He's a c00n because he knowingly preaches a false narrative about the socio-economic plight of African Americans to a White audience for financial gain/Celebrity. Anyone who discusses the socio-economic plight of African Americans from the 50s onward while dismissing how Blacks were affected by redlining and the war on drugs, but making a big deal about welfare, is obviously either completely ignorant or intellectually dishonest. If the majority of Americans' predominant source of generational wealth comes from the value of their home, minimizing the effects of redlining (Which wasn't abolished until the 70s) is at best intellectually dishonest. No doubt Sowell is intelligent, it just makes him look even more guilty.

There's a reason you don't see debates or interviews by the black contemporaries of his day.
He rarely does interviews because he doesn’t want to be famous, so that’s nonsense.

He’s known because he’s recognized as the most highly respected American economist of the past 50 years regardless of your political affiliation.

The only people I’ve ever seen have an issue with him are “Black” people butt hurt because he doesn’t continually blame “white people” for the failures of your family.

Victimization has been embedded into Black American culture and it’s sad.

You actually have “Black” people born after 2000 running around today talking about racism when in all actuality if your family was still fukked up in 2000, it’s their own fault probably due to substance abuse, lack of motivation, drive, and common sense.

biden is out here talm bout "this is how capitalism works" when refering to shareholders taking risks by buying shares of SVB

bytch, these clients took a risk too when they put their money in SVB. the difference is you cant cover the orders of magnitude losses on the stock market like you can for deposits

if we're protecting people from risks, protect people living paycheck to paycheck by capping interest rates on lending products like payday loans and car loans. i dont care how bad your credit is. no one should be paying above 30% APR on a car. fukk outta here. protect CHILDREN who are entering college with student loans and come out never being able to pay for it... make education affordable like in other civilized countries. hell, even developing countries have more affordable education.

Funny, there are numerous videos of Sowell in debates and interviews. Dude was never shy, so please stop. Most blacks are clueless of Sowell because blacks were never his intended audience. If he weren't black, he'd be long forgotten like all the other Milton Friedman understudies. Again, why does he refuse to discuss the war on drugs, which even John Erlichmann (Domestic Policy Chief for Nixon) was quoted for saying Nixon created it to antagonize Blacks and Hippies? Who does the war on drugs affect most? With it came civil assrt Forfeiture which affects black males more than any other demographic. Back to Redlining, my siblings and I are the first generation to choose where we buy a home without a Bank steering us into less valuable areas. Im sorry you drank the Sowell Kool-aid, but you are always welcome to the cookout regardless.

It's really disturbing the amount of GUYS out here who can't agree to disagree and if your ideas don't fall 100% inline with what they deem as "acceptable" they'll label you as a slur. Very very childish.

Yeah, the Biden blaming is wild.

It got nothing to do with him really.

If people who own the stock lost money and are upset, you can't blame someone else for the decision you made to buy that stock.

Again, it's called due diligence and in some cases, you can't blame people for your gambling habit. Should have thrown it into an index fund or something.

Yo between Lack of Universal healthcare and the fragmented banking system in America I find it odd that y'all still holding on to that developed country status.

This shyt should not be happening today. That's why our banking was consolidated in Canada probably in the years after the great depression and runs on the bank.

When you’re considered the top of your field, you will be called upon to give your insights.

He was called upon so much in his younger days that he started making people wait years just to sit down with him and he’s declined interviews with every major news outlet for 15 - 20 years.

That doesn’t sound like someone that wants to be famous.

He’s 92 now.

All those clips you see are him in his 30s - 50s for the most part.

Cut it out.

The if he weren’t Black comment let’s me know all I need to about you and your opinion.

I love how guys want to promote Sowell, but God forbid they have to actually debate his talking points. Then all you get is silence.

There’s nothing to debate.

This is what has some of you so upset and that’s good.

You should be because he’s right



I really don’t give a shyt about his opinions on social stuff, it’s almost wasteful having him focus on it

Nah. Thomas Sowell put in a lot of effort into earning that c00n label. He’s not even an economist.
