Christianity is WHY African Nations "Failed" along with all of the colonized countries from the 15th century forward. The Papal Bull of 1452 from Pope Nicholas V specifically stated that any land available not owned by Christians should be taken and their inhabitants enslaved. It's not really Critical Race Theory after all, is it. It's just history. Edited For Spelling if "Papal".

@@JohnDoe-lc9yj Foolish. African nations with high Christian majority happen to be the most prosperous, Ghana, Nigeria, the Ivory Coast, Cameroon, etc. Even in Nigeria which is multiethnic, prosperity is greatest among the Christian states. Same with Cameroon. On the contrary, parts of Africa with little influence of Christianity have little or no prosperity, which explains the extreme poverty of countries such as Niger, Burkina Faso, and the Central African Republic. This of course is necessary if only facts matter to you.

@@ThomasSowellTV That's true. i read a book that was a compilation of Essays on Christianity & Freedom (Historical Perspectives). There's tons of citations for further reading. Those countries where conversion to Christianity was most prevalent were those areas most prosperous in the end even after Europeans left. Even areas like Kerala, india show this, even when India overall is very diverse and Christianity in india is mostly concentrated in Kerala. Unsurprisingly, success of Christianity in any area conquered by Europeans depended on the Church evangelizing NOT being associated with the government controlling the area. So Anglicanism didn't have any success in india; but catholicism did.

@@ThomasSowellTV Christianity had to be imposed on those nations, usually by western dominating forces. Therefore they've been industrialized to the extent that the West could capitalize on their cheap labor.

@Thomas SowellTV The plains Indians didn't hunt the Buffalo too extinction. The Buffalo being hunted almost too extinction was due to the the introduction of the Sharps 50 caliber rifle and the popularity of buffalo coat and hide furniture in the east, and Europe. Buffalo were killed by the thousands daily to supply this trade. The Buffalo went from herds numbering in the millions, to almost extinction because of the trade in their skins by buffalo hunters, not the plains Indians. As matter of fact one of them became very famous in the old west, Buffalo Bill was his name.

But your people have been exterminated by the white man. Your land taken. And your way of life destroyed. Do you not feel anger at the white man ?

That, unfortunately, is the nature of human history ... Humanity is a mix of dignity, and depravity, capable of performing acts of incredible mercy ... and utter depravity ... I don't know about the Native peoples of North America (Canada and US, both), but looking at the practices, especially human sacrifices of their enemies, and a large part of South America was already drenched in blood, way before the Portuguese, and Spanish, arrived c. 15th Century, perhaps for millennia ... Were some of the Plains Indians decent people ...? Naturally. But creating the mythos of the 'Noble Warrior' ignores in the undoubted inter-tribal warfare, especially of land, food, and especially access to fresh water. I haven't dug nearly deep enough into their history, but if China and Japan both had their Warring Periods ... Well ... It seems brutal warfare is etched way deeper into us humans than we care to think about ...

Except he got the end wrong where he said the plains Indians hunted the buffalo to extinction is untrue for two reasons: The buffalo are still alive and not extinct and it wasn't the plains Indians it was the US army, they couldn't capture them on the prairie so they took out their food source.

@@lancejames1916 he said "virtual extinction" do you have a source for your claim about the u.s army?

@@TheManWhoTypes Yeah its in the history books it's not false information bug it wasn't just the army, it was also furtraders and bounty hunters but I'll find a video I can post but there's an iconic photo where buffalo skulls are stacked like 60 feet in the air.

The Buffalo was out salvation. We used Food, shelter, bones and sinew for weapons. The Buffalo was very important to us and the military knew that. Warfare you take over the natural resources water and food. Every Buffalo killed was a Indian gone.

The video neglected to mention the buffalo hide hunters, who shot and killed the millions of bison that the Indians relied on to survive-------- Once the railroads went in, speculators charged a fee for people to randomly shoot the bison from the trains--- the natives must have been aghast with the horror that these Anglo whites shot their main food source and wasted most or all of the meat--- The cavalry couldn't defeat the red man on the battlefield, so they eliminated their food source in order to subjacate the plains tribes----

Most likely why the government saw little use for him since he possesses integrity as well.

He's also "old"as the fucken wind

@Curiouser and Curiouser You having a conversation with anyone is going to be painfully slow because of your mental disability.

He said the plains Indians hunted the Buffalo to virtual extinction and that is not true. I've seen photographic evidence and read a great numerous accounts of a United States military tactic to slaughter Buffalo on the plains to starve the Comanche into surrendering, rather than fight them. I you're interested in the history of the plains Indian, as many people are, I recommend you look into this fellow S.C. Gwynn who wrote "Empire of the Summer Moon"

@@dondonnelly5278 Both can't be true? I've seen ancient Navajo and Hopi sites in the Southwest. They had no better sense of ecology than any other peoples and the only thing that allowed them to continue was their population was so low they could get away with all sorts of wasteful practices. Which doesn't mean the Army didn't have a plan to kill buffalo.

It was the white Buffalo hunters who decimated the herds. They did if for the skins which were sold. The meat was left to rot on the plains. The army saw what was taking place and turned a blind eye because they knew the impact upon plains Indians. Besides, by this time much of the land had proven its worth for crop production. There's now way Midwest farming could coexist with roaming Buffalo herds. What happened to the American Indians was inevitable from the day Columbus set foot in the Caribbean. When a people with superior technology bump up against an inferior technology, the conclusion is preordained. OTOH, the American Indian is now counted among the most honored of American citizens.

@@dondonnelly5278 That was the only part I saw as inaccurate. I was under the impression many buffalo were killed by poachers who the railroad companies paid to make way for the railroads.

@@dondonnelly5278 I have no doubt natives massively over hunted the Buffalo to trade for guns and such.

Hi, Lee Thank you for your most incite full comments. Very few White folks recognize what an impact their arrival in America has had on Native American lives and culture. The Spanish release of " Horse Technology ", and the spread of that technology to the more Northern Native Indian Nations' ran head long into the native peoples of North East, and North Central indigenous peoples fleeing the Whites encroachment on their historic home lands. It was a cultural and technological clash that heralded the destruction of technologically inferior cultures, by those who had adopted superior technology. Whether they themselves had developed it or not. Tim

The Comanche were very deserving of the reputation of native tribes being savages. They raided settlements all the way down to northern Mexico and frequently kidnapped children after slaughtering their parents

@@lindaeasley5606 The horse transformed the Comanche from a tribe no one cared about to a tribe that slaughtered all rival tribes and controlled a vast part of the southern plains.

@@kurtf31r That must have been one ornery horse to have come up with such an idea and then led a tribe into such a radical change of lifestyle. Joking aside, I recognize the horse was a disruptive factor, but I think we all know that a human being or group of them made choices and decisions of what new path to follow. And that path was destructive unfortunately.

Then the Cheyenne invaded Blackfoot territory in Montana, taking about half of it. Once the Blackfeet got their own horses they were able to turn the tables against the Cheyenne and drive them out. By then the Crow and Lakota had taken the Dakotas and Wyoming, so the Blackfeet couldn't expand any farther south or east than the modern borders of Montana.

How can something factual be upsetting? Other than a horror happening that we before did not know happened ?

Only those in search for real truth speak as you have. Never stop doing that.

Your attitude is admirable.

I spent 2 years of my life basically discovering everything I had read, or heard, was nonsense, and what I learnt was to embrace discovering where I was wrong, and to never outright dismiss anything. I even given a lot of "out there" conspiracy theories a fair shake. Cause what I learnt about banking, or Thatcher, and especially government, all turned out to be wrong Even the stuff I believe now I'll love to know where I'm wrong. Maybe I don't fully understand banking (well I don't but I know a lot), is there some history on socialism or capitalism that if I learnt it would change my thinking?? Maybe, I'm certainly no longer a socialist, I find their arguments weak, and often based on lies (and even absurd lies), but that doesn't mean I have more to learn. However saying all that most stuff I learn now reinforces my views, even when I'm trying to challenge them

@Curiouser and Curiouser It's called research. Sowell was a left wing radical in his younger days.

Yeah, I didn't know that either.

Horses changed everything for the Plains people of North America. But they also survived for 15,000 yrs with out them. What I find interesting is how little they changed the landscape in 15,000 yrs. Places like Mesa Verde and the Mounds are few.

@@kevinkline6835 I agree. There's a lot about those cultures that's fascinating and yet, sadly, lost to history. Why couldn't Costner make a movie about them? I learned recently about one Native who basically traveled half the continent on foot and by boat in search of his ancestors, and met all these different tribes, and some tribes said to go to such-and-such a place and you'll find this people, or, watch out for these guys over there. They may even have ambushed some Russians in the Pacific Northwest. Fascinating.

Sowell is certainly a talented propagandist and he knows his audience but where are his facts in this video. Which primary documents did he source? Any documents whatsoever?

@Curiouser and Curiouser the era is not prehistoric, don't you realize? Sowell did research rather than simply start with a story he wanted to tell and then cover those pieces of data that supported that story. It's quite simple, though not easy. Try a little work and maybe you too can rise above ignorance.

@Curiouser and Curiouser yes, c&c, you read my comment with your own confirmation bias, thereby missing it's point entirely and wasting both my time and yours. No one who researches history need to be the subject of that history or there would be no history at all. The historians whose bias you prefer are also not 300 years old and native American. Indeed, both victim and abuser would be expected to write bad history of they are normal humans. In the event, a man with neither bias is likely more objective. Given Sowell's own history of data analysis, I doubt very much either you or I have put his typical rigor into the subject. A good measure of this is that the complaint 98 percent of the dissenters here have lodged isn't even something he alleged -- if you read his comment on that regard more precisely. Good fortune to you anyway.

I actually would agree, but I'm not a huge fan. Sowell was a "black" Conservative, but I'm "white". It grates on me that he refers to the western advance as that of "whites", as if this were one people. If we were all "whites" then explain Northern Ireland, the French & Indian Wars, or any number of other wars between "whites". What about "blacks"? Were they unified and can be generalized? The same goes for the "Indians", "Indigenous Peoples", "First Nations", etc. Things could be better explained as a more advanced (varied) culture running into a less advanced culture. The current left wing intelligentsia would have us bow down to the primitive. My ancestors didn't think that was a smart move, and I'd have to agree.

Might want to research a place called “Buffalo jump” in The province of Alberta in Canada.

Both groups. The military killed as many as possible to deprive the Plains Tribes from their main source of sustenance, poachers killed vast numbers on railroads, fur traders killed many for their furs, and the Plains Tribes killed many as well. Some accounts state that the Plains Indians also killed the Bison to deprive white settlers, the U.S. Army, and other Native Tribes. The point should have been that humans are just as destructive as they are constructive regardless of ethnicity, that's why proper Stewardship of the planet is essential

Native Americans were not the ones doing the following in 1872; During this year and the next two, an average of 5,000 bison were killed each day, every day of the year, as ten thousand hunters poured onto the plains. One railroad shipped over a million pounds of bison bones. Bison hunting became a popular sport among the wealthy.

@@RWebster325 It has been well reported that horse was a "weapon of mass destruction" against the bison. The plains Indians and Bison lived in a very delicate balance until the introduction of the horse. It was reported by fur trappers and other explorers as early as the 1820's and 30's that the Indian tribes were complaining about the disappearing Bison. The white bison hunters did kick the bison almost to extinction but the tribes would have accomplished that goal if they had been left alone within a few decades.

Noble Warrior Syndrome

I mean thats obvious but a poor excuse for the governments and big corporations genocidal policies.

The noble savage is a myth, but the honorable settlers and heroic soldiers is a bigger distortion of history. Taking the land and its immeasurable value by force was stealing. Period.

Best to fact check that one 😉

No fact check needed. It is true. In fact, the Aboriginals, including the Metis, fought with each other for dominance in bison killing. ​@ianyork1759

​@@JuneAdams-li9syThat's a lie the government paid wp to kill the buffalo to drive out the ndns

The longform history of the Sioux vs settlers in the Dakotas is really eye-popping. We hear a lot about the peaceful Indians who sat around campfires all day, smoking weed, and eating buffalo meat. In fact, they were fighting each for territory. When they did, a warband wouldn't just kill the men. It was scorched earth warfare. They'd raid a village and kill everyone they found. They might save kids of a certain age, old enough to be somewhat independent, but young enough to be adopted successfully. Scalping and mutilation was part of the game. There was no protection for women or babies or old men. If they didn't like your tribe, your WHOLE tribe was taken out. The Comanche were relentless in Western Texas, fighting literally everyone. All of those rules Western Europeans came up with to sanitize war and make it a "gentleman's war"... none of that applied here. In fact, none of it really applies much of anywhere outside of Western Europe. Naturally, the Western Europeans were horrified, but no one else was horrified to see war extend to its full extent. Now, to be sure, this isn't to dump on the Natives either. Merely, it's meant to simply tell the truth. The truth is that they were fearsome fighters when they felt called to it. Some tribes did more warring. Some less. When they did, there was a certain heroism and bravery to it - but according to their rules, not necessarily according to ours. They put up a hell of a fight, but lost a numbers game. Diseases wiped out 90% of the population. Competing tribes and white settlers killed off many of the rest. Europe suffered similarly with the Black Plague. Native populations were decimated and waves of migrations from east to west often created warfare, displacement, or replacement of peoples.

You do know he's talking about the late stage decay of native American society right?

@@kma3647 one thing we often forget about the indian wars, if they left the women and children alive they would simply have starved to death. they lived in a brutal and harsh world and were simply people of that world.

@@SupposeImRight it left out the native American tribalism and painted them as humble caring victims.

Not all natives were nomadic people. It's like saying all European are nomadic. Natives were of many different ethnic groups; some live in plains, mountains, forests, near oceans, deserts and etc...

Such savages, civilized people don't act that way*cough* the belgian congo *cough*.

Research the “Buffalo Jump” in southern Alberta in Canada. Remember that these documentaries are 98% focus on the USA for an American audience. Bison are nomadic are didn’t care about national boundaries. Bison were almost extinct by the mid 1960s , however a few left were kept in Canadian lands near Banff Alberta and have now made a strong comeback to the extent some were sent to the USA. It’s about the only thing the Canadian government has done right.

@@doughartley3513 I am aware of course that native Americans hunted buffalo for a living. But its a matter of historical record that what drove bison very nearly to extinction in North America was white market hunting in the 1870's and 80's to supply a new hide tanning process combined with the railroads to carry the hides to market. There are many books on the subject. If Thomas Sowell is unaware of this then he is not the expert we thought he was. This is a major error.

@alex I think they can be downloaded for a few $ with kindle.

Can I add to that 'Empire of the summer moon' by S. C. Gwynne. It tells the story of the Comanches and their great leader Quanah Parker.

Did you ever look into it for yourself? Checking multiple sources? Or us that just what you were told and believed without question?

Wanted pelts for clothing food to eat. Hides left over sold off to whoever would buy. Checkout the Buffalo jump in Southern Alberta Canada. Now a world heritage site.

I'm a non Indian person and it being the white man that drove the Buffalo to extinction is, by far, the story told in movies, TV shows, and schools. I had never heard anyone suggest otherwise until I heard this version.

Yours is the story I was told growing up

That was indeed an odd thing to put into this vid. It's the first time I've ever heard anyone blame Indians for killing off the great herds.

That surprised me also. I always heard it was as you mentioned, and the railroads paying to exterminate them as well.

I too can't imagine the Indians hunting buffalo to extinction as the buffalo herds were massive in numbers. This is a first for me, to question Thomas Sowell.

Indians contributed strongly to the demise of the buffalo. They were not as ecologically careful as presented. They used to send whole herds over cliffs.

@@j_scee6819 Indians killing their primary food and shelter source is slow suicide. If driving a herd of a few hundred over a cliff allows them meat, bones and hides to utilize for the Natives' basic needs, sobeit. Meanwhile, the white buffalo hunters were killing tens of thousands of buffalo each day -- to skin and sell the hides and the tongues -- or to contribute to the U.A. Army's 'starve 'em to death' strategy of eliminating the buffalo so the deprived, hungry Indians would accept living on reservations where they were seduced by the promise they'd be fed by the U.S. government or the resisters would starve or relocate to other places, Canada for instance. It was not uncommon up and down the Great Plains to see thousands of rotting buffalo carcasses whose only removal was the tongue, or months later, just the sun-bleached skeletal bones. It was considered 'sport' for railroad passengers to shoot their under-powered revolvers and rifles at the herds seen from the passing train; certainly not sufficient weaponry that was suitable for delivering fatal wounds..

@@j_scee6819 their life depended on the buffalo. they weren't stupid enough to exterminate the buffalo to extinction. and sending them over cliffs was a hunting method. you try killing these beasts with bow and arrow. what TS states here is simply inaccurate.

@@ramon2008 "The average mature bison weighed some 700-800 pounds and yielded 225-400 pounds of meat, and communal hunts resulting in the deaths of dozens or hundreds of animals (30, 60, 100, and even 600, 800, and 1000 were reported killed) produced fantastic quantities of meat: 50 cows, for example, yielded 11,000-20,000 pounds of usable meat. Many European observers were struck by gourmandizing as well as by what struck them as subsequent "profligacy" or "indolence." At times, Indians used everything. But on occasions they did not, and the observers remarked upon "putrified carcasses," animals left untouched, or Indians who took only "the best parts of the meat." Sometimes Indians were said to kill "whole herds" only for the fat-filled tongues."

Sitting-BULLLLL-shit. Public schools teach liberal diatribes against white people.

Compared to you, sure.

@@jasonbrown372 brilliantly done

Wrong again the railroad company commissioned private hunters to clear the plains so they can lay the rail lines down and even though it played a huge roll the natives ultimately over hunted them to death but hey blame the white man like they did for the moose disappearing in our town while they got to hunt as much whenever they want and just say “muh im feeding my family” when they sell them for overpriced profits like they do Big Macs for 25 bucks on there rez

Indeed, I seem to recall reading that General Sheridan, in particular, was very supportive of the factory-scale bison massacres specifically because he knew it would ultimately deprive the natives of their primary food supply. I think most of the video was very good info but that last part seemed questionable to me.

Good read!

Quanah Parker ... A wonderful book.

I caught this one too. The claim that the native Americans plains indians with horses and rifles wiped out the Buffalo is nonsense.
