Thomas Sowell ~ Enough Said

Elections should be held on April 16th- the day after we pay our income taxes. That is one of the few things that might discourage politicians from being big spenders. ~ Thomas Sowell

What a Great Black Intellectual

[7beers]

I actually teared up a bit watching this. Sowell's mind is a thing of exquisite, breathtaking beauty. What a jewel of a human being.

He's not playing the race card. If he was, he'd be trying to get supports because he's black. He's talking about the unfairness of playing the race card.

As for society, the people who tend to segregate themselves are, oddly enough, the black community. Think about what white teenagers listen to. Country, rock, rap...everything, from any origin, black or white. What do black teenagers listen to? Rap. So who's segregating?

@merciless15ify I was purposefully suggesting something that shouldn't ever be actually done, which if you read my whole comment you'd know. It's irrelevant what the laws of the land or the laws of physics are, when using such a device.

The point was that you want Harvard to consider race because it would help you and I countered that I'd like it if they did everything to help me instead of you, even if you're more academically qualified, but that doesn't mean they should do it.

@PuuMastaFunk The race card? Sowell is playing the race card, you're playing the race card. You're just disappointed that i don't agree with your views. Truth is black and whites are already segregated. Talking about the way society is does not make me a racist. I used to believe we're all the same and race is something stupid to talk about but here we are watching a video about race. If it race didn't matter this video would not exist.

@mazerrackham001 Harvard only considering 1 race and not the other is segregation, and thats against the law, so your statement doesnt make any sense. Are you trying to say only your rigor of secondary school record should be the only factor in your admission or what

[merciless15ify]

@PuuMastaFunk i didn't say my ethnicity should be an important admission factor i just said i would not mind them considering it.

 What is your main point, is it that them considering race as an admission factor is unfair or what?

Thomas Sowell is quite simply the man! He is one of my few "go to" guys, like Charles Krauthammer. Dr Sowell used to be a Marxist BTW. That tells you that he has come to his current position through much thought. Most conservatives are former liberals. It's called maturity. Can anybody tell me if Oprah has ever had Dr Sowell on? If Oprah truly cared about black people, she would have had a panel consisting of black men like Dr Sowell, Walter Williams, Larry Elder etc on discussing welfare etc.

@mxzysptlik

What has experience taught you? That certain white men are racist bigots? Duh. But my experiences have taught me that there are black racist bigots, too. You're thinking that, because he used the adjective "black", he must be racist. I agree that it's unnecessary, but not racist, and people like you who play the race card keep racism from dissolving itself. You're a racist, yourself, by claiming blacks can't trust whites, as if we're our own segregated cults.

[mxzysptlik]

@PuuMastaFunk My experiences have taught me otherwise.

@WhereHawksFly *Far left is Communism. My bad.

[PuuMastaFunk]

@WhereHawksFly

Actually, just really quickly, I wanted to point out that the far right isn't Republic of law, it's anarchy (dystopianism), complete and absolute removal of government, and the far right is Communism (utopianism), complete and absolute control of government. Just thought I'd point that out.
