Got in 96 percentile in Math. My black friend (who got 80% percentile) and who literally lived next door. And who had 2 parents & way more money than me with a single mom raising me. He got a full ride scholarship & I got nothing. We were on the same wrestling team & I was a 2x sectional champ and state finalist. He has a 500 record. We live in the north & i have no ancestor that was anywhere near slavery. My grandparents were all in Ireland

I lost out on a job due to affirmative action. I found out later from people I had worked with that the only reason they hired the lady they did hire was because she was Mexican. The lady couldn't handle her duties, she was a new hire and she could barely speak any English. It really hurt at the time because I had just gotten married and need the full time hours. To bad though. Apparently they needed more diversity more than they needed a good worker.

Are there any more gems like this that we can unearth? Sowell is such a learned and convincing individual. He should have been an advisor to every administration that has existed in his lifetime. Robinson has an interviewing style that keeps a tight focus on the subject at hand. His interviews are compelling and they keep the interview moving along. He knows when to respectfully "jump in" to elucidate a term, acronym or expression that might otherwise go over the head of (frankly) people like me.

Thanks for digging this one out of archives. 23:00. Mr. Sowell articulates the once common sense notion of the role of elected public servants better than I have heard in 20 years. And, of course was early enough and right about elected officials’ taking a policy that was widely recognized as a failure and rolling it over instead of trying something else. A real counterpoint to another video I saw this am from Hoover of Bill Buckley’s interview of JK Gall-bwraith. Ouch.

In India this has gotten so bad, that every group even if historically affluent is violently agitating to qualify for affirmative action. STEM seats are subject to 50% reservation. This is leading to our best and brightest either being left behind, or moving out of the country.

Not long ago I spoke with a young woman, an engineer at a German-owned firm in Troy, MI, who grew up in Bangladesh. I noted an "auto-rosary" on the rearview mirror in her car and she said was Catholic. I asked how many Catholics there are in that country, she said about a half a million (out of, I believe, over 150 million ). I was stunned. Then she said this. The Muslim elites send their children to Catholic schools. I was really stunned (and I had been the sole non-Catholic graduate of a Catholic school myself). In this country, at least when I graduated from Bishop Foley HS in 1970, Catholic schools were still for the working classes; that included this son of Hazard, KY parents. My father's father was a coal miner. Now my old school is $11,000 a year, not a few hundred dollars, and over 1/3 are non-Catholic and the students, Catholic and non-Catholic, are more likely to be the children of Ford executives. Affirmative action cannot overcome culture. I connected strongly with J.D. Vance and his elegy for my people. His book was praised, the film was not. Words are one thing, images another. As Dr. Sowell knows, there is a parallel black culture. America is a tragic country, and increasingly an absent-minded and reckless one.

I believe that Brennan said that, although neither the words of the Civil Rights Act nor its legislative history would allow the affirmative discrimination at issue in the Weber case, the "spirit" of the law did. I must have missed the day in law school where courts would even try to ascertain the "spirit" of a law let alone allow the "spirit" to override the express wording and legislative history of a statute.

South Africa probably has the largest and most useless civil service compared to the tax base of any other country in the world.

You should help weaker persons. This is our cultural Christian DNA. What you should not do put the weakest persons before the majority. This will corrupt the whole system. Since the weak will fear a right to be above the needs of majority. They will develop better and become the mass not being able to sustain the society. It is a Ambivalenz.

India has one of most successful affirmative action programs... Through affirmative action people(majority) who were historically denied education could get college degrees and when India changed its policy from socialism to liberalism in 1991 India could afford more employees for the MNCs and that’s how Indians became more techie people...😂... Within 30 years 400-500 million Indians were brought out of poverty...

Most likely he's traveled there for first hand information. He doesn't take the jaded interpretations of government historians shading the truth.
