Everything Wrong With The Black Community in 12 Minutes || Thomas Sowell Reacts

I wish more people knew about tom sowell.

Based off this 12 min it appears he is speaking more of his personal experience where as a it's missing some major key factors he didn't say where the fathers were at -jail

Toxic culture that caters to the lowest common denominator of humanity: sex, drug use, lack of responsibility towards family, just saying you're sorry will fix everything, getting fat and thinking a wig and long fingernails will make you look like a supermodel, having children and giving them to somebody else to raise, thinking all white people owe you something, blaming white people for all of your problems, killing far more of each other every day than white people ever have, wishing you could be white, starting a business and giving up as soon as things get a little difficult,… did I leave anything out?

This guy is 94. …wow. sharp

Why aren't the Black listening to Mr. Sowell?

The Diddy parties will rewrite history.

I'm no longer progressive. I've spent 45 of my 51 years blindly identifying as a Democrat. As I've gained knowledge and wisdom, I realize how much I've been manipulated. At my core, I believe in "personal accountability." Sure, there are systems in place to society running smoothly. And yes, those systems aren't designed for the masses to prosper. However, nothing stops an individual from excelling if he or she has a plan and discipline. The Democratic Party likes to give its supporters an easy out, always pointing outward on why you're not successful.

The problem was black people glorifying the slums and ghetto, elevating them to authentic status whereas successful articulate blacks where called uncler Tom's of villified as Oreos , black outside white inside.

There is no such thing as "fatherlessness." Every child has a father! There are just too many neglectful or abandoning fathers.
"Like father – Like son" applies also when the father abandons his children.

This is stupid and backwards. People who are better off financially are often able to maintain relationships and marriages not the other way around. Those people would have been financially better off had they been married or not.
Asian people often come to this country with a little money and also receive help from the government to start businesses that often receive cash money for which they do not pay all of the taxes required on. That is why it is common for Asian households to have safes filled with money. Asian people also do not face the job discrimination that many Black people do because of the stereotype that that Asians are smart.
Again this is stupid and backward.

Its fascinating to know that up until a few years ago BILL COSBY had as much respect amongst people as Mr. Sowell and was a lot funnier 😮!

Zionist money is corrupting the minds of black people as a way to sabotage their ability to compete against white owned companies.

Because white supremacy is so worried about keeping blacks subjugated, the let the Asians get richer than them

…they just cant get that they're interlopers…the plague can't have a place either

I live where there are black Americans with ancestry as deep back as anyone, as well as black Caribbeans & Africans who just got here. There is a startling difference in culture not based on race, but simply on ethic, choice, & purpose. We all have genetic differences, it's culture, experience & teaching not genes that motivates us to be who we are.

The toxic culture is tied to the race, since we see toxic culture in Africa too, and anywhere else with sizeable African population. Just because there is a small minority of blacks who don't subscribe to it, it doesn't mean it's just a culture thing.

Look at muslims – 65% support or empathize with terrorism. I'd say it's similar with blacks, which is why Islam is more of a dark skinned based religion.

That’s 2 different problems.

The part where the father didn't eat so his children could have enough food got to me.

I'm certain Mr Sowell's work is not featured in BLM reading lists

I noticed that Mr Sowell left out some very important information, l don't know if it was on purpose or not. Because wars depleted most of black male population especially during the 60s . Racism has played a huge role in poverty

Yes, confirmantion bias is real and works both ways. You look for evidence that debunks inflenuce of racism on poverty while the left looks for the opposite.
Family income is not the only predictor of poverty. What do you say about the discriminatory reagan anti-drug law of 1986 and how it disproportionately incarcerated black men. He seems ro blame everything on the social policies of LBJ, which by the way i do not support. What about the closure of most inner city technical skill trainings that most blacks relied on to earn a living without needing to get a college degree. How did that influence black poverty?

Sowell is an impressive and innovative writer and reseacher. I disagree with his argument most of the time, but I don't often doubt his earnestness.

Smart
