Thomas Sowell: Speech From the 1980 Fairmont Conference (EXCLUSIVE FULL)

[@OneEyedKeys]

It is tragic that America possesses one of the greatest philosophers, economists, sociologists and researchers of all historical time, and he is so largely ignored. Sadder still, is that he was a Harlem raised black American and so few African Americans know little about him. This man should have statues, schools, scholorships and roads named after him.

[@3N2sw]

I agree and it's unfortunate that Dr. Sowell's messages and ideas aren't currently prevalent today. It's hard to point out what the reasons are and I hate to assume what they are, but my guess is because his message of self-sufficiency, thinking on your own, using and understanding hard facts isn't popular among the mass media nor does it appeal to young people today. If there's one good thing I've got out of KZbin, it's my recent discovery of Dr. Sowell and others who fall in his class of intellectual mavericks.

This is a sad truth. Thomas Sowell is often ignored by those in the mainstream. To buck that trend, make sure to watch our film "Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World." kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXyXfmyff9eaqtE

[@PayNoTax-GetNoVote]

They'd just tear those statues down too because he supported "Whyte Supremacy"....ahhhhhh, no, he realized one he got away from the pointy headed Marxists (he was one, an intellectually honest one) in academia that Western Culture IS better and Socialism/Communism/Marxism doesn't work.

[@xmaverickhunterkx]

He is the complete antithesis of what they want to portray. And he is a real example of how education cures Marxism too.

[@OneEyedKeys]

@@xmaverickhunterkx I just finished ''Conquests and culture'', and it was my 6th or 7th book of his I have been through. It was, as always, a wonderful eye opener. What a BEAST of a researcher, writer and intellect.

Please share this with all our black brothers and sisters ❤️

Brilliant man. And the wonderful thing is how he progressed from a liberal to a conservative. He grew older and wiser.

[@georgee7257]

Actuallly from a Marxist to a conservative believe it or not

[@Baron_Blue_Max]

@@georgee7257 I was just going to say that. One Summer working for the government was enough to change his mind! lol

Liberal means defending Freedom and Liberty not leftism

[@Adfu.]

The fact that he was so ignored by all bureaucracies only reinforces the truth of his words. Thank you 🙏🏽Thomas Sowell, for everything you have dedicated toward sharing knowledge to the people.

[@damiangrouse4564]

Brilliant gentleman

Indeed. Make sure to stream "Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World" to learn more about Sowell! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXyXfmyff9eaqtE

[@genege6301]

Yep, he has been talking about this since 1980s, Milton Friedman has been at it since 1960s, people don't listen.

[@doctorwoohoo1152]

"The real trick is to rob Peter to pay Paul on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and rob Paul to pay Peter on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Fortunately, the government is closed on Sunday." Legendary.

[@RagnarLothbrok2222]

Sowell is a great man, a hero of mine!

[@freetochoosenetwork]

A great intellectual and an even better person!

[@davidgamboa9567]

I need to listen to this speech again. Absolutely brilliant!

[@RyanLasek]

Such an eloquent speaker. He is definitely the best representative of conservative/libertarian thought to people of different political persuasions.

[@FatherAndTeacherTV]

I'm so grateful for this channel! I can share videos like these with my children in the next decade as they grow into teenagers. Maybe they will grow into carrying on the ideas and work of thinkers, such as Sowell and Dr. Walter Williams.

[@pepelepew3478]

I would recommend you get a faithful memory stick and download into it the videos you want to keep. Most people complain about the censorship, while I think we are going into a divide where these platforms will be just brain laundromats.

[@freetochoosenetwork]

Oooooohhhh man. If he was as young now as he was then... he'd be TEARING IT UP!!!

[@fromthecountryburris1520]

Even in his 90s, he is STILL as Sharp as a tack!!!

[@thanksfernuthin]

@@fromthecountryburris1520 He definitely is but he's not interested in the fight anymore. Sadly. And it's easy to understand why.

[@amichiganblackman3200]

@@thanksfernuthin he's passed the torch, though. All of the black conservatives today exist because of all the work he did for decades. He has deserved a rest.

[@raxitkansagra2520]

Yes, but they are not as sharp as thomas sowell is.

[@johnnyhensler4967]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING. 🇺🇸

Thank you for watching!

[@micahkelly3245]

Thanks for this

[@John3_16andthensome]

Absolutely love Thomas Sowell....from day one when I first discovered him!

[@airconlover]

absolutely fantastic

[@characarosandi1589]

Can we please get more of Thomas Sowell 🙏

[@FredHenry1850]

Outstanding!

[@kimj5037]

"The issue is not that the government gives too much help to the poor. The problem is that the government creates too much harm to the poor." Absolutely brilliant man!! I've heard a few critics claim that Thomas Sowell is an unfeeling libertarian who doesn't care about the poor. This speech absolutely shatters that!!

[@rigell2764]

I wish the youtube algorithm would push this all the way to the top so that everyone in the United States could see how prophetic this man was and is. It's sad to see the same awful policies promoted over and over again. It seems like most people simply cannot overcome the fallacy of trusting conventional wisdom.

[@chiefeca8759]

I wish for the same but I think the bigger problem is that they cannot or they simply refuse to keep their trusting far away from our government.

[@freetochoosenetwork]

Thank you! Make sure to share with your friends!

[@nathanngumi8467]

Word.

[@armageddovig]

It's such a shame that the leadership of our country never listened to or deliberately ignored this great man !

[@willharriman1881]

He's basically just a paid shill bootlick pandering for white approval! He never even discusses actual LEGITIMATE race grievances! He never discusses the hard reality of actual current race injustices against Black Americans! What genuine employment race discrimination cases has he addressed? NONE! That alone makes him a DISGRACE!

[@Baron_Blue_Max]

I hope they upload the rest of the conference now!

[@lukemccann]

9:02 - “The problem is that the government creates too much harm to the poor” - Over 40 years later the message still hasn’t been learned, and government’s size, scope and invasiveness has only increased... with a bill to boot 💸👢

[@johnnyhensler4967]

A Lot Of Good Wisdom. 😉

[@ryancaddick5078]

Please let me watch Dr. Sowell debate any democrat on live tv before he pass away

[@fromthecountryburris1520]

Look up on KZbin his debate with Joe Dimwit and see WHO the RACIST is ...

[@fasteddie4107]

I would love to see him debate Jesse Jackson, or Angela Rye, or Al Sharpton, or even Maxine Waters; unfortunately, I doubt any of them would agree to it because he would very simply and easily prove statistically how their race-baiting has not helped the black community, and how simply self-serving their efforts really are. The jig would be up and they would only end up looking more the fools that they are.

[@biggerdog2458]

[@iobject1421]

Did Friedman do a speech at the event?

[@pretoasted]

"The full speech has never been heard before" What an outright lie. Was the hotel empty when he gave the speech and that was a laugh track instead of a real audience? Was Sowell not listening to himself while giving it? I like that you uploaded some decent Sowell content, but what's the purpose in stating something that is clearly untrue? I saw this channel as somewhat respectable with good content... but stuff like that flat-out lie in the description makes you guys look silly. It's not even a good lie as it's obviously untrue... so what was the point? Please don't do stuff like this again; Just be honest.
