What do we know about progress in racial equality and the disparities that exist?
The evidence about racial inequality is varied and complex. It is often hard to draw singular conclusions about how and why certain groups fare differently. Added to this are the myriad definitions of inequality and racism; terms which are used in different ways and often have political connotations. Can we use evidence to reconcile disagreements, engage the 'moderate middle', and reach a shared understanding? What kind of inequality should we all be concerned about? What do we understand or not about the driving factors?

What a Guy! In 5 minutes he was able to encapsulate and elucidate most of the problems troubling this society / world, while offering solutions, when others, so called experts, take years haggling about and never come to any conclusion. Good on you Sir!

I'm always just blown away by Glenn's intellect. I wish I had his vocabulary too.

You, sir, are no longer a mere economist, you have stepped into the role of the moral philosopher, and I for one am very pleased to be rooting for you! Black conservatives will lead the charge to save the union!

That last quotation is going to stick with me a very long time.

"It's a surrender of dignity. You will not be equal at the end of that argument even if you get what you ask for. There's no substitute for earning the respect of your peers. If they grant it to you out of guilt or pity, *they have reduced you.* Not elevated you."

Wow. I didn't know how to say it until just now. Thanks for giving me the words to express my own discomfort with this whole idea.

This Man and Sowell are beyond Great Minds.

Glenn speaks truth so succinctly every time I hear him.

“Discrimination and Disparities” by Thomas Sowell is a fantastic book. Prof. Sowell is concerned only with empirical evidence which grants tremendous weight to his arguments. Thank you, Prof. Loury, for your eloquent and logically reasoned argument.

That"s 5 minutes of brilliant, articulate, thoughtful and pragmatic observation/analysis of today"s culture of victimhood, blame shifting, and identity politics. Exactly what the world needs to hear. Having read many of Thomas Sowell"s books, how is it that I have never heard of this man? I want to see him on Joe Rogan getting 10m views!.

Wonderful. I've been following Glenn for some time, he reminds me of Christopher Hitchens, he's incapable of being dull, is always brilliant, insightful and witty and never suffers fools.
