Glenn wants a cheque from conservative whites 😅😅😅😅

[@mastertcoaching4785]

Mr. Loury, you are saying what many of us “Free Thinkers” appreciate!!!

[@reginaford8575]

Thanks Glenn!!! Black child of the 1960-1970s. Pride in learning and excelling was celebrated!!!

[@seanmahoney2755]

The right thing and the easy thing are almost never the same thing.

[@matthewt8214]

Be the best version of you!!!!!!

[@ThisIsToolman]

Most insightful.

[@seanathanconmanary40]

Every video I watch makes me want to watch another.

[@danmosley4387]

Demonstration of competency. YES the truth, finally.

[@LoftisforTreasurer]

Brillant.

[@rajbeekie7124]

Glenn sounds pained as he shares his perspective on being patronized.

[@latestarttravels9790]

Even in this age, as I was listening to the debate between the two, elderly cartoon figures running for president, they talked about “black jobs” and what they will do for “black people”. How patronizing and condescending.

[@rickybobbytexas3487]

They are playing to an audience of votes that want to hear that.

[@rogerward801]

Help all, and you will help ALL

[@Bizagro]

Where’s the burden for those who accept the patronizing? Why are they not called into question? Aren’t they the ones asking, demanding, that the bar be lowered?

[@TrillEverything]

No. Blacks did not ask for no SAT or Grading on Curve. And the price we pay is heavy! Any high achieving black gets questioned as to their fitness. I work with 3 Asian women. They are as average as average can be. I have to edit their work consistently! They are not ever questioned on their fitness for their work. My boss knows it too. It's pathetic. Trust, we pay a hell of a cost!

[@Bizagro]

@@TrillEverything That’s an over generalized statement. Yes you’re correct, many did not ask for it, but a great number did ask for it. In the same manner that many asked for the Defund movement, demanding it, many did not because they knew the repercussion. And those people should be held equally accountable in the same manner Glenn was trying to hold others accountable…that’s equality right?

[@playnejayne5550]

They are in cohoots with the performatively guilty white elites who signal their virtue by saying the test is racist and so forth. Paradoxically, these people display guilt for things that happened before they were born while denying guilt for what they do right now.

[@TrillEverything]

@@Bizagro Comparing Defend the Police initiatives with Grad Inflation is utter nonsense. Defund the Police was a progressive policy initiative. Grading on a Curve or Grade Inflation has NEVER EVER been pushed by EVEN ONE black policy protestor. You made that up. It's flat out like. Grade curving and inflation is a white led practice that mostly helps average white students. I'm black. I have never heard ANYONE black push for grade Inflation. Send me a link of that movement and initiative. I'll wait. But why would you lie? That's the bigger issuep

[@TrillEverything]

@@Bizagro Also, the inner-city crime rates have plummeted all around the country. Chicago murders and robberies down 30%. Boston is down 82%. They only have 4 total murders in 2024. Miami down, DC down, Philadelphia down. Why are teen & young black men choosing not to shoot one another as quickly in 2024? It's a national trend. It's happening under a democratic administration, much like in 2014 under Obama. The question remains. Why do you not know Boston has only 4 murders this year...yet Trump is on stage at the debate talking Abt Covid Crime Rates? It's because people like you cannot see the positives in the black community. And Glenn and John make money making white people feel good about their hatred of black people. They never talk about the positive aspects of African American life. They focus all their attention on impoverished inner cities. You never hear whites bashing poor, impoverished whites, whose incarceration, welfare, drug addiction, drunkenness numbers FAR exceed blacks in population. Again, where are the white versions of Glenn who bash poor whites?

[@apriorianvideos9829]

Its not complicated. You do not take anything without paying for it. Everyone is tempted, even Jesus. It is the person who is tempted, it is the person who resist temptation. If you give into temptation and take the free offer, that is on your head.

[@ninadaly7639]

Who can you identify today that is fit for equal participation? Ibram X Kendi? Nicole Hannah Jones? Are they ready for “participation”?

[@zarbins]

Glenn himself is certainly fit for equal participation :) The others you list prefer to remain victims of the past, it is unfortunate they are beholden to leftist ideology that sees them as inferior.

[@TedfromTorrance]

How do you explain 220 years of Black rule in Haiti and long time Black rule in Liberia, what are the effects, who is to blame?

[@michaeldooley3396]

....I'm sure they'll find a way to blame white people....

[@derrickjenkins2455]

The Clinton's

[@TraciBradley-i8k]

Anyone ever leave cities and go to rural areas. We aren't divided.

[@lindacombs7677]

Please stop saying african American. You are simply, wonderfully Americans. Take pride in that.

[@avdmustang]

None here!

[@backthatthingupyoyoy]

Hey Glenn, MERITORIUS EQUALITY is the ONLY REAL EQUALITY. Equality by any other name is EQUITY! And that equity is the fast path to failure for companies who practice it as they are essentially DEI hiring lesser talent and paying more for it.

[@rationalreasoning5612]

Well, this is all very true, but it negates the fact that there are many who hold biases and prejudices about black folks that would see them prefer to appoint/do business with/etc etc someone more familiar who may be less qualified

[@mechellestewart8439]

Because that doesnt happen in the black community?

[@steveedmunds4949]

Do you think being forced to employ someone because of their race will reduce prejudice?

[@rationalreasoning5612]

@steveedmunds4949 the point I'm making is that it's not an equal playing field for a number of reasons. Many of which are historical. This is where the commonly held notion of needing to be twice as good as white counterparts comes from within the black community. Not only needing to be twice as good but some feel a need to 'conform'.

[@rationalreasoning5612]

@steveedmunds4949 and actually I would say don't go where you're not seen, wanted, valued or valued. There are many opportunities for many black people in USA. They're not limited as they once were. But for the same and different reasons there are as many mediocre black folks in positions they're intellect and effort is not deserving of as there are white folks. Problem is with mediocre white people in positions of influence etc, etc it's always been accepted. Black folks being elevated to undeserved positions is that it's more amplified.

[@apples874]

In a free market quality of performance will always out way peoples biases. If you’re an employer who’s biased, your company will not last long and those have offer the best quality of performance end up successful

[@FUToob]

No, Shelby Steele (04:00 +). There is no "We" in your equation. It was "They," collectively. You've not undergone 400 years of anything. Words need to be precise. The over-generalization is a big part of the problem.

[@explrr22]

Good, but... This clip finished on the bad note of trashing... liberalism? Liberalism is the very set of concepts that elevates individuals over the group and frees them from historical bounds of station, class, etcetera.... to grant them personal equal rights as human beings. Liberalism is also what is now being abandoned by those you oppose. If you want group biased treatments, rankings, constraining dogmas, repression of dissent, etcetera... you'll soon find yourself amongst the forces who oppose liberalism ... And joining those you purport to oppose. Call it something more honest, or even just blame it on "The Left" . But flippantly trashing liberalism, is sloppily undermining one of your own essential foundations.
