The Elites Promote Riots & Division on Campuses Across America | Thomas Sowell
To be sensitive, as ideologically defined,
requires that one not merely accept
but “affirm” other people’s way of life or
even “celebrate” diversity in general.
Like other demands for “sensitivity,”
this demand offers no reason-unless
fear of being disapproved, denounced,
or harassed is a reason.

Dr. Sowell’s books should be mandatory reading beginning in the 9th grade in every public high school in America.
Being too sensitive can lead to an early grave. Being progressive just for progressive's sake is just purely unwise. Thomas Sowell is a hero. Thank you sir.
OMG. This guy was so ahead of his time.
Truth is always on time for those who are willing to recognize it. The falsehoods and distortions usually mask the truth so people can claim leverage and power over others. It takes courage to see it and stand up for truth.
Thomas Sowell always puts on a clinic in objective reasoning. We are so lucky to be revering his works while he still lives. The man is a National Treasure. Thank you Mr Sowell.
Of course they do. Evil thrives on hate, envy, and division. That allows them to solidify control over the distracted masses.
The people protesting right now are saying they don’t want elites to keep giving their tuition money to other elites so they can continue ending the lives of children. Do you really think elites are the people convincing all those people to protest? Or does it seem more likely that some people have sympathy and just don’t like what’s being done with their tuition and taxes?
Some people have sympathy so they protest against ongoing atrocities being done with the help of their tuition and taxes. Do you really think elites are convincing huge numbers of people to protest against the actions of elites?
Some people have sympathy and are protesting against the actions of elites. They’re doing so because people with sympathy don’t like their tuition and taxes being used to end lots of lives. It’s not that complicated
My replies keep getting erased because Sowell hates free speech almost as much as the elites, basically cause he’s one of them
Thomas Sowell is one of the elites. That’s why he makes videos about how awful it is to protest against what the elites are doing with taxes and tuition and so on
A great man. Truthful an honest
100%
Dr Sowell is a national treasure and his books should be studied in schools, I doesn't seem likley sadly
Definitely. He's an example of mental attrition and an evolved sense of self with genuine conviction. 👍
Oh because some white folks he defend never insulting them he’s always attacking black people.. oh u turned down Stanford then but u are a fellow now.. I wonder huh..
Japanese is there in Brazil because they were treated better that’s why it’s the second largest group outside of Japan
Amazing how everything we see today Thomas Sowell has already addressed like 20 years ago and what he said is still applicable
Yes Thomas has been saying there’s no racisms since the 70s!
I'd call it child abuse. Whenever you hear students behave like this, you know they didn't come up with this themselves, they were abused by their "teachers"
Don't you mean GROOMERS?
It's also being subsidized by Chinese intelligence programs meant to foment chaos and drive existing divisions within the US. The communists play a much longer game.
Those rent-a-riot university thugs should instead hold banners saying *FREE THE HOSTAGES* - now that's the honest truth!!! 💙💙💙
Free Palestine and end the genocide how about that
@@sabreeabedrabo861 free the hostages. How bout that?
Rent-a-riot 😂
Thomas Sowell is a treasure ❤
This man would make a wonderful president!!
Once again; WOW! DR. Sowell is a national treasure and beacon of truth. Thank you Dr!!!
He said all of this in 1990 - 34 years ago.
Yes 🤯, I saw time stamp....... Good Lord...! Seems ..almost...😔 Hopeless...🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I didn't know things were bad in 1990. But I didn't know who Thomas Sowell was in 1990. Now the universities, SEC corporations and the entirety of government are what they were intended to be by those who started all of this.
Yes he also said there’s no racism in the 80s. He’s a one trick pony!
First comment. Long live sir Thomas Sowell !
Brilliance that needs to be recognized.
Thomas Sowell, an absolute star!
He's got swagger
Dr Sowell droppin' Bunker busters all day long! 😎🙏🙏🙏
If you put 100 black ants and a hundred red ants into a jar together, nothing happens. If you create disturbance and shake the jar, the black ants will attack the red and the red will attack the black ants. The real enemy is who ever is shaking the jar!
Nbr one problem with your comment. Human beings aren’t ants.
@@annettewilcox5413 They don't need to be. It still is an example that there is often not a big issue or can have harmony until someone intentionally wants to create division and chaos... that person is the problem!
@@user-fh6uq6wt7p well you can simply use an example coming from humans...
Love this dude
I've been following Thomas for a huge number of years.
I don't care how ancient the original commentary is, it is always refreshing to hear Professor Sowell speak its wisdom.
The clarity in which he observes problems and their future consequences has been very enlightening to me over the decades. Thank you Thomas. God Bless you.
Clans, tribes, religions, ethnicities, races, governments, languages, cultures…..all with different interests! Turning the U.S. into the Middle East and Africa…starts with identity politics….all of the above learning to hate one another.
All by design by the PieceAshit People. Some of US know who That is. Most people Don't
Mr Sowell always leaves me speechless. He pure gold....Ireland
I could listen to Tom all day long.
So honest so forthright in his thinking ! He’s the real deal !!
I can listen to this man all day long
He is so dissent and smart! One of a kind! Voice of reason! Very honest person!
Dr. Sowell is decent and speaks the truth. His wisdom is hard won. As a younger man, he believed the opposite views held now by him, and protested on campus in my hometown. I revere Dr. Sowell and I'm in awe of his growth, intellect, and stature. He is a humble man who sees the folly in younger minds and hearts. He is a wonderful man and teacher ♡
Mr Sowell is a voice of reason we need more of in the world, showing we are more a like than different
Outstanding video; then again Thomas Sowell is an outstanding intellectual.
"If you attract timid people you will have conformity" We need your genius sir now more then ever
Too late. He is incredibly old now, he can't travel or do speaking.
You Sir, are a Saint!!!
Spot on. More good incite from Sowell. What I’m wondering is how long can government + educational system keep this poor product afloat? Or, will there be enough competition in the future that people will stop buying the current substandard product for a better one? The fact that it can be sold to such young inexperienced minds that are easily manipulated using emotions, tells me it’s going to take a long time and a lot of good parenting before things change.
Not one lefty troll. Even the lefty’s know not to being a knife to a gun fight.
Dr Sowell did not predict or guess at what was going to happen in our culture he knew what was going to happen because of his intellect.
The purpose of higher education is to keep the children of elite groups out of serious trouble and off the unemployment statistics until they are old and responsible enough to be given jobs suitable to their social status.
Dumbest take ever.
Universities used to really educate people. Especially the upper classes. The more mainstream universities become the less reason there is to attend. It used to be a place to get one up on most other people. A place to make connections
@@ulrichenevoldsen8371 should be preserved.
@@notinterested8452 agreed
It's been said already, but I'll say it also. Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.
Timely!!!
I grew up in the 50s, and I NEVER knew what discrimination was, my parents never taught us to hate ANYONE, I saw it happening when my grandchildren were young, they are grown now and my great grandchildren are the worse off concerning this subject
Wish Mr.Sowell lived next door, imagine the chats over the fence.
Interested in what he said about the Scots. Different groups, different backgrounds. Fascinating.
Thomas Sowell eill be referenced and quoted for decades even a century from now.
I love this man❤
A brilliant & deeply wise man.
Love this man❤️
Thomas Sowell. A fine man with moral fibre.
Who is his protege?
Sowell has drilled deep and found answers unavailable to mentally unserious "experts." This is not a new phenomenon. "The unexamined life is not worth living," - Socrates
Lol. Dumb and dumber. The elites and the fools that obey them.
Sorry, second comment. Dr. Sowell you are really good at unpacking things. Thank-you.
Thank you for including the date. I hope you add dates on all Sowell videos so we can identify which current events he is speaking of and learn how consistent he has been over decades
Smile Doc. You're at GETTR. Really thnx.
Dr Sowell is one of the last great thinkers in America.
Great stuff.
Great work Dr. Sowell!! Scooby snacks for you. Praying for Israel. My allegiance is to Liberty and the Republic.
I graduated high school in 82. We didn't have a race issue at our high school. Everyone got along just fine. I didn't even hear about racism until Obama was elected.
I graduated in 05 and kinda see it - I remember alot of prejudice but not much racism. To be honest I was absolutely shocked when people openly started hateing Jewish people in mass again. There's always been a very small pockets of these groups, but to see Americans in mass start hateing them should raise red flags to everyone. Ohh well - too late now.
Sorry, my point was that I think the ball had to have already been rolling by my high-school years. Without and active catalyst such as a terror attack- the only explanation for this hate has to be propaganda.
Very good. I think part of the problem is compiling Achievement charts and tables based on race - someone has to be bottom, and then point out that they are disadvantaged in some way
1990 and this man understood the horrible trajectory this country was heading.
God bless you Mr. Sowell!!😇, telling it like it is!! 🙏
I will not celebrate things that I think will hurt people.
China will.
This man never ceases to amaze me. How he nailed the foibles back in 1990 that we're seeing played out so drastically in 2024, I actually think he may be a prophet!
All universities are and have been lost. Persuasion, behavior, action.
regression in the name of progression, bless you ❤
Good feedback thank you..🎓
Ty
would it be because elites make money from division?
Tyvm Dr. Sowell, 1:02 for having conviction to stand up for your moral proclivity! Something that is horribly lacking in today's society. It's nice when intellectuals don't fall into folly, by pushing back on an ideological disposition that hadn't worked in any other country on the planet! Not on any level! ... ty!
Speaking the truth 34 years ago.
What a fantastic president this man would make …i could listen to him for hours ❤
Yep... The same way planters made racial tensions between blacks and whites after bacon's rebellion
In addition to being brilliant he's also prolific.
So ahead of the curve
what percentage of campuses have actually had protests? and of those, how many have had antisemitic protests or violence? That is the first question
Identification is the cause of all suffering
This kind of thinking is brilliant. Every generation is uniquely different and along with it usually has has something to offer. I think the worst thing a person can do is to generalize about the things around them. Generalizing makes for short sightedness. Generalizing and projection causes blindness of insight. Generalizing blocks the view of observation. Observation is key to being open to understanding.
It’s not brilliant it’s common sense.
@@AbeFroman-zx5hs it is good logic which a lot of people do not possess.
@@candyflair7946 yes. It’s called common sense.
@@AbeFroman-zx5hs sounds like we each have our own opinion. Did you need mine to be like yours ? 😁 ???
@@candyflair7946 opinions? No we different interpretations of the English language. Unfortunately today, you being one of them, people misuse (dilute if you will) terms like brilliant, hero, warrior, genius. Granted Mr Sowell is an intelligent man but he would be the first to argue that he’s not extraordinarily brilliant. PS. By the way, you don’t need to do anything for me.
Wow 1990 !!! 😮 Prophetic… 😢
The initial comment was spot on.
3:54 "Tenure does not produce people who speak their mind. Timid people are disproportionately attracted to jobs that have ironclad tenure. This is not where you get your bold, new ideas... if you attract timid people, you are going to have conformity, no matter how much freedom they have"
Interesting the last point between the difference in two generations of assimilation and the different trayectory between the same people in different contexts
Wild, i was just wondering if this set of riots are manufactured
Prophetic. It's amazing how much common sense can resemble out-of-the-box thinking.
We are seeing where the spiral ends. Well, hopefully. I don't think we can take much more of this crazy ride.
He remains more relevant today
More sense comes out of this man's mounth in half an hour than comes out of the average American politician in 12 months.
Sense and politician should never be in the same sentence!😂
I love how we have come to a point were we can't even fathom the possibility that someone has a different opinion on a given topic, or, God forbid, we are not always 101% right. No, everything is black or white, pick your side or both sides will fight you.
One of the greatest Americans who too few know and recognize for his wisdom.
divide and conquer
Brilliant.
Divide and conquer.
And to think this was 20 years ago
What a Wiseman!
"If you attract timid people, you're gonna have conformity, no matter how much freedom they have". Now that's a bumper sticker.
wow he had it figured out so long ago
Brilliant as always TS, people choose confrontation, gravitate towards negativity. It's a great thing when people of different races or cultures become friends, and truly care about each other. But it's a natural thing that tiger's don't run with lion's, and blue bird's don't live with red bird's. Kid's on this block find kid's on that block suspicious. If we could just see that they aren't bad people, just stranger's. This of course isn't addressing those that choose to be criminal's, dangerous, and yes, scary.
An Amazing Man
I'm sure he would have said the same about the vietnam war protest, the Afghanistan war protest, the civil rights protests.
Facts!
What you allow is what will continue...
It’s crazy this is even more true today.
I would be more inclined to listen to Sowell if I did not feel in a timewarp every time Victor Davis Hanson has the same gravitas but his podcasts are (nearly) daily
