Love getting my daily dose of Thomas Sowell 💗

This is what children should be learning in school

[Appleblade]

Imagine growing up with a teacher who just explained what happened.

[juanzulu]

Interesting. And so rational, non-ideological. 👍

Sad that such standards have become the exception nowadays.

Think of how it changed the old world. Italian food was cooked with ZERO tomatoes until the 1500s.
Now you probably have people who probably just assume that plant is native to Italy.

As a decendant of immigrants I am grateful for western civilization and culture which has benefitted my family and I.

[bostongirlsandy]

I'm happy this video didn't portray either party in a negative light but explained everything as it was and as it is.

[jessefifa]

Thomas Sowell history is the best history I swear <3

[jimd]

Your teachings are always new and appreciated

[kellik]

I haven't read this book yet, but now I really want to read it next!

[dongaetano]

Add another book to the to buy list. I think VDH's <Carnage and Culture> also a must read.
Thanks guys!!! Great clip and screen shots.

[darbyheavey]

Well they stoped the practice of human sacrifice for one.

[elmospasco]

John Ross of the Cherokee and Quanah Parker of the Commanche would be two good examples of what Mr. Sowell was talking about when it came Native American leaders. Unfortunately more people are familiar with Quanah than John.

Very interesting thank you once again. Sir

[plweis]

Such erudition should be more widely available

[wastedhawkbeverages]

Ok.
The people in what we call India call their country Bharat.
Their word for river was sindu. The Persians took this to mean that was their word just for the river dividing their lands. So they called the river (Indus) Hindush and also attributed that name to the people on the other side of said river. The Greeks altered Hindush to Indos which the Romans altered into India. Yes, Columbus was trying to reach the islands off the coast of India and thought he had at first. But Spanish colonization of the Americas and their word for indigenous (indigena) is where people in the US get the word Indian (even the state of Indiana). Much like a word once widely used that was a derivation of the Spanish word for black.

Dr. Sowell, you are the mot valuable educational resource ever. That is so impersonal and that kills me inside. You are very literally one of the most important people in most of American history, and THE ABSOLUTE most important person when considering racial history.

I hope that I get to meet you in person and shake your hand in the current time frame! Where can I actually meet you?

[FerallHog]

I always say, if Diversity Is Our Strength, the American Indians sure had and have a problem with the “Diversity” that made its way to North America (and still do). South Africans and Southeast Asians sure weren’t happy with “Diversity”. But today we are supposed to promote the Diversity Is OurStrength mantra.

[MickeyMouse-elbk]

Most people don't know that the Indians and Spaniards got along very well. Apache and Navajos especially.

[brentwilbur]

I'm taking that word back.

Colonizer 4 life!
