Navarre Marshall You speak the truth my friend. As a Jew I’ve often been told that I was born into privilege. What privilege? My father was a postal worker and my mother was a low-level hospital administrator. Dad had a massive heart attack in 1971 requiring a pacemaker to be implanted. He was forced to retire early and accept a half pension. From there we were on public assistance and food stamps. Most of my working life was spent as an auto mechanic (after trade school) and then as a blue-collar worker on a heavy truck assembly line. I worked a lot of overtime and sometimes a second job to benefit my family. Yet I was chided by coworkers saying “He’s a Jew! They always do better!“

I have black blood somewhere in my background, along with indigenous blood. I say this to let you know that although I have extensive European blood, I look like a brown man. I've been reading Thomas Sowell since I was in high school in the 1970's. I've been a "conservative" since I could vote. Because of influences like Sowell, I have a 30-year, six-figure, career and a forward-looking attitude about life. I never looked at any of the racist moments I've faced as a hurdle. I looked at them as fuel for my ambition. I work in a position that is far above any white person I work with. This exists because I never relied on anyone to "give me a chance". I took what I wanted and dominated the effort. People of color need to stop begging for scraps and feed their souls on their own.

At 13:08 Sowell concedes that the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s as something largely good that was achieved through politics, while maintaining that most of the time, avoidance of politics and instead working hard and saving money is what has been the primary factor for success. But many of the corrections that the Civil Rights Movement sought were reversals of rules, laws and discriminations that were *brought on by the use of politics in the first place.* So it's important to recognize that politics almost never solves problems brought on by free choice and markets; but when it *does* appear to solve problems, it is almost always "solving" problems that were created by politics in the first place.

Yes! And something I want to add is a quote from The Quest for Cosmic Justice: "In politics, the great non-sequitur of our time is that 1) things are not right and that 2) the government should make them right". So I think one of the consequences of this mindset, assuming the truth of his quote, is that whenever something is actually made right in society people will credit the government. This is true even when government is the main cause of the problem, and reducing government power is what solved it. Somehow government still gets credit. I mean Jim Crow, the Great Depression, or even the 2015 oil industry bust all snowballed directly from piecemeal government action, yet government is credited with these things being "made right"

Black people are given more advantage than whites, so are foreign exchange students and all women, especially of color. Look around, their are approximately 4 whites to every one black person yet there is not a lack of black success stories. The biggest problem in every community is the loss of men raising children with the mothers. The second the extremely high drop out rate from high school, which most attribute to the number one problem and the third problem is unplanned sex leading to parenthood before being maturely employed. If a young person of any race wants to avoid poverty the fathers need to step up, the kid needs to excel or at least complete high school and avoid parenthood until financially stable.

What is extraordinary about Dr. Thomas Sowell is he uses evidence to formulate is opinions, not emotion or tradition which has become the hallmark of most black political thought. The disparity between racial groups is "because the incentives created by affirmative action and similar types of programs had made it too dangerous to take a chance." For those who want affirmative action today this has already been the tested outcome. Btw, what many black people don't know is when blacks were shut out of certain industries and whites wouldn't hire them it was Jews who would train and mentor some blacks to acquire the necessary training and/or experience in order to get the job or take the test to get the job.

Dr. Sowell had the issues of black advancement nailed almost 35 years ago. No matter how many blacks have political power, it will have very little ability to advance the economic futures of the mass of black, although it will massively advance the welfare of blacks that are in power. As an example, the Detroit public schools are run almost exclusively by blacks and the teachers are almost exclusively black, yet it's only those two groups that economically advanced. Teachers and administrators are paid some of the highest salaries in the nation while the schools are failing and falling further behind each year. Only about 40% of blacks graduate high school, and about 50% of the black population is functionally illiterate. Those are the structural problems that need to be solved, not the constant drumbeat that racism is to blame for everything. Unless black school administrators and teachers are racist against other black, there have to be other answers.

Sowell is a remarkable fellow. He was born into North Carolina Black poverty in 1930 and so turns 90 this year. His family moved to New York City around 1940. Upon graduating from high school, he enlisted in the US Army, rising to the rank of seargent and seeing action during the Korean War. He then attended Harvard and majored in economics. He later claimed that he was a Marxist during his Harvard years. At Harvard, he had a very bad economics lecturer, who made a lot more sense during his office hours. This lecturer advised Sowell to do his PhD at the University of Chicago. He put that advice into effect, finishing his PhD in 1968; George Stigler was his supervisor. A big hobby of Stigler's was the history of economic thought, and Sowell is his most distinguished student in that area. Sowell taught at UCLA for some years; my mentor Roger Kormendi took his hard course in the history of economic thought. For the past 45 years or so, Sowell has been at the Hoover Institution on Stanford's campus. He has written many books (I own a few of them), and is perhaps THE authority on the common sense economics of racial divisions. Sowell is probably the founder of respectable African American conservative social science. Walter Williams was one of his UCLA students. Shelby Steele surely has read Sowell. The right wing black KZfaqr Candace Owens acknowledges Sowell, Williams and Steele as important influences. Sowell may have influenced Glenn Loury. KZfaq reveals that there are pro-Trump blacks. In my Chicago days and elsewhere, I have met very traditionalist blacks, who are full of disdain for the high rates of crime, drug use, single motherhood and carefree sex among African Americans.

This is to be heard by every single human! Even if it takes an adult to explain to young children what he is saying, children would question the education system’s common narrative that people are suppressed because of the colour of their skin. This man has been a light in my life and win a Nobel Prize for wisdom to the masses.

@@AtipicalDelivery there's a difference between telling people what they don't want to hear, and making baseless claims. The claim that Asians over-achieved is meant Asians as a whole...coming to a different country and being successful. You could be a complete waste of air for all we know.

Thomas Sowell is solid gold ! Why has he never won a Nobel prize in economics ? I guess it must be systemic racism and affirmative action.
@tonycatman5 жыл бұрын
It's because he has more integrity than any human alive. He is far too uncompromising to ever fit comfortably into anyone else's "club". (I just finished his autobiography, by the way. It's fantastic, and reminds me of the type of person I want to be)

@spot light I won't piss in your pocket and tell you that blacks aren't descriminated against. I would however fight back against them being descriminated against for no reason. Sorry dude it's hard to interact with a substantial proportion of the black community, and it is easier to just not deal with them at all. Sorry. Thomas Sowell is a nice person, but he is a shit leader for blacks. He just offers Jewish economics in black skin. Black's need to listen to Louis farrakan and pastor manning, and create community for themselves for their own benifit. And they need societial level enforment of behavior standards.

@spot light a race sellout? Maybe Black people are suffering because they are lazy and immortal, stop blaming white people for all the problems
@azomer48564 жыл бұрын
@spot light you obviously have a left wing mindset of race. Blacks are lazy and thats why they suffer, black people who work hard are better off. And your example sucks, Thomas Sowell is ignored because he is a conservative and the left would never let him into the spot light. Just look at all the famous leftwing black comedians and actors and rappers

@@AnarchyEnsues "It's hard to interact with a SUBSTANTIAL portion of the black community..." There are roughly 40 mil black Americans in the US. How many of those 40 mil have you had first hand experience interacting with? We'd have to believe a very high percentage in order for you to seriously make such an assertion about an entire population of people.

When he mentioned Irish are more suitable to work for people rather than doing business. That is so precise. Ireland GDP per capita skyrocketed like crazy during the 90s thanks to the EU bringing in large amount of Foreign Direct Investments. It shows that prior to the EU with not many FDI's coming in and they have to rely on the locals. They were doing fine, but they wasnt as wealthy as other advanced nation. But when new jobs from foreign companies came into the country. They excel like crazy.
