i get the sometime postitive discrepancy between 1864 -1960 blacks and whites . But then if blacks were doing reasonably ok why should the1960s welfare state influence black men and women to poverty more than other groups exposed to the same situation?
@FightingRightyBootlickers-z6t Says:
Sowell is a fraud who ignores the fact that it was Republicans who passed the majority of eugenics based sterilization laws.
@FightingRightyBootlickers-z6t Says:
Thomas Sowell is a clown. His ideas have been debunked by modern science: behavioral economics. Slavery still exists under the 13th Amendment using the so called Justice system of which blacks are disproportionately incarcerated and arrested and charged. Sowell apparently has never read the Constitution. His data is from a time where the data was not credible. The welfare state started long before the 1960s. And currently there are limits to welfare. Milton Friedman was for a UBI and scientific research shows that Sowell's claims about welfare and how it affects people to be nothing but nonsense.

Thomas Sowell uses facts and logic. Why does the left, liberals, and Democratic Party have such a problem with facts and logic ?
@ir6895 Says:
Orphaned as a toddler, unruly teenager, grew up in Harlem, full of anger, dropped out of high school lives in a homeless shelter. It took him going to the military to get out of environment of the dysfunctional society he grew up in. His life almost turned out the way a lot of his Blk peers usually do. He has some buried self hate the way he goes against his own community. He has deep rooted resentment based on his negative early life.
@ir6895 Says:
Calling it slavery is just the wrong label, but to say there weren’t institutionalized practices put in place to break the Blk family up like in the days of slavery is disingenuous. He said it himself. After slavery, there were more Blk families married. What happened and why is what he usually fails to address lest he implicate the side he is on. Pinning it to slavery is a red herring to dismiss it. The welfare state was possible why?

Sowell's work should be taught in every school and every level.
@DrProgNerd Says:
'Basic Economics' by Sowell is one of my favorite books. The average person might see the title and think that it is a book filled with math equations and stale reading - but it is most definitely not that.
It looks at the exercise of individual preference, the allocation of scarce resources, the disastrous concequences of government policy that interupts the market, and the opportunity costs of poor policy.
Great book by a great man.

So let me get this straight, the same party that enslaved people centuries ago, is responsible for the greater ills of said people today....via the mainly Democrat welfare state program as launched by the known racist democrat LBJ who said, "If these n-word are going to vote, we will make sure they vote Democrat for 200 yrs" and he incentivized fatherless homes via their welfare state???

Those who are naturally inclined to listen to all kinds of information, and who have come across Thomas Sowell, imo, have been blessed and are grateful for his work and existence.
He has been a great influence in helping me grow intellectually and understand the society we live in.
He is more than deserving of being spoken about with some of the best influencers of the 20th and 21st centuries.
If you know Jordan Peterson, you must take the time to know Thomas Sowell.

@Mike-ks6qu Says:
I've read all of his books. Literally all of them. They are so cogently written and the way he structures his arguments and then follows up with empirical data makes for easy reads but incredibly informative. Even his most challenging works are still approachable by those unfamiliar with economics or philosophy. His books have fundamentally changed how i view the world and especially the politics surrounding our economy. It was an awakening when i first discovered him.
@valkry007 Says:

This gentleman is one of the most intelligent geniuses of our present day. What impresses me most about him, is when he speaks he deals with facts as you mentioned and not emotions or sentiment. He is no doubt one of the Greats of humankind and I love watching him on YouTube. And what I also love about this man is it, his wealth of knowledge. He is one of the greatest forces to be reckoned with, and the leftists fear him. Awesome video of a truly awesome individual.

Ask yourself : would Trump have won a second term and would civilization have been saved (not due to Trump per se but this election yes) if there were no Tom Sowell ? Think of all the times Charlie Kirk, Jason Reilly, Bob Woodson, Glenn Loury, Candace Owens, Larry Elder etc etc etc have evoked his name in debates these years ... Blacks went from 8% to 15% in the last 4 years... w/out that increase, America's experiment would've likely ended... TY from every America loving heart Professor Sowell

Thank you for getting Thomas Sowell's name out there for everyone to see. His books should be required reading in high schools and in colleges.

Let's be honest and fully aware that progressives started their quest to destroy society decades ago. Why? Because they learned from Christianity that a broken population would always need a savior. This time, they would replace the true Savior with a human savior. Once an undereducated population became dependent upon an elite ruling class and handouts, they could be controlled to vote in favor of those who distributed "welfare". Slavery may have been abolished, but elites figured out a long-term path to a new, far more nefarious slavery. False compassion towards desperate people brought massive wealth generation to the elites that promised justice and community benefit, all while pocketing millions and giving out morsels. They steal from taxpayers through their salaries and through false pretence. Federal and state monies land in the pockets of the program directors, never being passed on to the neglected poor. Just enough trickled out to keep blacks desperate and criminal and reckless. The elites knew desperation would destroy neighborhoods and communities and ultimately the strength of the family structure.
Destruction of the Christian ideal was their method. The end game was unchecked power. Unlike Our Blessed Lord, the True Savior, they don't have mercy or compassion. They despise suffering, especially for others. They prefer us to suffer while they widen the income gap wider every generation. If not for Trump, their dominance would be unmolested and unchallenged. They want AI because they can reinforce their lies and perversion via widespread algorithms, surgically. Their satanic plot has been exposed, thanks to mostly defections of good, decent, truthful ex-democrats. All good people now see the toxicity of the progressive left. It's gone full extremist with shame. Even after being exposed and losing BIG, they won't stop. They won't be deterred because they have nothing to lose. They don't fear God or post-death judgement. This is everything to them, therefore they sell their souls to Satan for power and wealth in this life. Their lack of integrity is staggering and pitiful.
I pray none of you fall for their lies and schemes. They live in a false mentality of unnatural perversion. They are full-blown devils seeking the ruin of your soul. Believe them at peril to your eternity. Choose TRUTH. God seeks relationship with you because love is willing the good of the other. Christ demonstrated what Love truly means. The key to the kingdom of Heaven is the willingness to suffer out of love, even death on a Cross.
Would a progressive die on a Cross for you?

I was a SLAVE! I was in the REAL MILITARY, and became an American Citizen five years after I arrived in America; I went to Vietnam; I was 19, the average age of us who went there. Everyone back then who was in the military was a SLAVE. We lost the protection of the Constitution and traded it for The Uniform Code of MILITARY Justice. The military, back then when we had a military, was sworn to DEFEND AND PROTECT the Constitution. Irony. That protection was torn asunder by Milly and Austin and all the other niggardly military lifers that have helped the evil democrat's/socialist's/communists/just plain shitty people of that ilk, ruining MY COUNTRY/COUNTIRES -- MY BEAUTIFUL SHETLAND IS AS SCREWED UP AS THE REST OF THOSE SCOTTI PEOPLE that are NO LONGER SCOTTISH! But hopefully TRUMPS' win maybe the start to getting back to the country I came to in 1963. HOPEFULLY! I'm sick and tired of not leaving home without weapons; I went to war for America and we fight wars to keep our countries safe SO WE DON'T NEED TO CARRY GUNS!!!

@jamesbarton1969 Says:
They say too many college students don't read books today. Is the inability for opponents of Sowell and others like him to refute what they present in difficult to read books why reading difficult literature has been deemphasized at all levels? If you talk to thesepeople they are totally unable to discuss topics or refute information presented to them. Instead they uncritically rely on what they have been told and all they can do is deny information presented without ever actually refuting it.
