I've never heard anyone claim Blacks were the only ones enslaved. The bible itself had slaves mentioned. So, isn't this a straw man argument? Has MLK Jr, Abolishonists and others in American history ever make that claim? It's ALWAYS been about America and its slavery. Trying to say 'well, there was slavery everywhere and in history' as a response to Americans enslaving people is tantamount to an American rapist saying 'Well, rape existed throughout history and everywhere'. Sowell has a brilliant mind, which makes him a brilliant gaslighter. It takes a very special person to try and nuance and remove the abject savagery and cruelty of his own ancestors. You don't see any Jew reducing the brutality of the holocaust. Nor any Armenian of theirs. Or any southerner of the brutality of Sherman. Yet, Sowell does for his very own ancestors.. Amazing. You really have to have zero love of self to be that. It's sociopathic PS: This coon who is trying to get white folks to love him needs to go.

    Dr Darity even said he don’t know what reality Sowell lives in lol.
    Crazy thing is that Kevin Samuels looked up to Thomas Sowell and said we all need to read his work..

    Sowell is from Harlem. He was an adult during the civil rights struggle. He got into Harvard at a time when they were only letting a couple blacks and some Jews in (late 50s). He was once a Marxist actually. There is also zero evidence he was part of the Civil Rights movement. He's been paid by white right wing think tanks his whole life.

    He doesn't f*ck with Dr. Cornell West and he was a contemporary of elite teacher Dr. John Henrik Clarke, he wouldn't f*ck with him either. He truly hates his own skin. Its the only thing I can think of. He is in his 90s now and knows after he's gone white folks will treat him like Herman Cain. No more use so no more mention.

    This guy was so coon he said that blacks would riot if Obama wasn't re-elected (2012) because we'd lose our food stamps and welfare. He said it with a straight face and doubled down. He also ranked Obama as the worst president in U.S. history.

    Obama didn't do this for black people, but, the bar being low as it is, he is usually ranked in the third of all presidents. F*ck Sowell.

    Any Black person that feels like imperialism actually helps us is dead to me. He feels like European colonialism was a net positive on the world and that it has benefited Africa. He makes no mention of the kleptocracy and how Europe keeps the global south in a depressed state.

    Clear case of self loathing. He scrubbed the internet of any vestige of his personal life. We really need a purge.

    So much of his statements can be countered. He would sometimes say 'In the 1950s black teen unemployment was much lower than white teens"
    But if we examine it closer, it makes sense for all the WRONG reasons. Post WW2 was an economic boom. The white middle class exploded. The GI Bill, post war boom. The baby boomers got their name from that period. 10s of 1000s of soldiers came home in 1946 and they got married and had kids. Ford, Boeing, bunch of large companies were hiring big time. Suburbs sprung up.

    Anyway, the white kids didn't have to work as much. Pre WW2 was the Great Depression, they all had to work. Post WW2 they moved into working and middle class. The black middle class grew a lot as well but no where close to the whites. So, black teens had to work. White kids didn't have to hence the explanation for the unemployment rates of black teens lower.

    Sowell knows this. But it gaslights things. Furthermore, when he talks about pre 60s and blacks were married 75 percent households and blah blah out of wedlock kids. He is signaling during Jim Crow blacks were better.

    Ahh.....my counter to that is Black families were in more 2 parent homes but....
    1. They couldn't vote in the south.
    2. There was legal segregation in the south and we were routinely lynched. In the north blatant red lining, blacks were not allowed to walk through the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria. No matter how much money you had you weren't getting an apartment outside of black areas (Harlem, Flatbush, etc).

    Of course we want 2 parent families, but how the f*ck is having 2 parents and you can still be lynched, redlined, etc. ? How was life better? I can agree with him about white liberals making policies that split up the black families, but if you asked him, so what was the Republican solution?

    It was literally "we ain't doing shit". You make it how you can, we ain't gonna stop shit that happens to you. He doesn't say that. He's a fraud. A brilliant but a fraud nonetheless.

    Sorry, now that I'm on a roll. haha I've had white Republicans try to gaslight me on Larry Elder, Candace Owens and Thomas Sowell.
    (white boy voice) "C'mon dude, they are saying they want blacks to stop killing each other, be married to have kids, so what's wrong with that? But because they are Republican?"

    I respond with, "And blacks don't want that? Also, there is no difference in views on the family between Larry Elder and Louis Farrakhan. None. Both advocate traditional 2 family homes and the rest. Except, one spends his time actually working for and with the black community to change things and the other works for and with white people telling them about black people. So, who should we be listening to again? And the larger question is if Louis Farrakhan and others are saying the same thing and working within the black community, then why are white conservatives against them?"

    At this point they start deflecting and white-splaining. Real talk though. Jason Black advocates the same thing. Tariq is living the traditional family structure. But white folks are anti both.

    I don't know where to begin... 1. We all know that slavery isn't exclusive to just us. Anybody with basic knowledge of world history knows this... 2. Mentioning slavery by the Barbary pirates in Africa has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with chattel slavery here in the U.S... 3. We're not talking about slavery reparations for everybody. So why even mention that stupidity in the first place? 4. This is the same strawman argument that white supremacists use when the very mention of slavery or reparations come up in conversation. This dark-skinned white supremacist needs to just be quiet. In the words of Willie D, "Ya Momma should be embarrassed and ya Daddy should'a pulled out!"

    Obama was bad for black people but he isn't even close to being the worse president ever. He is far better than both Bushes and Clinton. That said, I'd never vote for him (or his opponent). There is Trump...Nixon...Hoover (who the Great Depression started under) and Obama is the worse ever?
    Sowell hates Obama for a myriad of reasons none of it reasonable

    The only thing about Uncle Tom err I mean Thomas Sowell I can respect is that umm nothing I got nothing. That man has been cooning his whole life.
    Oh no... don't give him the pleasure of calling him an "Uncle Tom"... in the book Uncle Tom's Cabin, Uncle Tom was a hero for 1. Not snitching on some escaped slaves, 2. not beating other slaves, and 3. getting beaten to death for not snitching and not beating other slaves... Thomas Sowell would have snitched AND whipped other slaves if he was in that time...

    Thomas Sowell attempt to normalize American / Western Slavery

    And here is how you counter this. First of all, slavery is wrong. However, slavery was being practiced by the Arabs pre Islam and they continued after. Islam didn't outlaw it, it just codified it. Moslems were not allowed enslave another moslem and there were Islamic rules on how you treat slaves.

    What makes European slavery different is that, it was wrong in their religion, Christianity. The Arabs, Chinese others who enslaved, it was okay in their religion and culture. It was NOT in Christianity. The new testament does not allow Christians to enslave other peoples. So, when the Europeans started enslaving Africans they knew they were violating Christian doctrine. THAT is the big difference.

    Sowell knows this but doesn't make that distinction. Also, he is normalizing the enslavement of his own ancestors. How sick do you have to be?

    Lastly, he (and whites) would never commit that same energy to the holocaust and genocide. Genocide was normal at the time of the Holocaust. About 25 years prior the Armenians had a genocide in Turkey in the early 1900s. At the same time the Nazis were committing genocide the Japanese were doing similar all over Asia. In fact, the Japanese were so savage in Nanking, China, the Nazi Germany embassy helped move about 250,000 Chinese out to save them. When you make a Nazi say 'damn, you doing too much' its more than bad. There have genocides since the Holocaust. Now, that is a fact. But you will never, ever hear Sowell use the same energy to say that. Only about his own people.

    He’s from a different generation and that self-hate thing along with colorism was very strong for his generation. Integrating made him lose his mind. He wasn’t psychologically prepared for it and his demons took over.

    The counter to the BS above.

    Sowell is a liar by omission. First of all he makes a straw man argument. No black person ever who talks about slavery in America has ever said slavery didn't exist in other areas of the world and that whites were never enslaved anywhere or Blacks didn't enslave either other Blacks or even Whites.

    So, why does he talk about this when its not an issue? It's a strawman argument.

    Okay, so let's dive in and do a deep dive. Sowell lies here by omission. How? Slavery among Arabs was cultural. They had slaves prior to Islam and all Islam did was codify the institution of slavery. That's it. Slavery was a continual thing among Arabs and later non Arab moslems (Moors, etc) who adopted it from the Arabs. It's not right but they were already practicing it. The big difference after Islam was that you were not allowed to enslave another Moslem. Prior to Islam they enslaved anyone including other Arabs.

    The 'West' or specifically white Europeans both in Europe and in the Americas. were NOT engaged in slavery prior to the 1500s. When the Roman Empire conquered Europe and converted to Christianity they were following New Testament principles which were that Christians didn't enslave. Eventually slavery in Roman Europe changed from slavery to serfdom. Serfdom was a form of economic slavery to some extent but they were not slaves by definition. So while Arabs converted to Islam which made enslavement easier and a huge institution. Europe had totally disbanded slavery. The early church was against slavery. The teaching of Christianity by the catholic church was against slavery. It was against Christianity at the time to enslave someone, you converted someone by works and love. The Pope and Europeans knew it was wrong to start slavery and that's why they made papal edicts and changed how Christianity was interpreted to accommodate slavery.

    THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE. The Moslems didn't see slavery as wrong. The Europeans saw it as wrong at the time and changed Christianity to justify it.
    Sowell knows this and doesn't say it by omission.

    Finally, Sowell's own ancestors were enslaved on the killing fields of the American south and he justifies it by de facto. It takes a complete self hating, mentally disturbed person who knows full well how his ancestors were brutalized and lesson the brutality of it by straw man arguments. The man is sick. Brilliant mind, but sick.
