Recorded on May 13, 2022, at the Old Parkland Conference in Dallas, Texas.
If there were a Mount Rushmore of American Black intellectuals, the three guests on this show would certainly be on it: Glenn Loury is a professor of the social sciences in the Department of economics at Brown, a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, and the host of his wildly successful podcast, The Glenn Show. Ian Rowe is the cofounder of Vertex Partnership Academies and the author of the new book Agency: The Four Point Plan (F.R.E.E.) for ALL Children to Overcome the Victimhood Narrative and Discover Their Pathway to Power. Robert Woodson is the founder of the Woodson Center, an organization devoted to “empowering community-based leaders to promote solutions that reduce crime and violence, restore families, revitalize underserved communities, and assist in the creation of economic enterprise.” In this wide-ranging conversation, the three men debunk The 1619 Project, advocate for the restoration of the Black family and the Black church, describe their own very different upbringings and formative experiences, and discuss the many reasons why they are optimistic about the future of Black Americans, despite the narrative commonly expressed in the media.

The Cofounder of Apple graduated in the same class with me from the Univ of California at Berkeley. One of the key reasons for my ability to compete in undergraduate and graduate school started early on when my mother and father would go to great lengths, multiple times, to pull me out of poor performing, violent schools and get me into better schools; but they had to fight to do it. It frustrates me to no end why the overwhelming majority of Blacks tolerate, even support leaders without question, who have pushed policies and laws for years that weaken traditional marriage and school choice and other things important to the success of Black families.

They are too level headed and nuanced. Unfortunately it is not knowledge or competence that gets you into a power position, you need strong elbows and an empty conscience. Here we have three scholars with deep knowledge and strong morals that don't fit that mold.

And all of you are among those outstanding, brave patriots. Thank you so very much.

When Bob Woodson mentioned the Navy's black officer candidate commissioning discrimination incident, and how despite the manifest unfairness of the Navy, the black candidates excelled, it instantly reminded me of the Tuskeegee Airmen story. The first black American military pilots excelled in the protection of our bomber formations against German fighter attacks and established an excellent reputation among white bomber crews in the European theater. After the war, the newly formed US Air Force initiated a service-wide fighter ground attack competition at Las Vegas AFB (now Nellis) and called it "Top Gun". The Tuskeegee pilots won the competition. Their victory so embarrassed the Air Force brass that they covered the whole thing up and refused to publicize the results in the press. Seventy years later the Air Force Association finally rectified that past injustice by prominently erecting a commemorative plaque at Nellis memorializing the Tuskeegee pilots' remarkable achievement. Justice delayed is justice denied. One of those black pilots who had flown on that remarkable Top Gun team, LtCol James Harvey, is still sharp and proud at age 96. He lives in the Denver area and is one of the most respected members of our Denver "Mile High Flight" of the Daedalians Society, a fraternity of US military pilots, navigators, flight officers, and flight surgeons founded in 1935.

Sex education has normalized fornication to the point were we accept it as way of life. Pre 1960 how many people waited until marriage? Nowadays how many wait? There’s a reason fornication is a sin in all religions. It’s has a sever impact on the ability for stable family units.

I agree with Ian. The issue is not the poor performance of black children in education, but the poor performance of American children across the board. The problem was identified decades ago. Since then, it has become worse. What government is offering children is not education at all, but indoctrination. It turns out that poor education outcomes are more or less color blind. It's just plain bad for most children.

After all we've been through over the last several years, hearing this conversation felt like a small healing in my heart. I felt lighter. Less like I was insane and "hateful". (Hateful because I dared to feel that there is more to this structure of what and why African Americans are facing such a crisis of suffering in our world than what has become the monolithic accepted narrative) At the same time as I listened to these brilliant men I was frightened. In fear that not only might this video disappear but that people like them might as well.

Thank you gentlemen for sharing your philosophy, ideas and intelligence. I agree the government cannot correct the problems. I teach children in school and the children do not show racism. They are friends, working together and finding unity in many areas. Teachers work hard to provide the support children need. We do see that families who are united, stable and working with their children are so helpful. I noticed that as the children reach accountability at age 8 the responsibility teachers are encouraging more self-control, responsibility, and looking for ways to identify the strengths of each child. I agree the family, church, community are so vital. Benjamin Franklin shared that our form of government relies on a moral people. I agree. I was raised by parents who were both deaf, and low educated. They had common sense. I realize there came a point I took responsibility not to be a victim but to work for a goals that I wanted. It took a while for me to overcome victim mentality about age 24 and I woke up. I forgave, I set goals and worked on my weaknesses. When I was in school and they knew my parents were deaf no one wanted to say much. I had to realize the opportunity was there I had to change myself and my mindset, my education, my hopes and dreams. Now I have raised seven outstanding children - 6 college educated and one a self made businessman. I realize my dreams for my children so wonderful. It does not matter our skin color but our hearts and minds and choices we make.

Thomas Sowell was such a great thinker. His intelligent common sense was so powerful. These 3 gentlemen are a breath of fresh air. Way too often, laws intended to help issues have only succeeded in worsening them: minimum wage is one example, and yet that continues to drive the economy deeper into problems. Recent philosophies also seem to be increasing, rather than decreasing division and hate.
