  6. This is Beyond BRILLIANT.
    The label "Progressive" gives the Progressives a smug pat on the back for being so avant garde.

  7. Some background on affirmative action: it was instituted in the 1970s to dispel the fears of employers that women and black people were not real people and couldn't do real work, even when they had the requisite credentials; this was especially extreme in technical fields, even though these employers were never required to hire unqualified people. Then, in the early 1980s, the (perceived) Japanese economic threat caused some large technical companies to seek out women with GPAs of at least 3.8 to hire. Then, by 1990, many other companies began to hire women who had similar credentials to those of their male employees, and some of them found that there was an advantage to hiring women because they accepted lower pay. But throughout the 20th century, I found that it was a struggle to get credit for my work because everyone there assumed my (male) bosses or coworkers had done it. Eventually I got official credit, enough to keep my job and get paid, but it was my boss who got the recognition and the plum job offer from a better employer. It took a full generation after affirmative action took effect for this stubborn disbelief that women could do as well as men, at least if they had the same work track record, the same achievements, to go away. This was what Sandra Day O'Connor was talking about when she wrote that she hoped affirmative action wouldn't be needed in 25 years: the new generation of managers did not have the same prejudices.

    Today, however, affirmative action is apparently widely abused by employers who set lower standards for members of those groups that faced great prejudice in the past. They often hire unqualified people to satisfy what they believe to be a social justice measure rather than what was originally meant as one to set the stage for fairness. That doesn't mean that it was a bad idea, but rather that it outlived its usefulness. It is now generally accepted that women and black people are indeed real people, and some, maybe many or most, technical organization employers understand that routinely turning away applicants from these groups typically results in a competitive disadvantage.

  8. I grew up in a housing project and guess what me and the black kids and white kids there all had one thing in common – we were very poor and we got a long with each other very well.

  12. 2022 and Dr. Sowell is more relevant than I ever would've guessed. Our whole nation is going under because people are taught the opposite of what he is teaching. Here we have the cure and it is being suppressed because it isn't profitable to see people free from their disease.

    Also referring to the subculture, punk, rock and roll, heavy metal, etc. Did these subcultures not have similar effects?

  28. One of the greatest disservices that can be done to a group is for politicians, who really have no expertise except how to advance themselves in politics, to "assist" them in advancement in any area of life outside politics. What teachers and education grad school graduates with education administration degrees will never understand and simply don't care about is the most successful groups in this country didn't skip steps of trades and small business entrepreneurs. These ridiculous high school guidance counselors and overly paid school district administrators try to engineer some societal jumping by pushing kids to brainwashing colleges and skipping a generational wisdom acquired by people who do SKILLED work and start and sweat into small businesses. They steal the success of entire generations in this way, because they insisted change happens NOW and in the way they FEEL it should happen.

  32. I love how genuinely honest and he is being and how strongly he truly believes in what he is saying. Not trying to prove a political point or drive an agenda. Only trying to be logical and present true facts.

  42. Laughing at me. Sowell mentioning the ease to which people make correlations between events in an earlier part of the interview while he himself in a latter part of the interview makes an easy correlation between the 60s & family disintegration when we know the black family began disintegration in the 30s
