that seems to limit human potential.
Trevor Noah is an Entertainer & Thomas Sowell is an Educator!
Mr Sowell is more entertaining
Thomas Sowell is national treasure
Trevor isn't American either
when ever someone uses the word left or right in argument it is fallacy called poisoning the well. they are trying to illicit an emotional response . an intelligent person or educator would not do that
@@DCrypt1 I have N IQ of 173 - I watched all of his videos the buy is bulllshit artist - there no such thing as the right or the left- they are just words used to poison the well and illicit an emotional response just like your replied proved - he made you react emotionally to the word left - I am too smart to fall for these tactics
As a Brazilian, from African, Portuguese, Spanish, German and Indigenous ancestry, if government implemented that here I would have to take money from one pocket and pay myself to another. Since I don't have money I would be in debt with myself 😂
And tomorrow you would have to take that money and pay someone in your family and they would pay you back the next day. I have been saying this for decades, biracial/mutiracial/multiethnic populations would effectively be paying thier own families and themselves. The idea is just insane.
@@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059 it is an American concept, based in the distorted view of slavery. Logic has nothing to do with it, that is why logical arguments don't work against this distorted view.
@@asaventurasderobson I know that. I am just saying, how awkward would it be to have to pay your spouse (and them you) for something neither of you did? Then you just go and fix dinner for the kids.
@@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059 exactly. Some people don't care about the consequences. They just care that the plans "sounds good" and that they are on the "side of the Angels" as Tomas Sowells says.
I'd like for you to pay me reparations for your evil ancestors destroying the peaceful farming settlement formed by Norse war refugees in Vinland North America. I will only accept 10x 30% off pizza coupons and not a penny less otherwise balance will never be restored.
Who honestly believes that if reparations were made that everyone would shake hands and put all the hate and bitterness behind them?
It would cause more division, and many blacks are aware of this and don't want it.
If you give reparations to people that have no clue how to manage money, then they will be broke in less than a year. They will be back with their hand out wanting more. My wife had a friend that took her "Covid money" and bought a big screen TV and a new purse. One month later she couldn't pay her car payment.
It would only make it worse.
this is not about reparations - reparations will never happen it is too complicated to do. the problem is sowell is using his platform to white wash the history of slavery and jim crow in the US .the guy is sociopath
It would double the bitterness. If someone who looked like me killed your wife and you demanded compensation from me, I would be outraged if I was forced to pay and you wouldn't feel like the compensation was enough, because a human life is priceless.
I don't know the solution, but I'm sure that ain't it.
Thomas Sowell is a economist an historian .. ❤but has the lived experience. At 92 raised in Harlem he has the creds. I love this man . We all can learn from him

Trever Noah and the MSM would NEVER put Sowell on their show, because he would tear them a new one.
They wouldn’t put him on because he’s a Conservative which is very, very sad for many, especially children who’ve missed out on the benefits of his genius. Some of his books should be required reading in our schools. Definitely one of the greatest minds of our time.

What did Trevor Noah say that was wrong?
@@riaa8689 Why should you be responsible for something you've never did, to people that don't exist anymore?
I'm white. My family came from poverty. My dad's family lived in trailers in the woods in Kentucky. He worked multiple jobs at once to give his 4 sons a chance, while my mom worked 3rd shift at a hospital so they could split time for care for us. Trevor Noah can stick it...
I find Noah's argument that "your slavery doesn't count" to be uncompelling.
Ya, I remember Trevor going to visit his grandma in South Africa and couldn't HELP but think, "Dammmmn, this lady lives like in the poorest looking house. WHY isn't Trevor throwing some that loot at his own family???"
And therin lies an even bigger problem that Sowell addressed in another segment I saw.....
The last generation of blacks owned more land than this generation of blacks does because they hadnt fully adopted the redneck culture yet.
They were more likely to lean on each other, help each other, and that was due to the tribal heritage they came from.
There were once vastly sucessful black areas in America, even WITH segregation looming over their heads.
They wore suits, dressed well, and were community orientated.
And then in MY generation, along came the likes of Ice Cube, NWA, all the gangster "out for me" mentallities.
("Gonna bust a cap in your arse stuff").
And NOW we got saggy pants momma's boys who feel entitled. Often like momma.
Because rarely is a DAD is around to slap that silly mentality out their heads these days and say "Pull up your pants, get out there, and work hard like I am!"
Being white, that seems to be going on in our families too with no DAD around, due to family courts.
My own son was stripped out my life.
I got 6 weeks visitation in 18 years just cuz mom kept moving and hated me so it was 125 court dates in 5 years.
So I let go after 5 years trying fairly JUST to avoid killing this woman for stealing my heritage away.
I tried again, and again over next 19 years.
The boy was brainwashed in a similar manner.
He mocked me on speaker phone.
Didnt wanna come in his teens.
He is now 23 and a total punk society will have to deal with sad to say.
(Does this sound familiar to what black families are getting now? I say yes.)

As a black conservative libertarian... I would've left Kentucky for a better economy elsewhere. Some folks vote based on their emotions while others practice the doctrine. 🤷🏽 No difference between the slums in the inner cities vs. trailer parks in the south . One group is proud .. the other is angry...broke ..voting based on race similarities . Read Dr. Sowells books .
@@U.S.Dept.ofHoeflation I'm a fan of Dr. Sowell, and my parents did leave Kentucky when I was young to bring us to a different state to give us opportunity. It's easy to just say "leave", though, and not always practical. I would love to now leave the blue state he brought us too then, but we have roots and infrastructure and I can't move everyone. My point about Trevor Noah's racial framework stands.
The one thing that stood out to me more than anything Sowell said was "Equip yourself with skills people are willing to pay for". Many folks are going to college and getting degrees and STILL are looking for employment. A degree doesnt mean a job is waiting for you and even if one is it doesnt mean you will make enough to survive.
Learning a trade and starting your own business is the best path. College mainly prepares people for careers working for someone else.
Sowell is a MUST read. He does care, more than most. He looks at the problem with fearlessness and fierce honesty. To dismiss him is willful ignorance.
My grandparents lived through 20 years of dictatorship, my grandmother had to leave school at 8 years old to work in a farm for food stamps (rations) as a pay and my grandfather spent years in a labour camp in a different country. They never complained, my family never complained, I don't get to complain either. Life is hard, we have to work and be accountable for our choices.
The Black couples statistic was interesting. Stay together, work hard together, love each other and you will succeed financially and live well. Works with all races.
You're right! I work with and know many white guys ( I'm white) who are divorced, have kids with one or even 2 different women, living with a different woman (in her house) and they own almost nothing. Why? They are paying child support, have drinking drug or gambling problems, and their kids often want nothing to do with them. It's not race, it's behavior.
@frogsterjonesiii6482 do the majority of the school shooters and psychopaths come from a two parent household? I believe they do.

I read a book when I was in my late 20's, called "Learned Helplessness", by Martin Seligman. Marty was a prominent professor at Penn ( or Penn State - not sure). I read the entire book diligently and learned a lot about how a person learns that his situation is controlled by his own mindset and not his environment. That book, and a couple of others, were given to me by my math/science teacher while in prison in 1986. She was studying for her Masters Degree and wanted me to be the subject of her thesis. I haven't been able to confirm but I assume that she thought I was different from the average convict. The prison personnel turned her down over "privacy" issues. I learned so much that it got me out of prison for good and helped me to stay married for 35 years and raise 3 children. Brother, you are wise beyond your years and I truly appreciate your podcasts!! Jamel, you are amazing and a true brother to mankind!!

This country needs far more people like you. I come from an immigrant family that went through hell during and after WWII. My family managed to make it to this country because my father fell in love with the American solders. He was a 15 year old in a British POW camp. When the war ended, the British wanted to release him, but at that point he was thought to be orphaned and the Americans took him in. He was astonished at how the American culture treated foreigners and promised himself that he would, some day, become an American citizen. Well, he picked up his young family in the early 50’s, put us on a ship, and headed for America. It was extremely difficult in the beginning because nobody spoke English, but there were opportunities all over if you were willing to start at the very bottom of the food chain. Until his dying days and his mind had faded, he continued singing a German song praising the virtues of Americans. If this isn’t the land of opportunity, the answer is to find someplace more suitable. There is a reason immigrants from all nations, races, and religions are clamoring to get here. They would give anything to trade places with someone who is unhappy here. You need to get your message out! This country needs to heal and prosper again. It is still the greatest country in the world for anybody willing to work for it.
We can't heal as long as media and politicians keep picking the wound.
When the victim mentality ends, then we can heal.
Does america heal and say forget the money u owe us if u get caught for tax invasion, or when u commit a crime do they heal? Look I am a strong believer of "consequence".. when u do something wrong you have to pay for your actions period... if you tormented ppl like that doing things as grievous as lynching a human being for doing nothing? Come on.. the fact you are hesitant to pay for lynching ppl n having them live in that fear n trauma for so long should get them paid n your hesitation shows a lack of remorse... not paying decendants of those despicable crimes is mind boggling to me... we should stop using the word slavery when it comes to blacks, just use the word terror, savaging.. slavery makes it seem like a basic crime... I can tolerate slavery n don't think you should pay any reparations for that.. but factor in the fact you were raping n lynching blacks.. now I'd like to hear someone speak after that.. n if u do with your desensitized ass, then u really need to examine yourself
You expressed that beautifully!

Thomas Sowell is an amazing intellectual. More people need to be exposed to his work. Great video reaction! Much love ✌️
Jamel- Jamal, l am deeply impressed with you and your show!!! I am a plain white 77 yo woman who taught on an Indian Reservation in the northwest. All most all of the program and the concerns it discusses apply to Native Americans. I also relate to it because I had parents who taught their children that they wouldn’t be able to succeed since they’d never be enough. I think believing you’ll never be enough underlies the struggle your show discussed. Sincere gratitude for your work and who you are.
Yep, see, I knew that you would get Thomas Sowell right away. You are too logical and honest of a person.
I really appreciate you bringing awareness of Thomas Sowell to your audience. Many probably would have never heard about him if it weren't for this series. Kudos.
My friend, people are so busy yelling, that they can’t hear anything but themselves yell. We are all standing on mostly common ground NOW, but we all only look at whatever heights we have had to conquer. There are bad people out there, their political party doesn’t matter because they are just self serving idiots that have been around for decades. The truth is that they aren’t that important, that we should ALL just ignore their noise and take care of each other and of ourselves. We really need to get along and love one another. The world is a big place. There is plenty of everything out there for all of us. Don’t be greedy and expect a free ride. Whenever it’s “free”, it’s too damn expensive. Thanks as always Jamal for putting up great stuff!❤
no one is yelling except you and sowell
@@wuxin5847all I see is you shitting on others pretending you need no one in life. Good luck with that.
@@wuxin5847 Sowell never even raises his voice. Are you a wumao?
"I dont lean left, I dont lean right. I just wanna hear the truth." Good stuff. Thats what most of us want
Me too.
This is great that you are exploring Thomas Sowell
His work is important to understand the full context of world and American history
My family is european and american indian. How many attrocities were committed upon the indian people of this nation? If someone offered me reperations I would refuse them for one simple reason, I refuse to take payment for the suffering of someone else. Their part of my bloodline, but their story is their own. On a side topic, The dogma of each political party is so identifiable that everything does become a political debate. Everytime you cast your vote for something or someone, remember that you're morally responsible for the results of that vote.
🙄🙄Nice Try. ➡➡After World War II, the Indian Claims Commission paid a total of $1.3 billion in reparations to Native Americans Apr 30, 2021 - Indian Affairs Begins Disbursement of $900 Million in American Rescue Plan Funding to Tribes Across Indian Country. ➡➡September 28, 2016
The Department of the Interior and the United States Attorney General announced this week that the federal government will pay 17 native American tribes $492 million, settling claims that the government mismanaged tribal resources for years. ➡➡Feb 4, 2019 The resolution approved by the Tribal Council in 2016 divided the Minors Fund payments into blocks. Starting in June 2017, the EBCI began releasing $25,000 to individuals when they turned 18, another $25,000 when they turned 21, and the remainder of the fund when they turned 25. ➡➡Nov 30, 2022 Two tribes in Alaska and one in Washington state are each getting $25 million to help their ongoing efforts to relocate homes, schools, airports, water-supply wells and other infrastructure, the Biden administration announced.
I think personal reparations are just greed, I’d happily take the $ for my people and other natives who struggle under the decisions of negligent leaders and systemic barriers we need to overcome.
My first question every time I hear Americans sook about slavery
I really appreciate your open mindedness! Our species has created a lot of atrocities against its people. It’s very sad, however, when people enslave themselves to victimhood
I respect the fact that you are willing to listen to this and learn. I have learned a lot over the last few years from listening to different people online and in person. I wish more people were open minded and reasonable like yourself. I am learning everyday and God knows I am ignorant in a lot of areas lol. But I enjoy learning and hearing different arguments. I think we need to have more political discussion and debate. There's nothing wrong with having a different viewpoint right or left as long as you arent violent and can have a reasonable discussion.
Jamal you're doing great man Thanks for this upload. Keep doing what you are doing -We LOVE YOUR MESSAGE!!!
Wow, very good review and post Sir! I listen to Mr. Sowell all the time. Glad you discovered him too!
I’m was a lil guy from Louisiana born in 1956, who was never supposed to amount to much. In 2023, I’ve been retired for 26 years as a 23 year active duty Air Force as C-5 Instructor Flight Engineer. I guest speak on aviation, and entrepreneurship, at areas high schools, and a college, own my own apparel & sign business. THIS is MY ‘reparations’ to MYSELF! God Bless America!🇺🇸
Thomas Sowell cares tremendously about people and wants us to know the facts so we can make better decisions and improve our lives
He sounds like a Regan era conservative mouthpiece. He give a lot of percentages, numbers and figures but cites no actual studies that can be verified to back up his claims. Be wary of people who do that. People who prove points can back them up with actual facts. Not because they say so. Want to impress me? Do that. Otherwise you're just talking shit and have an obvious agenda.
sowell only cares about himself how much money he can make selling pro slavery propaganda
Thank you for this video. I'm 66 years old. I grew up during the civil rights movement. I'm trying to learn about what's the hold up with the black community. I didn't hear of Thomas Sowel. Until a couple of days ago. I can't disagree with anything I've heard him say. This man has had to be censored. What he is saying applys to everyone. You are the only one holding you back. I've been told I couldn't do things.I used that to motivate me. This is a country that has basically a signed agreement between the government to the people That they are guaranteed certain rights as citizens. The construction and the bill of rights. It is our job as citizens to ensure those rights are upheld for every other citizen. What watching your videos and other black Americans videos I see You and the others are doing the right thing. Motivating your people to take advantage of the opportunities this country has to offer Thomas Sowel got it right when he said equipe yourself with the skills that people are willing to pay for.I'm going to show this video to my niece and her husband. What Thomas Sowel says everyone needs to hear. I followed politics since JFK was assinated.Why I never heard of Thomas Sowel can only be attributed to is that his message to have have been blocked by Someone or entity. His message could and should have helped the black community lift themselves up 40 years ago. What I have to say is keep doing what you're doing. Get the message out there. Keep motivating your people. We all want the same thing. A roof over our heads,pay our bills feed out families and still have money left over. How much money left over is up to an individuals desites.
I find you very willing to learn and I find it refreshing. Being insightful isn’t prevalent in this country anymore. Thomas sowell is highly intelligent and very good source of information.
The fact that you look for the truth, by default in today's political climate makes you a conservative.
Sad to say, it's the truth.
The thing with indentured servitude is many ended up dying before they paid off their freedom. It wasn't a 5 year car loan like Trevor brushes it off as.
The phrase kidnapping did not exist until the 1700s. When a string of children disappearances happen in London.
Child indentured servants were a big thing and parents would sell off their kids to pay off debts if they had no choice. Since you only needed verbal confirmation to sign a contract in front of a magistrate, it was easy to abduct kids, pretend to be their uncle, and sell them off to wealthy nobles.
Noah plays it off too much because it doesn't fit the narrative of the writers in his back room.
Not that many coming from an Irish American. Don’t fall for the bs, indentured servitude is not even close to slavery.
True. And after my ancestors did get out of endentured servitude they toiled in the coal mines because nobody would hire them. I'm not comparing atrocities, that's Trevor's gig. I'm just saying
Jamel, AKA Jamal, I started watching your channel when you did music reactions. That was a few years ago. Whether you know it or not my friend you may not be 'right' but you are by your actions a conservative. You took UA-cam (a tool) a made something of it. You are in every sense an entrepreneur! What you are doing, what you have done is something every black man (or woman) in America can do if they want to. There are no legal obstacles in the way of anyone who wants to move forward. Thank you, God bless you, keep going!
The more we are learning lately, the more we are seeing that much true history has been hidden from ALL of us
It’s literally criminal what has been done
Ok so self responsibilities is completely out the table? At a certain point you can educated yourself a lot, but you need curiosity.
Hidden? Nah man, ignored to suit a racist narrative. White man bad, that is all, forever. What a crock.
Well yeah in the 70's BLACK LIVES removed REAL HISTORY AND insert CRT OF LIES. They created FALSE MYTH which is in DEMOCRAT SCHOOLS. They removed PROPER english and INSERTED BLACK ENGLISH AKA WHITE SOUTHERNER ENGLISH FROM THE WHITE SLAVES IN USA WHO USED WHITES ONLY BATHROOMS, TO BLACK OWNERS AND BREEDERS WHO HUNG OUR PEOPLE. This is the HISTORY BLACK RACE HUSTLERS DO NOT WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW or the WHITES. BOTH RACES ARE EQUAL DOWN TO TONY TIMPA AKA GEORGE FLOYD BUT WHITE. They're NEVER going to give REPARATIONS and they're LYING to BLACK LIVES AND WHITES. The 1st usa slave owner and breeder IS BLACK, NOT WHITE BUT HE OWNED A LOT OF WHITE SLAVES IN USA.
NOBODY OWES YOU A DAMN THING. IF YOU WANT SOMETHING, WORK FOR IT. That's a direct quote from my grandfather. A Mohawk Indian who was put into indentured slavery when he was 5 years old and his mother died of smallpox. He was sent to the notorious abusive Mohawk residential school in Brandon where terrible things happened.
But he took the skills he learned and worked hard to make money and buy a farm. His 7 children echoed this exact doctrine and became successful.... And I was told the same thing and excelled at university along with my siblings. Go back a few hundred years and only a few people held the wealth and power.... A few billion people would need reparations. Today's society provides complete fairness to everyone.... If you're poor.... Work harder. My mothers family couldn't afford shoes for her.... Dirt poor. So she became the top student and got scholarships. A feeling of Entitlement.... It's really the worst thing that will stand in the way of true success and honor. Sorry... I'm an old first nations man.... This is what I observed... And so far it's worked.
I love watching your videos, and I really appreciate your outlook on life. Keep em coming
Thomas spent a career researching his points, Trevor spent a week. I'll listen to both, but i will trust Thomas for a solution.
Trevor Sowell (the e is silent) is one of the most highly regarded in his field in America today. However, because he tells the truth and journalists and media cannot come back at him, I believe he has been deplatformed. When I first came across him, it was pure joy to hear him speak such truths, and now I find it pure joy again, to find someone who accepts these truths. I have watched a few of your videos and wish you well in your endeavours. This comes from a retired white lady in Tasmania, with love, and I would like to call you - brother. 🌅
22:10 is a great point, i think he's saying if you think you're a victim all the time, and no matter what you do the system will be against you based on a characteristic, then you will never even try which then leads to more problems down the line.
The "soft racism of low expectations " is real
I didn't think I'd go from watching you do Steely Dan reactions to doing serious social commentary. Great stuff.
Word lol
I say this a lot, but my favorite thing about Sowell in his books is the questions he thinks to ask and research answers to.
That's called gathering sources or research. Surveys can be repeated until you get the results you want. All sides twist the statistics. But, just a little question, do you trust the uniform crime report the fbi tracks and tabulates every year?
wow you think his books intelligent - what a sad world - that a conman like sowell can trick so may people
@@wuxin5847 I've read large swaths of critique of Sowell, and not found them very compelling, though some valid points are made. Do you have a favorite I can look at? Not looking to wantonly disrespect you like you did to me, but always open to new information.
@@AnthonyFransella I critiqued all his talks my self . I do not rely on others to form my thoughts. first he claims that slavery in other cultures was not taught in schools- I am 65 years old I lived and witnessed jim crow for my self- and I learned about slavery in other times and cultures in school so right there he already told a lie .
then he claims that welfare is used hold down black people while not mentioning that majority of people on welfare are white that is a contradiction to what he is trying to prove about welfare holding down black people I will continue my critique in my next reply
@@AnthonyFransella continued form previous post. then he claims that the do called "left" is accusing society of holding black people down - in another time he says that cornell univ is making the courses to hard to hold black people down - by doing that he is admitting that the system is holding black people - which he claims the so called "left" is lying about = to be continued
My parents are Mexican and speak almost no English. They had dirt when they came here. They worked hard and made it. They Own 2 homes that are paid off. Put me and siblings through college without borrowing money. We are all doing really well. Our kids will do even better. What advantages did my parents have that African Americans don't?
Thomas Sowell is one of the most intelligent people I have ever had the pleasure of listening too. Trevor, not so much.
So.....because you don’t agree with Trevor Noah his opinions are not valid or less than? I don’t agree with TS but I respect his right to his opinions and his ability to express himself. That’s the problem with certain people in this country right now. If my opinions are different from yours it seems you would accuse me of lack of intelligence. For me I would want to have a conversation with you and hopefully find some common ground. If that doesn’t happen at least we had an honest and interesting conversation. It’s shameful that because TN doesn’t agree with TS you find him lacking. Shocking.....
@@kellifranklin9872 what did Thomas Sowell say you don't you agree with. Seams to me he's not expressing feelings but facts. Your agreement is not needed for it to be true. Unless you see yourself as a victim, and looking for justification.
Crack on Karen, Thomas Sowell doesn't deal in opinions but facts. He experienced Jim Crow personally and has educated himself and others to a high level with facts. Trevor Noah is a comedian from a different continent. His opinions are not valid because they are wrong not because I or anyone else doesn't agree. That's how facts work. Imagine not knowing how facts work. Shocking.
@@gavinwilson2071 nicely said sir.
@@gavinwilson2071 You absolutely proved my point. Your very first instinct was to call me a name AGAIN because I don’t agree with you. Opinions are just that-opinions. His opinions aren’t no less wrong than yours. You’re saying he’s wrong for having a different opinion than you do. What he said about inequality about interest rates and housing was actually fact. Especially after WW2. That can be found with a simple google search will. What this heavily edited video doesn’t show is that Trevor was having a QandA with his audience and the subject of reparations came up. He was giving his opinions based on his experience with apartheid in South Africa. He grew up during apartheid. Because he was biracial his family had to go into hiding. He lost his home and he lost family members during that terrible time in their history. He couldn’t even go to school. There’s a chance he could have been killed. Just for being biracial. Sowell talks in opinions more than he does in facts. He’s been debunked by serial and actual scholars over some of his “facts.” You and the other people her calling me names and accusing me of being a victim when I was hoping for an honest and respectful responsible conversation. You absolutely are the shining example of why there’s so much hate and divisiveness in this country. You would rather personally attack someone rather than understand an opposing view on something. In the words of someone I admire I will try to always go high while folks like you always go low. Have a nice day.
If you wanna read, Thomas Sowell is a prolific writer. He's even authored a book about late talking children. Good stuff.
Good message today , I believe you can do anything you put your mind to, I do believe there is still a lot of racism out there, people are ignorant or believe what they are told growing up. I'm a 63 Year old white guy that loves your channel, you make me laugh and feel good. When I was a kid around 9 or 10 I wanted to be Michael Jackson because I loved the way the Jackson 5 performed , I used to pretend I was him.ive always tried not being a racist and to love everyone the same, I grew up with a very prejudice father and that always made me angry and embarrassed, I try to pass on my ways of thinking to my kids. Looking forward to more videos keep up the good work. P.S could you possibly review the Cowsills hair video I think you would get a kick out of it.
Almost anything you put your mind to
I don't understand why more people don't know about Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter Williams. It's astounding that I've been following these men for more than 25 years and they are not better known. These two men, one the student of the other, are insightful from any perspective.
Great video and great commentary. Thanks Jamel!
It seems to me that everyone today wants to play the victim and not take personal responsibility for their actions. Nothing comes easy. All one has to do is take the right step in the correct direction. Persevere.
What I got from this is that people enslave their own minds by what they choose to believe. What you believe affects your life profoundly. If you want something to read, Jamel try: As a Man Thinketh by James Allen. It's only 32 pages but I read it when I was young and gave it to my stepson when he became an adult. Thank you for these videos. I also like to hear both sides of a conversation without someone's emotions or beliefs interfering with the actual truth.
love thomas sowell. he has absolute piles of facts at his fingertips. he'd done lots with economics and can just roll figures off without a second thought. and all these facts and figures simply don't care in the least about your feelings/emotions.
thomas sowell, every time i've seen him, has always been very chill and laid back, and has always listened politely to an interviewer or whhoever he's been talking to. i don't know about noah, but i seriously doubt that sowell'd be interrupting.
Beside the definition of “race hustler” in the dictionary is a picture of Al Sharpton.
🎯
SOMEONE needs to pull up on them all and RELEASE THEIR LOVE because BLACK LIVES OWE US A LOT of bodies. They been MURDERING WHITES over this. everything in USA is DEMOCRAT RAN MEDIA AND SITES. We BEEN TRYING to educate black lives but they REFUSE to get a PROPER education.
Don't forget Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan
And Candace Owens
@@kylaarmstrong-benjamin8066 I don’t think you know what race hustler means. It’s someone who tells racial minorities they are victims who need a savior, then proclaims to be the savior. Candace tells the same people they are NOT victims.
You are an awesome man, I appreciate you putting out these type videos. I interpreted the subjects and points exactly as you did. Thank you for sincerely considering all these challenging points of view and giving us your open thoughts and impressions. Please keep doing what you're doing 👍
Makes me want to read Thomas Sowell.
So important to read him. Perhaps the greatest living thinker on race in America.
I just found your channel and It’s so refreshing to hear somebody with your background be so open.
I am a middle class white dude from Chicago-land. While I grew up in the burbs, I spent most of my 20’s in the city. To date, it’s the most segregated place I have ever seen. There is a literal line(street) you cross on Ashland Ave that changes over to black businesses, black housing, even the billboards change. It’s crazy.
In culinary school one of my best buds was a black guy from Englewood(where most of Chicago’s murders happen, or used to). I took an opportunity to go to his home for a bbq with his family. The ride in was the sketchiest experience I’ve ever had to date. It’s hard to believe conditions like that exist inside the US. His home was as nice as mine, but just a couple blocks from hell. When I walked in, the music literally stopped and everyone stared at me. While it was awkward at first, the conversations I got to have changed my life. I got to hear first hand how poor mindsets keep you poor, how thinking you’re a victim makes you one. Best of all, it was a 17 year old kid who laid it out for me. Truly wise beyond his years.
Now I live off grid in Alabama. Couldn’t be further from how I came up. While there are some stereotypes about the South which are true, most of what most people think simply isn’t true. I’ve never met more people that would help you out no matter how you look than I have here. If only humans could just learn how to listen and converse again, we might just stop all this insanity. Sometimes I feel hopeless, but then I find channels like this and I remember Love is what will set us free.
Trevor Noah isn't having a debate with Thomas Sowell here. In fact, I have a feeling Noah would get his clock kicked if he had to go head to head with Sowell. Sowell spews facts from years of compiling research.
@@kellifranklin9872 it’s a piece cut to forward a political agenda. Dr. Sowell was asked why he’s NO LONGER a Marxist and he replied “facts”. Research Dr. Carol Swain, she’s an American success story.
@@kellifranklin9872 You have issues if you think by me saying Trevor Noah will get his clock cleaned by Thomas Sowell is somehow demeaning, you just don't get how smart TS is. He's street smart, book smart, and older and wiser. Damn right Thomas would kick his ass!
@@kellifranklin9872 Trevor Noah means well. He's just naive and not very bright. Honest truth.
@@kellifranklin9872 i'm just telling it like it is. It's you that has a hard time with reality
WE ALL NEED to suggest that to ALL THESE shows NOW. Black lives do NOT know about these people and THEY'RE EXECUTING WHITE PEOPLE over THEIR LIES about REAL HISTORY. Black lives did this. NOT WHITES.
Thomas Sowell has been speaking these truth's for decades. I find it rewarding, so many are finally able to move past the Hive mind to simply listen to his perspective. Trevor Noah hasn't any experience in the these American /Black American experiences he speaks on. They are fed to him, tied to his income.
Chappelle's Show showed exactly what would happen with reparations lol
*honk honk* I'm rich bi-atch!
Thank you Jamel. This was a good one.
Mr. Sowell started out as a Marxist and a leftist extremist. He changed his philosophy because he educated himself deeper in the reality of the worlds history.
I see the same spark in your eyes brother.
Keep learning and keep growing as a man.
I am proud of you for how far you have come already.
He is a fraud. Most people know this
@@aboutthat1440 You're right, Trevor Noah is a fraud.
@@aboutthat1440 what makes him fraudulent?
@@ChrisAthanasNot worth the time, chrisathanas.
The "most people know this" 🐂... tells you all you need to know.
It would be like arguing with a 'Flat-Earther'...
I appreciate the editing, too. It doesn’t sound like anything is being taken out of context. Each speaker is allowed to complete their complete thought before the other comes in. Really well thought out.
Thomas Sowell is a genius. His book "Basic Economics" is a must read for every American. It's long, but very well laid out and understandable.
The basic misunderstanding of economics is killing the western society
I don't lean right, I don't lean right. I just like hearing the truth! It really is that simple people. He speaks the truth.
I’ve seen both of these men comment on this topic a lot. I feel like with Thomas Sowell what he’s saying is based more on fact, wisdom and historical accuracy whereas Trevor Noah is more based on feelings and emotion, some of his take is fact but it’s more emotion than fact. I don’t feel like Trevor knows his history nearly as well as Thomas does.
You don't have to feel that. Sowell's resume'/CV make Noah look like the minimally educated entertainer he is.
@@joelspaulding5964 A lot of celebrities are that way. They think they know everything and use their platform to voice it. Thomas is highly educated and an economist. He’s also with the Hoover Institution which is widely known for being highly regarded and others like Victor Davis Hanson and John Yoo like Sowell are highly respected scholars.
He clearly doesn't because BLACK LIVES REMOVED IN THE 70'S ALL WHITE HISTORY from CITIES. The 1ST USA SLAVE OWNER AND BREEDER IS BLACK. Blacks ASSUMED he's white because to blacks today. IT SOUNDS WHITE. Now black ppl are EXECUTING A LOT of whites IN USA now.
7:12 Trevor Noah is just blatantly saying ‘yeah it was all races BUT…let’s focus on Black peoples being slaves’.
If California which wasn’t a slave state is going to hand out reparations I am going to identify as a black man that lives in California. Even thought I’m a white man ( very tanned because I’ve been in the Bahamas the past couple weeks) and live in Massachusetts. Seeing now you can identify as anything you want and can’t be questioned By the way the first slave owner here was black named Anthony Johnson.
You don't have to identify. BLACK LIVES OWNED WHITE SLAVES. This is why WHITES ONLY was on the BATHROOM doors for WHITE SLAVES IN USA. Then black lives in the 70's got greedy and INTENTIONALLY removed ALL WHITE HISTORY from books, unless it's bad. THEN THEY STILL LIE. Blacks were CRUEL to whits people. The WHITE SLAVE TRADE exists also. BLACK CULTURE IS WHITE CULTURE FROM SOUTHERN WHITES who was SLAVES IN USA to BOTH RACES.
It is Thomas Sowell like 'soul' pronounced. Dude is an American legend one of the smartest men ever.
Blacks were the not only slaves, how about my Irish family who came to America during the famine? All kinds were slaves & treated horribly. Most blacks were sold by African blacks to jewish slave ship owners who then would sell around the world.
When the victim mentality takes root it’s difficult to sway ppl away from that, especially when MSM works to reinforce those backward beliefs. Remaining stagnant because you believe in lies is what truly holds ppl down.
We out here about to get this reparation. They said slavery would never end. They say reparations is impossible. Let’s get it.
I'm of Eastern European Jewish ancestry. 6 million of my people were murdered and tortured by the Nazis. Reparations were paid to survivors who had to make legitimate legal claims, but I am not the one who deserves it, it was my ancestors who managed to survive, children who were orphaned, and those who claimed lost property and homes. I, who was born three or four generations later, don't deserve it. It's a very touchy subject, but I don't know that handing out millions to anyone who happens to be Black, or any other color, who may not have had any relatives that were slaves, is going to help a lot. If we are taking that route, look what we did to the Japanese in California by imprisoning them in the desert with little shelter or food. No one is suggesting those families should get reparations, and to my knowledge, they aren't even asking, but in theory, they would deserve it just as much. I see both sides of the argument the Sowell and Noah are making, but there are a lot more people who would deserve reparations, but they aren't asking for it, and no on is offering it. Life goes on.
Umm, they did get reparations. Decades later, but they did get something.
@@Skeezer66 No One in the Huge Jewish community in Los Angeles that I know has received anything. Any idea what "something" was?
@@lamusiclover2264 I was thinking the same, but it was ONLY reparations to the living survivors, not their offspring.
I may be wrong on this, though.
@@JasonSmith-jr7jh well that's what makes the most sense. Not the great great great grandchildren and great great-nieces and great-great etc. In San Francisco it's going to be basically, oh your skin is black? Heres 5 million bucks. I'm just not sure that our generation is responsible for giving everybody who's appears Black a life that none of us will never be able to have and will be paying through our taxes. It's complicated.
Germany started giving reparations to the Jewish people directly affected by the holocaust in the 1950s but not the off spring born years later. I think there was talks in the 80s and 90s of giving the Japanese discriminate against during WWII in the United States of America but I'm not sure if anything came out of it.
Jamel, I’ve just introduced myself to your channel and can honestly express full appreciation for what you bring to your audience. This video explicitly brought to my mind Gahndi’s quote “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Posted above my work desk and I try to live by it. Your heart is true & it shows. God bless.
Fact check: True. Common knowledge that banks have been redlining
Thomas Sowell should be an inspiration, not just to black people, but to anyone who feels like they don't stand a chance of making something of themselves. There's always the risk of failure, but you should never let that stop you from trying.
There are some great Thomas Sowell books on Audible which is how I read. They are very well narrated and keep your interest. I rarely have time to just sit and read so I usually do books in this form. I recommend Discrimination and Disparities, it was my first Sowell book after bingeing on his lectures.
I REALLY appreciate you sharing your experiences and points of view. Keep these videos coming.
Sowell is dealing with the facts, pure and simple.
Not saying Noah, doesn’t have a point, he just doesn’t have as strong an argument because the hard facts more closely align with what Sowell is putting forward.
That mentality is like what happens to circus elephants. When they are young they chain their leg and they struggle and struggle and learn that they can't get loose so later as adults they are held by a tiny rope they could easily break but they don't even try because their mindset. It's like being institutionalized in prison. Even just working at a prison you get it to an extent. You stop trying to open gates and doors and wait at them for someone to come unlock them even if they aren't locked.
Jamel, you ARE a good human!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us~ God Bless
Don’t you love that when it comes to American slavery they never talk about the 3,000 Free Black Americans that had a total of 12,000 slaves put together? Or the 5 “Civilized” Native American tribes that also had African slaves and many tribes fought for the confederacy and even complained when the American government announced the slave emancipation, because it meant the elites in the tribes would have lost their revenues. However, we are NEVER allowed to talk about that for some reason.
Don’t forget the first slave owner here was a black man
Don’t forget the first slave owner here was a black man
Don’t you love how you leave out black slave owners purchased friends and family and they were in danger just as much as a run away slave..White people shouldn’t teach black history when their biased, racist and was born into white ignorance.
Who says we're not allowed to go there?
Who's stopping you from talking about it?
Particular white people are in charge.
Are they not?
Always.
You DO NOT see Black parents threatening teachers and school board members over teaching ALL American children our American history.
Those are particular white people violently threatening these poor teachers who do not deserve it over the damn truth about our American history.
Modern day, there's Sowell here and Owens and all the other right wing conservative Black public figures and youtube influencers giving particular white people with history issues, some scape goat token Black slave owners and scape goat "victim mentality" and scape goat whatever else so they don't have to reconcile with the ugly white supremacist hate of who they came from.
Which is kind of understandable.
Because it's some pretty horrific behavior.
Who stands there smiling with your family for a picture for the newspaper, with the dead bodies of hanging Black men right above you?
A Black slave owner in history and slavery around the world, changes zilch about the horrors of American slavery, Jim Crow law, and the systemic racism permeating our society then and now.
Which is what I would say to Sowell if I was ever face to face with him.
Judging by their character, Sowell and Owens are the modern day jump on that $$$ band wagon of slave owners.
Getting their piece of that $$$ pie at the expense of their own people.
Not a new story.
Yeah. I'm half native American and the idea of the noble savage is the progressive mantra.
Many tribes actively tried to genocide other tribes. Constant war and famine. Burning each others crops and selling slaves, hell, we were just as awful as anyone else. I don't want rich white socialist pity.
They also don't know how we believed in property rights. Even more then most of the Evangelical Christians moving West. We believed that creeks, streams and lakes were private property. We established common currencies and free markets.
Pfft, I've seen what government handouts and assistance does. No thank you. Give me the right to own my own land through my own hard work and I'll be just fine.
I discovered Thomas Sowell’s syndicated newspaper column back in the 80’s. He’s a giant American intellectual. Soon realized, if I disagreed with him on something…I was wrong🤣🤣🤣. Btw, his name is pronounced, Soul. You’ve got a great channel and your work is appreciated!!!
Thomas also started out far left socialist and changed his mind through learning same with judge Thomas. You should see his documentary clearance Thomas in his own words.
The English paid them over 100 years ago, and were paying them until like 25 years ago
Paid who?
"You have no idea how many people I've tried to help..." thank you brother and keep trying. Get through to one at a time and the world will change. You will drive yourself nuts if you think that tomorrow is the day that everyone will get straight and act from kindness and love if only you try harder.
One guy is giving a road map to success and one guy is giving excuses
I see a new beginning coming. It's something I love to see. It MAY get a whole lot worse before it gets better but I see this as an infected wound finally being cleaned out and so the healing will begin. Not on the repairations thing but certain truths being told. Ive been watching alot of videos on Jamal's channel. Thank you for that BTW.
The concept of reparations, at least insomuch as I understand it, just can't happen. It would either be in the form of a cash payout or some form of laws that favor some over others in certain situations (which would effectively be the "fight racism with more racism" rabbit hole - we had laws , or lack thereof, that did just such things in the past). If it was just a cash payout, where would it come from, and how much would it be, and who all would get it? And even then, afterwards, would the receiving group suddenly agree to no longer use certain arguments in social discourse? It's just not possible... unless the goal is to get revenge for something that no one alive today had anything to do with.
Well black lives are about to get a HUGE wake up call. NEARLY ALL BLACKS in USA were owned by BLACK OWNERS. AND they're USA 1ST SLAVE OWNER AND BREEDER to WHITE SLAVES. The WHITES ONLY was for the HIDDEN WHITE SLAVES. Democrats made sure TO NEVER show CITY PPL THIS. Now black lives are EXECUTING A LOT of whites over this lie. They got ANOTHER 5 WHITES over this the other day.
The scales were so far imbalanced for so long, that it'll never be balanced, or could ever be made equal....
@@kylaarmstrong-benjamin8066 It took a very long time for Ireland and England to repair their relationship, and sometimes still tensions will still flare. ua-cam.com/video/mD9sUqCxZq0/v-deo.html
@@dovely9279 yes from what I understand, things are still pretty tense in some areas!
And the feelings of animosity are still very much prevalent especially from older generations!
There's little to no trust or forgiveness and I don't blame them one bit!
Thomas Sowell is on an entirely different intellectual level to Trevor Noah.
My man. His books are fantastic! Thomas that is....
I can really appreciate it when you say you don't skew left, you don't skew right, you just seek the truth. Truth is neither left nor right. Truth exalts the humble, and humbles the mighty. There is no "my truth" or "your truth". If there is, then it's not truth. Keep seeking and may God bless you in all that you do.
Another great reaction Jamal. Patrick Bet-David released a video 3+ weeks ago on how Indians have the highest household incomes in the USA. Comes down to education and what fields they get degrees in. 💚🤙
You have a good heart. I'm so glad to see how you approach this issue. God bless you.
Black Americans are one of the groups that deserve reparations. The slave owners ran happily with millions because of them. I don’t mind paying reparations.
Government should pay not you.
Ive been looking for a channel that's talking about real topics.....thanks brotha!! 👍
My reparations are going to work everyday and getting paid at the end of the week!
Thomas Sowell is brilliant
This was from when Trevor tried to pull in the black audience because they were loosing viewers(and money) He turned more left than left. 😔
Stay safe 🤘🇺🇲🇩🇰🤘
Trevor has always had that opinion. Because you don’t agree with him he’s somehow wrong or less than? You’re trying to diminish his talking points because you don’t agree with him. That’s what’s wrong with this country.
Lol wut?
Trevor's always had that stance!
And the daily show definitely didn't lose any viewers, because Jon Stewart was left his entire 20 years hosting the show!
The Tom sowell interview was in 2019, he’s 88 years old. Fun fact, Peter Robinson, the interviewer, wrote Ronald Reagan’s tear down that wall Mr. Gorbachev speech in 1987.
Cool side fact!!
Reparations is about more than slavery. When people like Mr. Sowell talk about black people always treating everything like us vs them, or always seeking change through political means, they often leave things out. Like the long history of why that may be. Long after slavery was abolished, black folks did try to make something of themselves in this land. They built thriving communities and centers of economic prosperity. They lifted each other up and looked inward instead of outward. They produced art, music and other pieces of our culture that still reverberate today. And, in most of those instances, a white mob came in to burn everything down. This is history we are not taught in school. Mr. Sowell's 'wisdom' relies on the notion that fair work will get fair treatment. That, all things being equal, you will succeed. There is a mountain of evidence to contradict that.
It is okay to be ashamed of this country's history and still love it. Once everyone has accepted that, we can actually move on.
Thank you for this excellent comment
Sowell understands this, far better than you or I- he lived it.
@@joelspaulding5964 which makes it all the more egregious that he would leave it out as it invalidates many of his more conservative talking points.
Tulsa bombing anyone???? Black Wall Street was burnt to the ground by angry whites. There are many more examples of this. There were zero reparations for the victims who lost all businesses and savings. Early 1900’s.
That actually is the history we are taught in school. Hence the claim America is a systematically racist country, because past injustices = current oppression. You made some generalized points whilst claiming that Sowell makes generalized points. Also, if "reparations is about more than slavery", why not redistribute to any racial demographic who has been historically marginalized and oppressed in America.
