This was in 1997. Everything he said about victim mentality has come to reality today. I respect this man so much.

When I hear Larry Elder talk I feel inspired by his words and I’m not even black. Elder is one man who really sees through the liberal bs that is out there and calls it out. Larry is the real legend!!! He is a true national treasure.

Larry Elder has been speaking the truth for decades!

I’m so thankful for Larry. He taught me to have a backbone

I am shocked, shocked, that Larry Elder has been speaking his conscience for years now.

Damn Larry was mad cool with the mustache.

Larry is really a great person. His drive to fight for what’s right is an example for all people.

A station owned by Disney backed him at one time. Boy how times have changed!

Why not do both? Work hard, study hard, work on your character AND fight for goodness, justice, and truth.

I remember this interview in 97...I was young naive and felt something inside me shaking but I didn't realize it that I was a lost conservative at that time

Thank God for Larry ✝️❤

Larry Elder is genuinely truthful and always uses facts. Love him or hate him, he is fabulous, intelligent and truly inspiring to all.

The Sage of South Central!!! I listened to Larry on local radio from 2007 to 2013 while I lived in LA. He’s great.

"The chief justice of the supreme court"! You must love Larry Elder!!

Mr. Elder's father grew up during the worst of Jim Crow and managed to build his own business.

I love Larry Elder he makes alot sense to me; I am a black woman with alot of the same views as he, raised in the hood. I got my first job at 15 focused and put myself thru college. Other peoples opinion of me was never more important than my opinion of me. HIGH FIVE Larry Elder.

isn't it funny how Leo Terrell and Larry elder are now on the same team

Larry Elder is by far the best Civil Rights advocate… ever! No excuses!

The best thing that youth sports taught me is that there are times where, no matter how hard you work and how smart/talented you are, failure is a periodic fact of life. I recently put in a lot of work to wow an employer, who I believe would offered a great job, except for one problem: he loved somebody else just tiny bit more. Frustrating and demoralizing. It is easy to blame any number of other people or circumstances. But we don't. It is difficult to pick ourselves and try again. But we do. Even if we fail again and again. Setbacks are merely another opportunity to succeed. To me, this seems to be a wrap-around of Larry Elder's message to the black community and to the American community at large.

I love it that he says he got his head from his dad and his heart from his mom. Two great parents.

A Great Man ! Raised by Hard Working and Respected Parents!

I love Larry Elder. People should start paying attention to him much more. Especially Disney. He's coming, and he has a lot of people behind him. He represents all of us Black and White. He is our man.

Larry should grow the mustache back.

Someone like Larry should have been our first black president. Would have saved us from a lot of the identity politics that is everywhere today

I've only been following Larry Elder for just a couple of years It good to see this video and see that he was on point then as he is now. Very consistant.

And the funny thing is that Leo Terrell completely disagreed with Larry back then, but as the decades went by, Leo slowly became red pilled and realized that most of the things Larry says is factual. He’s now a registered Republican 😁#helefttheplantation

Even though you don't need my approval. Yes Mr. Elder, you ARE making a difference. Thank you. 🙏

This man can inspire the uninspired , we need folks like this in world to make a difference in the world very good man. I love watching him.

God bless this brilliant man of integrity.

I love Larry Elder!!

Ironic that Larry used to work for Disney. And during the recall, Disney donated to Gavin Newsom.

This is real journalism.

Love Larry Elder, You don't need to be black to be Inspired by Larry Elder. Terrific Guy

I can't believe that morley died. He was on 60 minutes for so long and like Andy Rooney died immediately after his retirement.

Larry Elder is a great man it blows my mind that George floyd and Michael Brown are praised but Larry Elder is hated by black people just because he believes that black folks are very capable to make there own way and offended if black people are looked at as victims in today's society. The world has changed the vast majority of white people aren't racist we the people in this country have came a long way I'm a white male and there are so many black folks that have became way more successful and it's from hard work and even playing field anyone that thinks that everyday white people are better off then everyday black people your delusional. Everyday white folks aren't holding black folks back anyone says different show a single spread of evidence that backs that up. Your the man Larry Elder

Larry you HAVE made a difference! Keep waking up América!

I’d like to see he and Roland Martin have a discussion. That would be interesting.

Larry's the greatest. The truth, will always come through no matter how much they try to destroy it. Peace my friends.

Many Black folks don't like to hear it, but it's true - work hard, study hard, and persevere through adversity and you'll do well in this country.

WOW! Larry Elder has always been a beast!

WOW!!! Hasn't Leo Terrell had a change of view. Leo 2.0 is a breath of fresh air. Elder is Awesome!!

Its easier to fool somebody than to convince them they've been fooled.

Its sad that all his points were valid 30yrs ago and it still is.

As a Hispanic man my self, I greatly look up to this man

Wow! Larry Elder and Leo Terrell in the old days!!! 👍

Larry was either way ahead of his time, or things sadly have not changed much if at all almost 25 years later, in terms of how the majority of the Black community will reject, vilify and disparage any Black that dares offer a different perspective or line of thinking than what is commonly received within the community. This interview had might as well taken place in 2021 because we’re still having the exact same issue. Though Larry is still engaging with the same POV all these years later.

Larry and Leo....two great Americans!

Keep up the fight Larry...you are making a difference!

Never seen his folks before. That was great. Shows you who made him what he is.

Larry is the voice of reality.

In addition to the talking heads on mainstream media, I've listened to some of Larry's call-ins on his radio show, and it's basically shown me that blacks, despite being the most vocal about racism, are actually the most racist group in America just by virtue of the fact that they demand certain beliefs and behaviors from all blacks based solely on their skin color, and if you don't conform to those demands you are condemned and it's open season to call you all kinds of nasty names. This reaction by blacks against Larry and other blacks who share his ideology is routinely used as a substitute for honest arguments, often made with a genuine viciousness, hostility and cruelty, and it infuriates me that despite all the racism sensitivity and this passionate devotion for social justice in America it is almost NEVER called out.

1990’s: Strong black man: *“Role model”* 2021: Strong black man: *“White supremacist”*

He hasn't backed down from his opinions. We were in a better place when it comes to race elections the 90a and 2000s. It got worse in 2012 then by 2016 everything fell.

We will never rid ourselves of FOOLS.

Seeing the clip of him debating with his mother on air was cool; two adults who love one another having a difference of opinion on politics.

There should be a petition to get Larry to grow back his 90s mustache.

Dang that’s wild. A couple with different political views. The old America 💔

I have to admit as a proud Black Australian man of East African Somali descent believe that Black Americans need to be more open minded because Black people are not a monolith period. Here are four simple steps to have a less troubled life step one: graduate from high school, step two: do not have kids before you get married, step three: hold down a job and step four: do not commit crimes. I honestly believe whether you agree or disagree with me as long as you are respectful and tolerant I believe that Black American progressives need to change their attitude by getting rid of the gang culture plus the victim mentality which is a sign of low self-esteem plus weakness. The United States of America needs a huge criminal justice reform, economic reform, gun control reform, police reform, political reform and prison reform. All I could say is that my heart goes out to the Black American community in the United States who are struggling not all but some and I hope they make a huge progress. As human beings we should all follow the three principles of life compassion, empathy and love to have a more perfect union.

AND HE'S STILL RIGHT TODAY!! 2023!!

Denzel Washington would portray him perfectly.

I have immense respect for Larry Elder

Man! Even almost 30 years ago this hits hard. Larry has been a champion for truth and self responsibility since then. And that 60minutes interview seemed objective quality journalism. U should see how they covered Donald Trump.

I truly respect and admire Larry Elder. He is an alternative to the group think in the Black community. The Black community can be a toxic place because diversity of thought is not allowed.

God what a man like Larry Elder could have done as governor of California. A man of intelligence, integrity and love of country. Oh, wait a minute, someone with those qualifications could never become governor in California!

This needs to be watched by EVERYONE who hated Elder today. He’s Complete Consistent. Just Like his mentor Thomas Sowell.

Lol. Why can't people just be nuanced about the chances to be successful-stuff. It's obvious the truth lies in the middle of these two extremes.

And look at the country now… he was absolutely right.

This aged like fine wine

🇺🇸 Racism is racism. 💯

Mental health for all 2021✊

I really like these throw back 60 Minutes segments.

Everything he talks about its still going on today and even more .. larry elder for president!!!!! Hes got my vote

1990's: "No one has the right in our community to judge one's 'Blackness' " 2020 Biden: "If you're not for me...than you ain't black"

Larry got beat so bad in the race for governor, some might call it Elder Abuse

One great man, Larry Elder. He speaks the truth, his truth; as a person of color; who would know better then someone who has lived it.

Larry elder cares more about blacks then anyone in office I've ever seen. If he was talking to whites we would praise him for his intelligent thinking towards them (whites). But blacks are taught not to except the things he says....think about that. Guys love everyone. Just love, love, and love some more!

As a non-american I can say that Larry is a legend!

Total hit piece against Larry; the MSM hasn't changed much since then.

Recently got introduced to Elder’s work and platform. He’s a maverick in shattering false paradigms a lot like Thomas Sowell.

He was playing angles then, and nothing has changed.

With great mustache comes great responsibility 👍🏿

Crazy how right Larry is and was.

This was a blast from the past. Leo Terrell has come a long way since the 90’s. I wonder if Larry Elder has that influence in him.

Sad to hear about the recall. Larry is too good for this world. Another example of why most competent, caring professionals don't bother to get involved in politics. I hope he one day gets a victory worthy of his abilities.

As someone who is fiscally conservative however morally liberal and votes mostly democratic, there are a few truths to what he's saying. His thoughts and feelings are his however the question is if he's trying to help those who came up from nearly the bottom ad he did. I respect 🙏🏿 anyone who came out of Crenshaw therefore its expected brother that U give back!!!!

Larry Elder spitting HARD FACTS !! God bless that man . ANYONE can make it in America , regardless of race , creed , religion . We all set our own limitations in our minds , if you want to be a victim and don’t think you can make it you won’t … but that’s on YOU . Not on a whole race of people .

Larry Elder’s story about his father is incredible

Larry is a jewel

That's a killer mustache

Look at all those analog tapes on the wall. Look at Morley Ahhh… the good ole days

Larry Elder is evidence that merely telling the truth is not enough to change anything ... Seems there has to be a different way. People hate logic, especially when it points at them to make changes.

As a Mexican and a person of color, I would prefer this than what we currently have, because at least with elder you know what you're getting. With newsom he talks nice but stabs you in the back. Vote Yes on the recall

Been speaking the truth FOREVER!!

Damn that stache is pretty fresh ngl

I cry when I hear the story of his dad and him........ His dad is a great example

Larry is totally correct on all subjects. I need him as the PRESIDENT.

2:05 does anybody miss the 90s like I do?

I am moved by Mr. Elder. Thank you kindly. A most honorable brother.

Larry has been consistent with his ideals from day one. I'm proud to have voted for this man when we tried to recall Greasy Gavin Newscum in California, though Larry didn't win the Governorship but he won hearts and soul of many people of different races, religion and economic backgrounds.

Wow they’ve been saying “they don’t pay there fair share since the 90s”
