Good day from Nigeria. Blacks world wide conservatives. Facts.

[@frankgradus9474]

You might want to check out Zubi. If you haven't yet.

[@swcordovaf]

The guest is fearless and finally says the facts as they are without veiling his words. Delano is one of the most fearless persons speaking into this culture.

[@twntwrs]

Yes a fearless purveyor of the great afro-american homophobic tradition.

[@scottmitchell1974]

Amen! Hope my daughters find a guy like him.

[@swcordovaf]

@@twntwrs Stating that homosexual unions are not marriage as traditionally and historically defined is not homophobic. It is an accurate statement. He isn’t going around persecuting people but trying to be accurate about words and definitions. Disagreeing with someone doesn’t make them an -ist or a -phobic. Name calling is a low level move. Debate him and his ideas but calling him a name is a sign of losing the argument.

[@amitb.e.5244]

@swcordovaf I agree that name-calling is not an acceptable rhetorical move, and that you ought to debate ideas you don't like rather than attack the people that hold them. So let's actually talk about it: In our society, there are certain legal and social benefits that come with recognized unions ("marriage"). For example, married couples get certain tax benefits, and socially they have legitimacy (premarital sex and non-marital arrangements were deemed socially unacceptable). Homosexual couples understandably want to have same-sex unions be socially considered to be just like traditional "marriages" - they want to enjoy the same legal and social benefits that heterosexual unions provide you in society. This is part of what it is to live in a secular society: laws and social tolerance are not based on any religious framework. To the extent that "marriage" is considered a religious concept, it can't be the benchmark for what is legally and socially acceptable in a secular society - hence it needs to be secularized. You can secularize it by saying: "the thing that we legally and socially recognize is a civil union between two people who are committed to living together as intimate partners and functioning in society as a couple". If you don't want to call that "marriage" for religious reasons, then fine, call it a civil union. But in that case, just realize that legally and socially, "marriage" is going to be treated as just one form of recognized civil union, just like any other - not the only acceptable form of union. We can get into which types of union are and aren't acceptable if we want: - opposite-sex partners - same-sex partners - 2 partners - 3 or more partners - unions that involve children - bestiality - etc. But I'll pause for now and see what your reply is.

Playing the devils advocate so well is what makes Glenn the IMHO best interviewer I've heard.

[@milesmungo]

Yes. I think doing that requires one to be listening intently, as well as thinking clearly.

[@dpm2515]

He's a great interviewer its a lost art.

[@tag5104]

Devil's advocate...check out the Richard Wolff interview. Glenn nearly came out of his shorts. Dick Wolff ate his lunch.

Let's get Mr. Squires back on the Glenn show ASAP! Best conversation I've heard in months.

[@janetmcabney6837]

Delano Squires. BRILLIANT mind. I am very persuaded on many points. Original ideas so eloquently expressed! Would love to hear more from Delano. Huge respect for this man.

[@JoeKepler-lh4lu]

There is exactly nothing original or brilliant in Squires's ideas. Read any christian fundamentalist, black or white, since the second Great Awakening in the United States, and you will see his ideas. He's repeating stuff that fundamentalists have been saying for two hundred and twenty years. Nothing original here. And nothing fundamentalist is brilliant either.

[@twntwrs]

Gays back in the closet and women back in the kitchen "original ideas so eloquently expressed". Lol.

Delano Squires is an American hero

[@MrJimwinder]

The Designer is the Definer. That’s all we need to know. Well done good and faithful servant.

[@tsuich00i]

I was already convinced of Loury´s brilliance, but my god, he is well matched by the excellent Mr. Squires. Not to suggest they are antagonists though, on the contrary, I think deep down Glenn is closer to Delano than he cares to admit. It was fascinating from start to finish to hear both of them exchange their ideas. I condemn the podcast only for how short it was! I could have easily listened for another two-three hours. Please bring him back on very soon. We need to hear more voices like these two esteemed gentlemen who are all to rare in these truly moronic times. Keep fighting the good fight, lord knows we need you guys!

[@lee399]

@Frenchy's Philisophy, yes Glenn is closer to Delano in beliefs due to reality and experience. However, he is trapped by family ties abs having to maintain a certain decorum for the sake of relationship.

[@Relayer56]

Brilliant on the part of Delano! Best I’ve heard yet. Big thanks to Glenn Loury for having him on!!

[@capfirst2]

[@kimj5037]

I'm very much on the liberal/left side of most issues, but I have mad respect for Mr Squires. I would happily sit down and converse today's issues with him all day/any day, over any of those woke lefties.

[@chrisb1805]

He nailed it around 27:00 minutes into it. Much of the depression and mental issues are around trying to fight the natural order of things.

[@chrisb1805]

Better white people. That was funny.

[@katwells6278]

Exactly

[@frankgradus9474]

It's on purpose. It's been social engineering and nudge theory at play here. I'm afraid there is yet worse to come. "Cute Authoritarianism", Ewan Morrison - well worth a read.

[@stvbrsn]

It is a tough nut to crack, no doubt about it. After all, we’ve been trying to fight the natural order of things since the agricultural revolution of the Neolithic. So… 8,000 years (this following hundreds of thousands of years as hunter/foragers) of “enculturation.” I’d say “domestication” is a more apt description, but that’s a whole case of cans of worms.
