This is what they don't teach you about colonization

I get unsubscribed more often from this channel than any other! What a danger this man must be!

What about the tens of millions who were killed by imperialists? Are they better off too?

"African-AMERICAN" Is an INSULT!!

these racists give no credit to Africa 🤦‍♂️ this will be colonists major downfall in the modern world, so be it

Imperialist apologia. This is straight garbage

1000 BC the Philistean had Iron technology and became dominant in the land, we do know only by the bible

Do your work or pis off

England never conquered Scotland. It spent 700 years trying then the two merged.

Out the cologne,.. 😷

What they don't teach about de colonisation is the collapse of these countries

Sowell’s a die hard conservative. Fine if that’s what you’re buying, but don’t think he’s selling unvarnished history.

I wish this guy would be born again and live during this time. Why doesn't anybody listen to this man. Genius

This chap is very clever

Dishonest framing of the problem, what schill for the white capitalist

Germans, Jews? erm. Jews aren't from Western Europe

I bet psychologists would have a field day with this guy.

@yous1413  There are secrets, lies, and misconceptions about colonial history that are little known. The Left and the ex-colonies distribute only one side of the story.

Black elites in many African countries actually took part in the slave trade by selling African labour to foreign traders. And Arabic traders were engaged in that trade both long before and during the European colonial era. But slavery had mostly disappeared in the 1800s as European countries underwent more enlightenment at home.

Compensation for colonised countries? There would have to be huge deductions from that for railway stations, roads, bridges, public buildings, airports, shipping ports, hospitals, and schools that were built by the colonisers. I nearly forgot the plumbing and electrical infra and help with defense against neighbours. Then there were the massive and ongoing AID programs giving varied types of assistance to Asian and African countries over many decades. A more recent example was the Western funding for billions of Covid-19 vaccines that were distributed around the world. It has also been Western money that has flowed to developing countries through the UN and World Bank for decades. And the West has allowed lots of immigration from former colonies that allowed remittances to be sent back home.

It is extremely difficult to give direct financial aid to developing countries due to widespread corruption and autocratic government in so many of them. We will never know how much well-intended money was siphoned off by corrupt governments. Those factors have all along been playing a huge role in the under development of those countries, even several decades after independence.

I know these things as I widely traveled in various former colonies, and I even lived in British colonial Hong Kong in the 1980s.

But the leaders of those countries naturally blame the West. Do we need to wonder why? They love scapegoats!

Going against popular grain with incontrovertible evidence and objective analyses shows Dr Sowell's exceptional distinction.

This is part of his explanation he gives for why the British empire came to be,
He makes an interesting and understandable point in that Britain is an island and as such no land borders that could be easily crossed for land grabs and invasions.this gave more time to build a stronger connected society .
Instead of wasting time and resources on protecting borders it created an environment that encouraged progress and development.
As an island nation ship building was vital, but new designs and techniques were made possible at a faster rate than the rest of Europe due to being less worried about neighbours.Then add to that the stable society and impartial and independent law system attracted investment from abroad which brought wealth which encouraged invention and development.......
So a strong society and equal treatment under the law with the sea as a border and,360° access to the global highway of the sea is how it came about...m

The colonized countries that were " better off" were those that had settler colonialists or sizeable "expat: communities. Also, that "better off" didn't include the natives. Sowell tends to be popular overwhelmingly with colonial/Apartheid apologists, hence why he- like Clarence Thomas- is not embraced by people who look like him.

He got all the answers, BUT NEVER EVER ANY SOLUTIONS!!!!! He’s a government plant just like Tyson

This entire video in one sentence: “Yt ppl is not the reason blacks are poor, blacks are the reason blacks are poor….. Because the yt man made everybody else rich when they took those ppl lands and resources…. “

Thomas Sowell only speaks down and against his own ppl. Forcing his opinions as facts….

...
No hope in going to the past come to the loving savior today

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void

John 3:16-21

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus

Never ceases to amaze me how the whiny, blubbery blacks scoff at Sowell. Any black who “succeeds” is somehow their enemy.

Wow, nice propaganda for colonial apologists

Yup.

Lol well sold lie....look at todays world ...fastest growing economic countries are people who are not diversed and people who threw away colonization ..u go to someones house steal the resources and after that claim that both side had benefits by selling democracy ...every war and big conflict in todays world is directly or indirectly related to colonization..its easy to stay far and analyze things .bro china , russia and india will proudly disagree with this man...secondly Scottish prospered so did canada because they were white u dumbass not a single country with colour were treated properly...whites were 1st class citizen and other colours were 2nd class thats the ground reality of colonization..even a 5th grade student from any colonized country will show u history evidence with proof.

Basically, the message here by Sowell is to "bow down and submit" when the invaders come, learn how they do things (skills) and personally maybe gain from these newly acquired skills, while millions of others get rolled over...

and what about the africa colonisation of china well before the uk started colonisation of the world

These countries got along fine until the powers that be came along. Thomas Sowell is a joke if you follow him you are the same.

But what is wealth and truly what is culture? When culture is created by the people based on their surroundings, so culture doesn’t really matter. What matter is brotherhood and unity

Another thing that another thing that I have definitely looked into overall is that most of his fans are Caucasian people people and if there's anybody that is a hero of his community or that speaks facts about history being a historian or whatever he is supposed to be you would have his own people loving him and cheering them on but why is it that he speaks of History like chattel slavery African style is and such and he has really know people that share the same color is hen root him on

He is the left's greatest enemy a highly intelligent highly educated BLACK conservative

Thomas Sowell is the best ever!!!

Life is hard

Him and Kamala Harris see eye to eye

Political and economic freedom or slavery is the result of colonialism

He should come and carry this logic an explain to the Ogoni people in nigeria who had their land destroyed beause of shell's oil exploration.

Majority of the people in this comment section have not even felt the real effects of colonization or racial segregation. I honestly feel Sowells point of view is not as practical and that he is deeply embedded in the white society even though he is black. I refuse to litsen to his 'logic' when he has nof witnessed first hand the effects of white supremacy and most importantly as a man who does not know where he really comes from.

This is like saying, I build my house from the ground up, it’s not the best or have all the fancy amenities, but it’s functional. I live off the land, provide for my family, and we are content, no one is going hungry. Then you come along, break into my home and r@pe my children, k!ll my wife, bring me new pots and tell me to cook for you, then turn around and say, “See, I taught him how to cook”. Wicked👿🤺👿🤺

❄️🤡

This dude delusional

well, the romans had their hand at north africa as well. where's the general prosperity there?

An equally valid video here would have been 'And what have the Romans ever done for us" section in Monty Pythons Life of Brian.

Basically any violation of human rights is worth it if its profitable.

This is such a fundamentally flawed take on colonization and imperialism that it's almost laughable that anybody could take it seriously.

Colonialism is a natural trait to all humans & Nature in general. The hatred towards those that managed to be successful at Colonizing before others is ENVY. People have been brainwashed to believe that the people that didn't explore & Colonize are Victim's & those that did are Perpetrator's but the reality is everyone benefited & every nation or tribe would have done it had the opportunity been present. No one needs to apologize for anything because each nation plays its own part & none are either bad or good nor victims or perpetrators.

Cost and benefits good and bad Still rather be free

Thank you for your videos I'm using as lessons for history along with books for my kids
