God bless you Dr.Sowel for being the first person to have the courage and wisdom to see Obama with the honesty the American people deserve.Thank you.Why can’t people see this was a coup he pulled off.Fear?
"Obama has an absolute talent for saying things that make no sense but not only sound plausible but inspiring" - nailed it!
That statement from Sowell was nonsense! Attacking a US President for speaking on matters with which he may have limited personal experience but definitely has responsibility as POTUS is absurd. This is the reason Presidents have advisors. For Sowell to make such a comment and/or suggest that US Presidents should only make public statements about matters on which they are subject matter experts speaks to Sowell's partiality and his conservative agenda.
@@alexanderk7422 I mostly agree but your reply addresses a different point.
@@beingsshepherd Perhaps!
I think attacking a politician for being good at "politics" i.e. pandering to a crowd is a bit odd.
I also think Sowell didn't seem to fully comprehend the context of what Obama said... Obama was talking about taxes being used to subsidize the oil industry not personal income tax which he was saying should, at the very least, not increase (I'll add, if not be lowered). In essence, wealthy corporations should be taxed and individuals should have some tax stability/relief.
Sowell interprets that as "when people keep their own money that's subsidizing them" = Not what Obama said. And, this begs the question(s) Whose money is corporate profit? What is fair for the employees that make a corporation profitable versus executives? The wage gap between corporate executives and the lowest level workers has become exponentially wider and that, plus inflation, is the reason for the disparity in the standard of living. Not tax. Sure! If 50% of the money poor people earn didn't go to Uncle Sam they could by more stuff but there needs to be a substantial wage increase in concert with moderate taxation. Obama's statement would not fix any problems but it sounds good... and Sowell didn't understand what Obama was saying.
Book of daniel describes the traits of the antichrist and obama fits the bill to tee
@@alexanderk7422 Corporations don't pay taxes. Their customers do. Taxes are just overhead, a cost of doing business. The tax is passed on to the customers in the price of the product. Taxing corporations only increases the price of their products. The people being taxed are the very ones the pols supposedly want to favor. But the pols really don't care, because they only care about the votes of people who don't understand this.
My brother became an electrician. Did not want college. He made twice the money I made with a BA and with stock options through his retirement did quite well, doing something HE ENJOYED. What more can a person ask for?
If he decided to start his own business an education would likely give him an advantage.
I knew a man would repaired home heating and cooling systems. He was very, very good. Good enough to hire about 12 techs. He hired a women who claimed to know accounting, taxes and payroll.
She pretty much controlled the company's finances. Two years into her employment a letter came from the IRS stating back taxes and penalties were due.
When he tried to confront this woman she had blown town with about $200k plus the money she has been stealing since day one.
He stated he didn't need to know how to look at the books to see if he was making or losing money that's why he hired her so he didn't have to.
Has he taken the most basic small business classes at the community college he might have found out about the theft earlier.
@@dps6198 "Has he taken the most basic small business classes at the community college he might have found out about the theft earlier." Or, he could do some simple research and save money in the process. Not saying he shouldn't have been better prepared, but there is a huge misconception that college is the best source of information and learning, when it simply isn't for a lot of cases. Especially considering that, if you go to (public) school, chances are higher you will get roped into some redundant agenda by the teachers, whether you notice or not. Whereas if you have the opportunity to be self-taught, you have even more freedom looking for information and suitable teachers.
I have one question here. Did the woman have the documents proving she was qualified for her job?
Try living without an electrician, a plumber, etc in life!!!
Young people are beginning to see the truth of this.
Electricians on high voltage multi 100KV transmission lines and 15KV distribution lines do dangerous difficult work. The ones working on bungalows not so much. But I get your point... as an engineer I have deep respect for electricians, plumbers, welders, miners, rough necks, heavy equipment operators and others
The clarity of Thomas Sowell is frightening..
Dr. Sowell has hit the nail on the head. I taught in an open enrollment state university for 38 years. About 40% of the students had no business being there. I taught a gen ed course every semester. From looking at essay-question answers, some of them were illiterate. One student wrote on his essay-question response sheet, “I do not do essay questions.”
In my estimate 75% have no business being in colleges.
Back in the day, 60s and 70s, those who went off to universities were capable of doing the work...the others went to work, ( and yes you could get a job without a degree and do well) or in the military, or started at community colleges to figure out if it was for them....Very logical..but then college started to function more as a business model than an educational institution. That was the beginning of the end...money money money.
It's not about education... it's about creating 'Student Loans'... subsidized by the US Government...

"I had the same opportunity to be an NBA star as Michael Jordan"
This has made my list of one liners.
And what President Obama at that time was saying was something different than the premise Sowell was on about. He said every student should have the opportunity to attend, not that every student should attend higher education. Hard to find much controversy in that since it is sort of the premise we're based on as a country.

I noticed this when I was at purdue having studied an engineering degree here in Australia. A lot of students at undergraduate level aren't there because they want to become engineers. They are there to avoid being unemployed. There is a difference. There was little interest in what they were doing.
this man is a gem.

In America most college students get funneled in, expecting only a lot of partying and fraternal bonding away from their parents for the first time. It is an entire culture of prolonged adolescence that you can see in Animal House and the subsequent generations. And it applies to both genders. Almost every graduate of private high schools is expected to go to college. Is it the same in UK and AUS?
Easy loans and an idea that you can find employment with a degree regardless of your major is a huge part of it.
Thomas Sowell should be mandatory curriculum for every high school student 🙏
Thomas Sowell should be mandatory curriculum for every ... student able to read! Easy to understand. No big words. What our generation calledl common sense.
That would be great if every high school student could read. Unfortunately, about 25% of Americans can't.
Dr Sowell's ability to see through barnyard manure and call it out is what makes him a national treasure.
Yes, as a millionaire I completely agree with Sowell here. Don't tax me, tax people with low incomes. I mean I'm already creating jobs so give me a break.
@Person 1 Dr Sowell is not advocating that, but as history has proven, lower tax rates on the wealthy generate more tax revenue on these groups.
And, why should we penalize those who produce?
@DoodleDoo Get a life silly bot.
Someone should remind Dr Sowell, it was GW Bush that totally fu.kup the place before President Obama took over as leader ... GFC anyone !!
Yes, very well put!
Not only is Thomas Sowell brilliant at understanding issues, he has an uncanny ability to identify the core truth and explain it with such clarity that it seems obvious. And he has the courage to say it out loud, in public.
My guess is he had plenty of courage lessons when he was young being an intellectual in black society.
@@doublenickel1000 Dr. Sowell admits to being a "Marxist" in his youth until a govt job jarred his beliefs & changed the course of his life.

You're bat shit crazy🔥🔥🔥
Sowell sold his soul to who ever paid him the most $$$ .
dude has the IQ of a pine cone....
😅😅Stupid though
No he aint
His secret was he most always positioned himself verbally as an "Outside Activist", instead of someone with power. He was *always* speaking as if he had zero ownership of any problems, and shifting the blame somewhere. He was only "the leader" when it was time for praise. When it was time for responsibility, he was always "we'll get to the bottom of whatever crazy things the previous administrations did wrong that caused this!" Even eight years into his office.
Et tu eh Biden ?
And that is the tactic that has been adopted by the entire Demonrat party. They will never admit responsibility, it is always someone elses fault, but they are always ready to claim the successes of others. And this goes on and on and on. People speak of Sheeple, and you need look no further than a Demonrat voter to see a fine example. I remember Leftists saying that the Right was poor, uneducated, and easily led. Well I would say of the Demonrats that they are ignorant, quick to believe lies, and afraid to seek out truth.

Barack Obama gave over $800 million to a new start up solar company in Fremont, California and that company filed for bankruptcy in about a year.
Some of their highly skilled employees who worked there got jobs at East Bay Municipal Utility District (a water utility and non profit municipality) and they mentioned that this solar company spent that free government money like it was water. One fellow said the main entrance of that building was decadent beyond belief. Expensive marble and exotic woods.
He said, no wonder they filed for bankruptcy.

Sowell is correct about higher education. I attended the same college twice. Once in the 70s and again in the nineties. The degradation of expectations for a college student astounded me. In a basic math class (in the 90s) students were dismissed for a makeup exam if they did not have a calculator with them. I did not. I checked the test, nothing above simple division on it, no algebra, no calculus, only addition, subtraction, multiplication and simple division. I took the test manually, working the problems on the back of the sheets. Again the professor reminded me that I could make it up that evening, when I could bring my calculator. I laughed saying, "But there's only ninth grade math here". I finished with time to spare (while many could not complete it even WITH a calculator) and aced the test. When grades were posted, many had FAILED. FAILED ninth grade math WITH A CALCULATOR and were in COLLEGE. In an English class we graded each other's work (they called it holistic grading). I gave another student a D because there were MANY incomplete sentences in his work. It had "sentences" such as "In the tenth decade of the ninth century." (Yes, that was his whole sentence. The paper was rife with them). My professor demanded that I change the grade to a B+ because the young man played basketball and a D would prevent him from playing that weekend. I had to go to the dean to be excused from this kind of grading, since I was required to sign my name that I had given the grade posted. Basketball was more important than education. IMHO, an 18 or older person who cannot do simple math even with a calculator and cannot write in complete sentences is not qualified for a degree, but colleges hand them out regularly.
Why are you taking a basic math class your second time through college? Sounds like you're lying through your fingers to me
@@herpiegerbstick6808 Because my transcripts had aged out and this was not a furtherance degree but one in a totally unrelated field from my original one. As my math was quite rusty after 20 years, I chose to repeat the 101 course before challenging the higher ones. However, believe what you will. I do not require your belief.
So you are repeating general ed classes?
And with that degree they can work at Walmart or a warehouse job😂
You cannot subsidize irresponsibility and expect people to become more responsible. Dr Thomas Sowell Dr Sowell will be 92 years young this June!
Wow, this guy is similiar to William Shatner. You would never guess hes in his 90s.😮😮😮
Biden just subsidized irresponsibility with his new mortgage fee structure where people with bad credit scores get a 1.75% discount subsidized by those with a 740+ credit score who now have a new 1% fee tacked on.
He spoke so well. Very few paid attention to what he actually said.
true that….many just was black
Dems trotted him out as a shiny object that spoke recognizable English and was "clean" and likeable. I may have fallen for his act had I not started listening to Rush Limbaugh around that time.
The devil is also good at speaking. Makes sense.
Thanks u men Thomas is worse
@dstarkspp when he was president, the thing about him that people mentioned most.. he's black. That was mostly it.
Thomas Sowell is straight up. I like that about him. He in super intelligent and articulate. He sees through the bs, and has no qualms about hurting anyone's feelings. The only ones who get insulted are those who see themselves truthfully, perhaps for the very first time. Truth is blind, it has no concern for feelings. More truth is surely needed in our world.
Mr. Sowell is like a drop of Dawn dish soap in a sink full of greasy water.
He has all of pop culture cheering him on, a lot of people let pop culture do their thinking for them. These are the people who love obama.

Higher education isn't the answer. The answer is fixing lower education. I remember being appalled to learn that back in the 1800s an eighth grade education was as good as, if not better than, a high school education when I graduated. And nothing I've heard has indicated that a high school education has appreciated in value since I graduated. In fact it's depreciated since I graduated.
Thomas Malthus years and years ago noted that when the government interferes in industry, it is almost always to industry's detriment because that interference is not being driven by NEED and thus throwing supply and demand out of whack. For some time now the government has been paying to send as many people into college as possible, and the only people obviously enriched by this are the colleges. At no point has it ever been asked whether all these graduates were needed, whether people were studying studies that were needed, or even whether all the money was well-spent on people who graduated instead of just taking classes for years and wasting those years of their life and copious amounts of money. It was simply taken as a unproven premise that 'college is always good for everyone'. If they simply stepped away, a lot of the problems would fix themselves over time.

One reason they push higher education here in the UK is to saddle young people with the yoke of debt at huge interest rates. Other routes to a career are available
It may also be why it’s been pushed here. To indoctrinate people in their line of thinking.

Absolutely. I used to support IT in a number of primary schools, and having just returned from a few years working in Antarctica, noticed how classrooms were full of Antarctic related stuff, penguins and so on. After listening to the teachers discuss about Antarctica, and other places around the world, I pointed out to a few that these places aren't just full of scientists .. i.e. kids/adults who studied hard and went to University etc. The Winterers, those of us who keep the place ticking over and so on, through the dark months, are all mostly tradesmen. I also mentioned that on my other travels working overseas, I saw plenty of Brit (and American) tradesman (Carpenters, Plumbers, Electrician, Mechanics), who had worked all over the planet, all left school with no higher education, but got themselves a trade, earn tons of money and travelled the world. Really annoys me where we are now, this culture whereby if you fail academically, you're done. It's an absolutely dreadful message!
Higher education means more indoctrination to the foolishness.

I never did trust Obama and so never even considered voting for him. But even so, i had no idea just how bad he was. He was only something superficially different, not better, than his mediocre predecessors. These videos cause a sensation of "light bulbs" "clicking on" in my brain.
Kind of funny that he is a know it all. He must have been included in everything. How did he find out about Iran's secrets? Why is America going forward with all of these electric cars? Amazon is moving forward with a fleet of electric vehicles. I guess Sowell, the know it all, is against solar power. I find it funny that he did not talk about Reagan's contra debacle that Oliver North fell on the sword for. How about the trickle-down theory, didn't old Sowell know anything about that? Trump paid 750.00 in taxes, but I guess Sowell thinks that's just fine. Why didn't he criticize the affordable care act, his republican handlers vowed to do away with it, but somehow they didn't. I guess he thought that Obama giving the order to take out Bin Laden was something that sooner or later his republican heroes were going to do, even though they had plenty of chances to give that order, I mean how hard was it to find a 6'7" mountain man. Bush and Cheney brought the country to the brink of a depression that would have rivaled the great depression. President Obama came and cleaned up the mess that they left behind, and brought the country back from that disaster. Democrats have always had to clean up republicans' messes. America's Iran deal was signed by all major European countries. If it was so awful, why did they agree with it? I guess Sowell is smarter than everyone else, and the leaders of Europe are just a bunch of dummies that would do whatever old dumb Obama said. Hey, Sowell give us the solution for cold fusion, why waste your brilliance on republican talking points?
Whole generations of people, including my generation, were raised to believe that not going to college is some kind of social failure. This has not slowed down in the slightest.
My whole family went to University, except me. It's a Socialist club for tossers. Every worker knows this.
Yup, I remember feeling like I was a failure. But I became an LVN. I could make 80k a year but I switched to part time once my daughter was diagnosed with a severe form of autism. My husband also didn’t go to college. He never cared what people thought of him. He’s 36 and making 120k a year now as a journeyman electrician. This wouldn’t be attainable with just any bachelors degree. I think the dumbest thing about college is that no one is educating the students what they’re investing in. My husband and I have no student loans. Students should not spend 60k in a history degree. You’re probably not going to make a good return on what you’re invested in. That’s why we have college students thinking communism is a solution. They can’t even afford to live in an apartment on their own.
Except when you actually want to go to college for something like mathematics or some other academic interest, and it's still prohibitively expensive compared to years past. Sowell completely misses the point, that higher education, regardless of who is going to colleges, is prohibitively expensive for EVERYONE, not just bozos who go to college thinking their sociology degree is going to get them a job at an investment firm or some nonsense. For those genuinely interested in academics, who aren't there to simply get a special piece of paper for companies to look at, it's STILL too expensive. This is regardless of how smart you are as well, since the actual amount of money you can save with scholarships is diminishing, and one shouldn't have to be a literal genius to go to the same college a rich but comparatively average or merely above average person does just because one is poor.
@@moot8710 Why are college tuitions so high? Because of government money bidding up the artificial demand!
If everyone got a college degree... would everyone be more intelligent then? If everyone was on a basketball team, would everyone thereby be taller.

Believe it or not, almost everyone in a skilled trade needs a college level education.
Many years ago, when I worked for a manufacturing company, I was on a committee to develop a program for recruiting or training skilled trades workers. One thing we found, early on, the training for skilled trades was on the level of an associates degree in any trade we were interested in.
We had a skilled tradesman come in to install and set up for operation an air supply system for some of the machinery. He had a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering.
Every nurse I have encountered went to college to qualify.
I was talking to a fellow student, decades ago, quite a few decades ago, and he mentioned his job. The class we were in had nothing to do with his job, so I asked him why he was taking it, he was already in management.
He said he did not have a degree, and he needed one to move any higher. They didn't care what degree, just so you had a degree.
There is a whole lot of education that is college level, but not considered college education.
I think what Thomas might be understating or unaware of was the impact of hope he had on americans. He was articulate, charismatic, well-spoken, and inspiring. Even if you disagree with his policies or what he put in place (obamacare - how cruel providing free healthcare to citizens..) he was someone people could look up to.
I also think education should be a right. Putting a price on it is stupid
We need more like him to speak up about the “mis-information” and the agenda that pushed to us.
Thomas Sowell is an American icon!!!! Thank you!
The problem is on a global scale, politicians have latched onto uneducated people and educated them in one fact...... "Vote for me and I will give you other people's money". The facts that the giver and receiver in this case are morally bankrupt and that they will run out of "other people's money" never enters the discussion.
As Paul once said, "He who will not work should not eat".
Sir, you nailed it. Absolutely.
Why the very very wealthy don't pay taxes
You could not have 'splained it any better.
He promised stuff he knew he couldn't deliver on. Causing his radical supporters to become even more radical because they're ignorant! They don't know anything about civics, about economics, about anything really. Great way to get people to go marching in the street for crap like students loan forgiveness and $15 at McDonald's so some "Community Organizer" can come and fill their heads with EVEN MORE Marxist garbage.
Boomers
If only our politicians had half the common sense and intelligence of Thomas Sowell.
A beautiful rational mind , this guy is always invited to dinner
"Obama has an absolute talent for saying things that make no sense". - Thomas Sowell
Replace obama with politician.
I remember the first time I heard him speak, and the audience was practically wetting themselves, and I said, "But he's not saying anything!" And, having studied history, I thought this was exactly how Hitler came to power. He said nothing of substance, and people thought he was the second coming. Scary stuff.
@@idalily3810 That is so true of Barrack Obama....
@Idalily To not say anything of substance indicates that what he was saying was not for the flesh, but for the spirit.
BINGO, OBAMA TALKS AND NEVER SAYS ANYTHING.
The very first time I saw this guy giving a speech, I said to myself: That guy is nothing but a charismatic con man! And I could not have been more right!
I agree. He tells ignorant people what they would like to hear instead of what they should hear.
As he thinks his intellect makes him someone who knows all. How hypocritical.
Thomas Sowell is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant minds of our time.
Yep... he is what a dumb person thinks a smart person sounds like.
Lol!!!!!!! You’re hilarious.
I love the fact that like Senator Kennedy, Sowell has -0 tolerance for 🐂💩!
👌😄😚😎🇺🇲
@@waynefisher9824
Why?
It's not because you voted for this lying @$, anti-American spook, is it?!
It's almost like white folks are clueless and democratic black folks can't seem embrace the fact that he sold the entire race out!
And I thought ninjas in my old neighborhood was full of 💩!
Next thing you'll be telling us you're taking hormone blockers like his wife Michael! 😒🙄😤😣🇺🇲
Or any other time!
He was so loved because he promised things for free without work needed. He promised a future he never delivered. Easy to win when everybody is poor due to him and promises good things
TRUMP2024
He delivered alright……… he DID fundamentally change the country……… FOR WORSE…… and now he’s telling that Idiot Biden what to do!
Oh no some are winning !! Notice he attacked food stamps while in office cut people food assistance guess who receives the most food assistance in America!! White people !! But never once did he or any other president do anything about subsidized housing !! Have generations of the same families in there , they should have term limits !!! Guess who lives there !!! I fully fully believe Barrack
Was groomed his whole life to crumble America !! I fully belive
His far left
Liberal mother groomed him to be a communist !! That's why she chose an African suitor to get her pregnant!! I wish she never existed and Brrack never
Existed too !! But here we are the fkn boomers have ruined America For ever
There is no going back !!.there is no Trump that can fix it !! It will never be the Same pre boomer generation they have messed up everything, if only we could factory reset America but we can't
Y’all be saying anything because most of y’all disliked him because he’s half black
@Shy do you really believe that? Or is that what you tell yourself to justify your own failures? We don't like him because of his POLICYS. according to your standards if we don't love everything you do were racists. That view itself is racist making you a racist. Not likeing somebody has nothing to do with racism. It's you. A rotten person nobody would like even if your were white or neon green
And who’s paying his latest victim $83 million?
I am so disappointed I voted for him both times. Very bad for the country we love.
Love how Dr. Sowell seems immune to being indoctrinated the way most of us have been to one degree or another, be it subtly or blatantly. Hearing him brings such instant clarity. His words ring true.
Sowell was, by his own admission, a Marxist coming out of college. It was only after working for the federal government that he learned that Communism was a dangerous sham.
He was a Communist at one point, then he woke up. He knows their tricks and how they con you.
He has said he was indoctrinated, at an early age. He was a marxist. What cured him was employment with a government agency. He proposed a solution to an issue, and his fellow employees were horrified, because the agency, and them as employees, wouldn't be needed anymore.
Dr. Sowell is indoctrinated into libertarian-conservatism. Everything he does is about supporting his belief system. That’s fine. But you can’t say he isn’t indoctrinated into any belief system just because it’s one that many people, perhaps even you, share and feel is “alternative”
@@achinthmurali5207 To be clear, Indoctrination is defined as the teaching a person (or a group) to accept a set of beliefs uncritically. Adopting a position, or changing one's mind about a position one once held, is not necessarily the product of indoctrination. Sowell's written work, which is considerable, reflects Sowell's determination to back up his positions with evidence. Sowell came out of college a Marxist (He has admitted this in interviews) and it was only after he worked for the federal government that Sowell concluded that Marxism doesn't work in the real world.
finally. Someone has called "the king is naked" on this impostor --- everytime after listening to Obama talk I asked myself : what did he just say? And always my answer was : " I have no idea.
That's because sh$# comes out of his mouth.
On the bright side at least he made a bit of since from time to time unlike the POS we currently have that puts Obama to shame.
He was & is full of it. Very dishonest. Only spoke someone else's words. Did not mean a thing he said. Someone told him what to say to get votes. If he spoke the truth about what he truly believes in, he never would have gotten the votes. He is a snake.
@@juliedeane4327 So true, and "Michelle" (big mike) has an Addams apple, I saw it.
Me, too!
Let's face it. He was loved for being half black. That's the only reason a good amount of Americans voted for him. That's why there's buyer remorse now.
I agree. If everyone in college wanted to be there it would be better for those that did and didn't. I think we honestly just need to be more supportive, positive and less selfish.
Dr. Sowell hits the nail on the head everytime. So wise and inspirational.
🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
@@sachinvaikunth clowns use lots of emojis rather than having a meaningful discussion
The fact that the mainstream media always covered for him probably didn’t hurt.
He had reporters arrested and jailed!!!
And yet was a media darling.
Yet he believes college students have no interest in college. What a deluded person.
He says the words we want to hear and makes us feel soooo good!
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. The sad part is most of his community dismisses him as A child a "quack." He speaks truths and facts.
HE IS AWESOME
I used to respect him, then he backed trump who went against everything he was supposed to stand for. Since when did Sowell support protectionism over free trade or high deficit spending? Or handing billions to farmers as a socialist bailout? Sowell's just another guy who doesn't actually stand for anything.
his community?
just another uncle tom!
@@georgegordonbrown9522 I know right...that's proof that the mindset of the "race" construct is real in the white community, at the same time claiming that the "ism" doesn't exist anymore. Sowell is in the "community" of intellectualism and academia. lol
My ex husbands property taxes just tripled because the city built a giant flea market with a parking garage right across the street from his house. They also made his block of the street a 2 way. It was a 1 way because it was so narrow. His house isnt the a great thing to look at and it went from being valued at $60,000 to almost $200,000 just because of this building. Now he is in jeopardy of losing his house that his parents bought in the 1960s. The house itself was built in 1850. Taxes are ridiculous.
Property taxes means the government owns your home and the land it's on. Very communist
Yeah, if the value is up, I would have sold it.
It's the way he pauses when he's talking. This pause is where we are supposed to absorb his wisdom.
Obama should not be allowed a 4th term, get out and vote
The Constitution allows only two terms!
Definitely a puzzle. Hilarious how Mr Sowell points out his flaws so clearly. Too bad almost half the country are completely enamored with him.
I subscribed to socialism for the same reason Mr. Sowell did. I looked around my own world and it fit perfectly with the Marxist view of inequality-- have and have-not's. I had to expand my worldview and mindset to see through the smoke and mirrors. It's hard to believe now that I sincerely believed it.
@Jimmie Jay Bohorn thanks for pointing out he’s black. Who knew? Yep, that’s a race card🤪
They loved him because he said nice things that allowed them to feel good about themselves without them being required to actually do anything.
He was shilled by the 👃 media machine harder than anyone else in human history. Nonstop 24/7 campaign from every single 👃 in the entire world to label him messiah.
Half our population are ignorant and foolish...
Never get tired of listening to Thomas Sowell,
A Great American, so knowledgeable.
I know you don't get tired of hearing Thomas Sowell. You enjoy hearing AfroAmericans being denigrated by a Black man. He got to be knowledgeable denigrating AfroAmericans. That's what pleases your ears.
His hatred for Black people gives you a hard
@@darkenergy361this doesn’t hit the way you think it does.
I want to thank you for your assessment of Coleman Young and Detroit.......so sad what the city has become
Wake up people! He’s spinning his answer the same way politicians do. The point is we all should be educating ourselves no matter if it’s college, trade schools, or self-teaching. Do whatever is within your means to elevate yourself intellectually. Failure is failing to do anything!
"You're saying it's ego, pride and vanity." I'm shocked. Thank you, Prof Sowell, for calling it for what it is! It was, and still is, a massive SNOW JOB on the American public. Well, a certain segment of voters
That, and the fact the media relentlessly presented him as a hero and hid negative information about him. They are very complicit in covering for the leftist Marxists.
The segment of Democrats Socialist a nice way to say Leftist Americans, Marxist Communist.. Aka USEFUL IDIOTS.
Yuri Bezmenov USSR defector explains it best concerning USEFUL IDIOTS..
Check out video of Yuri Bezmenov..
Then it swings to the other land of the blind. Ego pride and vanity, defined Trump.
We need something else.
Like a Mr Sowell, or Peterson. Who are big thinkers, who can take it all in. Rather than just being one camp.
There's not a single video anywhere of any classmates of Barry Soetoro Soebarkah, in fact, Wayne Root attended Columbia the same exact years majoring the n political science, he never saw Barry attend any classes there and no professors can honestly say he was their student...now, I ask you: does this sound good?

It's gonna take him ten minutes to say that people can't say that they don't like black president?
Dr. Thomas Sowell is such a brilliant man! Always spot on!
Tom Sowell. National treasure.
One black fellow American told me ; We finally had our chance to show what we can do and this guy messed it all up. I felt very bad for him and all our black fellow Americans. Black America is awake and Black America is educated along with every other American that seeks an education and you can no longer pull the Wool over their eyes like this guy tried to do to all of us.
Save your children from Anti-American agenda in public schools and universities! Let your voice be heard! Vote with your Vote! Vote with your dollars. Stop supporting corporations that support anti God and anti Constitutional Law.
You're referring to Mr. Obama I presume.
Whats wrong with being anti America? There are things Americans should be ashamed of when it comes to the USA. Go ahead tell me to leave lol we all know you have no original material
The emperor's new clothes. Everyone is afraid of being called racist so they don't want to be the first person who stops clapping.
So many people wanted Obama to be a great president, that they overlooked all of his flaws, and consider him one of our best, when he's actually one of our worst.
Which is exactly what he was aiming for.
Tell me you weren't taken in by his Yes We Can.
And blame the fake mainstream media, including *Hollyweird* for pushing that message into the heads of millions of Americans and citizens across the globe. Falling for the trap and believing into the saint Obama is or was going to be vs George Bush. With Obama's many appearances on tv-shows, like Kimmel, DeGeneres, Oprah etc.
Worst till traitor joe came out of the basement
There is no such thing as a perfect human being
Why cant we have this level of intelligence in political discussions and in presidential debates?
I'm grateful to and for you.❤❤❤❤ Gratitude!
M.Sowrell i dream one day in France will talk about you..brillant gentleman ! Thank you!
T Sowell's intelect is up there.Whats incredible is that his answers to questions are so simple and makes you wonder why I didnt realise that!
Thomas Sowell is all about Common Sense. Politicians just want to win votes and say things that sound good, for power and money. Sowell tells it like it is showing us the consequences of what these morons are saying. He does so, because he is incredibly wise with real knowledge of human nature
Ohhhh thank you Mr. Sowell - you bring such clarity to our chaos!
It's simple. Most people do not take the time or put any effort into finding out the TRUE background and motivations of candidates they vote for. That is the real reason we all suffer. Stupidity of the masses.
I taught college for almost 40 years. I mentioned to collogues that less than 10% of those in colleges should be there. They agreed with me. The problem is that these students are not ready for the work college actually involves. They could have bad study habits or not the educational background or the mental abilities or the skills, the desire and the motivation for college. The thing is that college is not for everyone. Career colleges, occupational centers or community colleges can provide the education and training for good, well-paying careers that don't require college educations.
But people who aren't college material at some point need to understand that's what they actually need. The right degree and knowledge will get you where you need to be. Make good money and invest wisely for a few years and then you can do whatever you want. Just like when people go into the military they aren't going to like it but they do it for the benefits that come when you get out. Going to college is the same thing. The benefits you get after graduating. Why is that so hard for black folks to understand? They'd rather listen to people like him saying they shouldn't go if they don't want to.
Ah hey professor, what exactly are "collogues"?
@@clambake3293a typo, dumdum.
@@laryanryan9170they'll still flunk out.
The obsession with allowing "lower income" to attend colleges is why. When it was for the best and the brightest, college was worth it.
Just the fact that the supposed intellectuals have convinced individuals to discount Thomas Sowell’s knowledge speaks volumes as to the reasons why our societies are in the horrible state that they’re in. Because of Obama’s ability to sound knowledgeable when speaking so many people threw away their common sense, critical thinking abilities and integrity and believed him without further thought.
Bunch of Obama haters. Thomas Sowell I believe is pro republican anti democrat and a Trump lover. He hates on Obama as if he was a bad Democrat and he would possibly support a good Democrat when it wouldn't matter who was the democratic president he would hate on , except for Trump, I think most Trump supporters would still love Trump if he ran Democrat policies and those same people would also still hate Obama if he was Republican. The reason why Republicans hate Obama so much is because he was a great Democrat. Why would they hate him so much if he were a bad Democrat? If Obama were such a bad president and failed his democratic duties as president then that should be good news for Republicans as opposed to a good Democratic president that fulfilled his democratic duties. And that is why Republicans hate Obama so much , not because he was a bad Democrat President but because he was a good Democrat president and did his job and did it well. Plus I think Thomas Sowell doesn't like black people. Plus Thomas Sowell is a failure to his country to sit there and portray himself so much better and not step up to do better. I guess he felt shit was good enough without...... and what was Donald Trump, "the greatest president of all time " whom most , or well pretty much all of his supporters consider to be, doing during Obama 2 term presidency..... apparently he had a successful game show he must have felt more important than leading the country at that time and didn't mind Obama "destroying" the country. Yeah Trump just let that happen, for his cable TV game show.
the intellectual integrity , simplicity , truthfulness is all you need to inspire people
Good education does not necessarily mean a college degree.
Politicians always say they are for the people and not for the elite, all while they hang around with the elite, party with the elite, work with the elite, dine with the elite, and do business with the elite.
Positive media coverage and the fear of being called a racist if you didn’t fall at his feet
Exactly. And people were afraid to not go with the programming and culture.
First President to be continuously at war for entire two terms, in the most theaters of war, made Libya into major hub for human smuggling and slave trading, gave Iran pallets of cash to fund terrorism in the Middle East, cucked to Russia on Crimea, cucked to China on militarizing the South China Sea, Weaponized the IRS, sanctioned FBI spying upon a President Elect (anyone seriously think that Operation Crossfire Hurricane went ahead without Obama's knowledge?)

If people like Mr Sowell's speech's were part of school curriculum we would, within a fraction of a generation, increase the intelligence, living quality and future outlook of countries like the US dramatically. Instead we teach feelings, social justice and gang up mentality to our children and wonder where it all went wrong.
Correction....he wasn't the worst but we're currently experiencing the worst...
Of all the Thomas Sowell clips i've seen I somehow missed this one. Thanks for posting! His books should be mandatory reading in all schools...

I had missed it too... but honestly, it's not one I'd send to an Obama worshipping leftist. Or as a standalone to promote Sowell. A couple of his responses, imo, might seem a touch fallacious.
