Reparations and the Legacy of BLM with The GoodFellows
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- This episode is actually my appearance on the Goodfellows podcast, which is run by the Hoover Institution. They asked me about the reparations proposal that was recently put forward in California. They also asked me about the legacy of Black Lives Matter. We talk about the 1619 Project. We talk about color blindness and a post-racial society. Finally, they went on to ask me what advice I would give to young black kids today.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Bro we know your not us lil homie your not black..your not FBA..your a tether and the real black grassroots exposed you.. oh and we will never claim a mofo riding a subway pole in white draws..WTF
Not rocket science. Sixty years and $23 trillion in Affirmative Action, free grants for business and college, free housing and food...WAS reparations.
Coleman the token black guy with three white ppl
@@jamesshaw6884 he not even black he Puerto Rican and plus we don't claim mofo who pole dance on crowded Subway trains in his underwear
@@killmongermyhero1169 word up
We need more people like you Coleman. Most people lack the knowledge and academic tools to bring truth to light like you do.
I do not think he is that unusual intellectual. What he has is free thought and less emotional. The media makes us emotional. We weight emotional arguments heaver than actual logical or ethical arguments.
No, we don't. We had many from the black community that sabotaged the black community within. Do we have problems YES? Do other communities have problems without a doubt, even more so
@deal2live what he is is nether intellectual or intelligently. He is just a parrot that repeats what white supremacy has said for years as an excuse on why they are evil. This guy is not even a black american eligible for reparations, he is Puerto Rican cosplaying as one of the descendants
It’s great that you were balanced, providing pros and cons, when asked about BLM’s legacy.
BLM is a Marxist movement.
Coleman Hughes Would you consider having your podcast shown inside the country’s prisons? I can help. Your voice is needed.
Put it ON!!!
Reach out to him directly or his team (I wouldn’t know how lol) don’t stop until you have a YES or NO from him! It’s important!
@@christopherkucia1071 thanks for the encouragement, I'll get on it asap.
I've been talking about Tony Timpa ever since the summer of 2020. He died in almost identical circumstances as Saint George, but nobody gave a crap.... literally because he was white. So when people say oh there is systemic racism in our country... I say yeah... I agree.
It’s the political elite profiting off of division amongst the proles. And to CREATE issues to run on in election…….
😢and Timothy Coffman. Another white guy who died the same way. And even though neither of their deaths were due to racism I still agree there is def racism towards white people by others generally and workplace racism.
Your story about your grandfather really struck home for me. I am a white civil engineer and my old manager (retired now) was a black man who I loved working with. I really miss him. He was well known and respected in our city's engineering community. He still comes to visit our office from time to time and it's always nice to see him. Every stops what they're doing to go chat with him.
Calling it George Floyd's murder in my opinion is an opinion. I would refer to it as George Floyd's death in police custody if anything. I understand a jury thought differently.
Not really! The jury was scared to death and intimidated. In no way was that a fair trial!
If what happened to that man happened to your father you'd be calling it a murder but you're a coward so that's okay.
I didnt watch the whole courtcase but ny unnderstandjng is they couldnt determine if Floyd died before the fentanyl could have killed him despite he def did OD on it. There as mitigating factors such as negligence on the copper's part where he didnt assisst Floyd when he said he couldnt breath and what may have caused him to not breath being aggravated by the exhaust fumes or laying awkwardly on his front. If he died before the fentanyl caused his death then it means it was down to Chauvin's negligence. If you had someone in hospital saying they cant breath but the nurse didnt assist them and they died they may have died anyway but they would have potentially lived longer if assissted. Thats why its tricky because you have to assist a person who cant breath.
@@kaseyineshe had taken something like 50x the amount of fentanyl that would cause on OD. Read that as 50x more and not 50% more. He def had taken enough to kill him. Howver it doesnt sit right with me that Chauvin didnt assist a man struggling to breath. Thats straight up negligence on his part and he could have done that to someone else who wasnt def going to die from an OD and thus could be someone who contributes to another person's death even if he was the direct cause. Whether you cause that person to not be able to breath initially you arw very much why they are continuing to struggle by not shifting their position. Another person could be saved by sitting them up to expand their lungs. Whilst lying on ones front will do that it wont if your hands are behind you back changing how youre laying. When I lay on my front I need my arms under me to give that space for my lungs to expand when I breath.
I've watched nearly every Goodfellows episode. Such a great show. I'm glad you got to be a guest.
Have you ever thought about having Killer Mike from Run the Jewels on your podcast? It seems to me like his positions on most issues regarding Black Americans are the polar opposite of yours. And yet, you both strike me as well-informed, intelligent men acting in good faith. I think a discussion between the two of you would be of immense value.
Thank you for your work, your decency, and your willingness to challenge popular views.
You could add KRS One I know he has a lot of knowledge about these polarizing subjects.
Coleman, i am a big fan. I think the US has already paid “reparations” since 1965 in the form of welfare, food stamps, section 8 housing, head start and many other programs. I hope that some of that makes sense.
And I’m a little disturbed that these white academicians keep referring to the horrible tragedy of George Floyd’s “murder” at the hands of a white policeman.
I live in Minneapolis and that white policeman was known to be a POS but George Floyd was breaking multiple laws (and a history of lawbreaking) and then was fighting the police, and would not allow himself to be put in the back of the police car and then was being restrained by that cop who is spending more time looking at the people around him fearing he was about to be rushed than concerned with George Floyd’s state of health. As a physician, I can tell you that you cannot compromise someone’s airway by kneeling on the back of their neck. The spine is in the way. You can’t suffocate somebody that way. That’s why when people strangle people they do it from the front. Secondly if you are unable to breathe you are unable to vocalize am I understanding is that George Floyd was vocalizing throughout much of that 8 to 9 minutes. Lastly, George Floyd had horrific coronary artery disease, much more advanced than most people his age. That’s combined with his intoxication with methamphetamine and fentanyl and his Excessive struggles with the police and what caused his death. That was the original autopsy reports and in my personal opinion, knowing some of those pathologist at the Hennepin County medical center, is the truth not watch some hired guns from the defense and family said in exchange for payment.
As much as this may be uncomfortable or perhaps seriously controversial, George Floyd was not murdered. George Floyd died from the stress of struggling with the police because of serious underlying coronary artery disease. My understanding he had a 90 to 95% blockage of his main coronary artery.
My old girlfriend who was 50% Native American that looked very white was twice restrained for 15 minutes or more by that same knee on the back of the neck or upper back. In addition, as you sort of point out, more than twice as many whites are killed by the police each year, and I am speaking of gunshot killings Rather than suffocation, but somehow that never gets discussed.
Thank you for doing what you do. I’m not a subscriber at this point but I do plan to at some point.
I watched this when originally posted by the Hoover Institute.
And watched it again just now to re-listen to all the great, sane, balanced thoughts you put forward.
Nice work, as ever. Thanks Coleman.
Charter schools replacing public schools is the elephant 🐘 in the room.🤔
The Framers essentially had to tolerate slavery in some southern states so that said states would agree to ratify the Constitution and join the Union. Although they locked in a ban on the international slave trade (which they believed would eventually end slavery -- no source for new slaves would ultimately end the practice, right?). Unfortunately, there were two issues: as part of the ratification process, they had to allow for a 20 yr extension via a compromise before the international slave ban went into effect in 1808; and the number of slaves in southern states grew instead of declining. The intent of the Framers was not to perpetuate slavery or to protect it any more than they had to to achieve ratification. Defenders of slavery falsely claim that the Constitution was "pro-slavery" because it contained multiple provisions that could be perceived as being put in place for the benefit of slaveholders, like the fugitive slave clause (that required the North to return escaped slaves to their owners in the South), the militia clause (which allowed Federal forces to put down slave rebellions in the South), and the fact that various amendments permitted slaveholders to classify slaves as their property (and thus subject to legal protections under the Constitution). The Civil War was ultimately a battle over Constitutional interpretation, and who had the power to impose their will on the other. As the North grew more powerful politically (due to increasing populations), the South was worried that if the Western states were not allowed to be made "slave states" in equal proportion to as they were "free states," they'd lose their Senate parity (which was their sole protection against the increasing votes in the North). The Civil War was fought because Western states were admitted as "free states" to such a disproportionate degree that Southern politicians knew their time was limited anyway...so why not leave a system that no longer had your best interests in mind (and you didn't have the power to control it).
I love listening to Coleman. He needs to go big.
I live on the northwest side of Chicago and shortly after George Floyd died from fentanyl and a heart attack I saw an article online about a group of people on the south side preparing to go downtown to protest his death. A young black woman addressing this group said that every morning when she wakes up she wonders if this will be the day she dies.
Was she talking about being shot by a black gangbanger who routinely shoot other blacks? Obviously not. She was talking about being shot by a white cop who, according to the left, routinely shoot blacks all over the country simply for being black. Many now talk about the need for more police but no one wants to be a cop in cities like Chicago anymore due to the extreme danger they now face after being demonized as racist murderers by the left. And now after Memphis even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists. So now we have a totally unworkable society. This does not bode well for our future.
The fact that Coleman left this up even after he left the conversation is an indication of how thorough he is and how much integrity he’s going for in his channel’s postings. 👏
Such a great discussion. We need a whole lot more of these types of conversations.
Not an American, but I'd love to have Coleman's shirt.
Coleman isn't an American either.
Exceptional! From the Coleman part through the political and foreign policy parts, I thank you for your scholarship and learnedness - all the books you have to read an write an just everything that you all must do to bring high-level thinking to a wider audience. I know that I haven’t got the time to read and educate myself like you do and yet I am able to get some sort of start on how to think about all these topics from your insights and summaries of all this stuff. I am (slightly) more intelligent and informed after I listen to this and all your work. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏🏻
BLM did have an impact on me. They causes me to withdraw all support, and empathy for the black community
💯 yes me too. it actually made me read about the slavery trades + African history and when u do that you’ll feel less sympathy for them as a ppl.
Coleman, your commentary was superb, as it always is. Hope you’ll return to their podcast soon.
“Buck dancing”?! Nope. Just an independent thinker.

This is interesting. Colman has voiced a facet of police misbehaviour which is drowned out by some rather unpleasant mischief makers, thank you this more balanced view point.
18:48 how to help poor black children in education.
23:55 to 25:30 - Example of the danger of exaggerating racism.
Slavery was not a "crime"; it was legal, and legal all around the world. It was wrong, but it was not illegal. One aspect of history is the positive evolution of human conduct in some areas, such as slavery. Are we going to have reparations in 5 generations for descendants of blacks who were denied a proper education during their school years?
Just found you Coleman. Great content, great perspective. You will go far in life.
Great point at 25:32. There is no fear whatsoever from the left that the problem of racism might be exaggerated--that possibility isn't even considered, and is met with mockery, rather than a sincere examination of the negatives associated with exaggerating the problem.
ANYBODY CLAIMING TO BE FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICAN AMD YOUR NOT THEN KEEP REPERATIONS OUT YOUR MOUTH BECAUSE YOUR NOT QUALIFIED
So Wonderful ! Spot on !
It's like trying to tell first-generation brit, Germ, Russia, Italian how American should be ran
Long listener and general admirer.
My first time hearing the argument that pandemic wasn't the cause of crime increase because it wasn't replicated in other nations... It also seemed like that this point was presented as evidence that BLM movements demands around policing were a substantial or primary cause. While I find it plausible and probable that the movement's impact on policing was a contributing factor, I also find the analysis as argued here and elsewhere unfortunately weak.
With regard to the differences between the USA and other nations during the pandemic... There are just so many unique aspects of the USA regarding pandemic response and it's politicalization, the socialization and economics of those engaging in crimes, and cultural prominence of aggression and guns.
I strongly suspect a serious examination of general rise in crime would find that BLM activity was a probable contribution, but hardly a dominant cause. Examining the nature of the spectrum and volume of criminal activity during the period, makes it difficult to find a plausible causative link to BLM.
That said... I wasn't impressed by the movement, and on balance suspect it was more a misleading and harmful distraction that mostly drew popularity from peoples desire to engage in positive change. Lots of passion and turmoil.. much misdirected...quite confused and disruptive... consciousness raising, but misleading...
On balance:
I think it did more short-term harm than good.
I suspect it did more long-term harm than good, but am far less certain, as new commitments to concern about others might be redirected more positively in future.
Excellent! I learned so much.

I know general McMaster is a public figure and he is a part of this program, but for some reason something about this still seems surreal.
Great intel..thank you for making us smarter and wiser.
My father was a slave of the Japanese on the 'Death Railway' in Burma.
By the time he was freed the mental and physical damage he suffered was permanent. The knock on direct effect on our family was catastrophic.
Am I entitled to reparations from the Japanese ? Surely I have easily as good a claim as black Americans ?
What do you think ?
And how about the descendants of slaves who may present as white today? They seem to be specifically excluded from this proposition. Which gives the lie to any honest intention of justice.
People don't know their history. That guys argument is so simple, yet correct. I didn't know that Grover Cleveland had two non-consecutive terms. So there's a historical precedent. Plus stringing all the other basic rules of if this, then that together. The result of all of this could be another historic (and for the public), unexpected win.
Coleman's comment that bad faith actors have no interest in "the debt being repaid" b/c the power of unpaid debt is too powerful. This is about politics.
This is an excellent interview 🙏🏽
Thanks!
I’d love to to share my perspective with the Hoover family .
If I was raised in the hood with few options to get out of it and I’m in high school, I would join the military, learn how to stand on my own, learn how to work as a team member, lean how to respect others with pride and purpose. I’d also benefit by the great programs that exist for soldiers to get educated, technical training and much much more. The Pentagon gets the largest part of our national budget and it is never taken advantage of by the American people.
I had the idea of a new movement to reinvent songs of peace and love from the 70s by today’s artists.
Van speaks the truth
Brilliant
This brother is intelligent he’s dope but he’s young yet he’s on point I’m checking him out great job on the interview with the brothers who wrote the myths of left and right
We are the new normal BGR 🕸️
I’d love to talk with you -as a young Black man.
Was GF murdered? I know that we were told he was murdered and certain judgements were made but the evidence that he died of a drug overdose and general poor health rather than the compression on his neck which was not continuous is just as strong. There is also the responsibility of the un indicted co conspirator in this case - the mob that prevented the ambulance medics from arriving in a timely manner. I think perceptions have been managed too aggressively for us to refer to GF as murdered.
34:02 as an African I have to disagree on the "your ancestors capture and sold slave..." like they say in Africa, the hunter only tell his own view of a hunting day... What do I mean? Well Europeans are the one that wrote the narrative above "slave trade". Since there was a slave trade people start thinking on one end, there must has been Africanw selling their brothers. I will say no as african never had the mean to stop slavery.
When people keep labeling people wrongly they end up needing to explain stuff and just like the Bible it causes so much additional labels to cover up past misunderstanding.
Wrongdoings and below par behaviors....

You are correct!
PS remember what it felt like at 11:59pm on 12-31-99?!?
Sure was a moment....
I actually think one acre and a mule would be perfect. Particularly if the one acre comes with mineral and water rights etc.
Why does it seems like you are patronizing Mr. Coleman. He has well thought out and a valuable perspective. Just have him on more. I would love to have people like him over for dinner to just have friendly, effective debates. Only way we as a society will move forward.
16:12 Exactly.
'Colour blindness in a post-racial society.'
Coleman Hughes is Latino, thus reparations is none of his business.
Boom
How come TVO didn't have that feedback because they were saying that they needed more police. So I need to compare notes first.
How charming and sycophantic we are toward black men who agree with us. Once again mediocrity is hailed as exceptional just because it is black. How entertaining. Yes I’m black .
About 34:00f
I wasn't aware of the amount Americans feel kind of guilt or rather say responsibility for slavery, just as many of my fellow Germans do for the Holocaust.
They had me smiling from the beginning
You can't fire people like that cause we have certain standards like employment agreements, so we need to give notice. It's for the protection of employees. And I think you guys tried to change it but not sure whether it's already agreed or not cause I dunno.
Still love Coleman, but find it sad his thinking is always pushed back towards race chatter as there are few new ideas about race that haven't been discussed forever. It's as if we only think black people can talk about race problems and he's way smarter than that.
I really wish you run for president one day. I will vote for you

_If the government were serious about approving life of poor black kids and poor kids in general, it would implement these practices into the school system._
Good point. Someone who claims his goal is fighting poverty is actually interested in poverty persisting so that (s)he doesn't get her/his job done and become superfluous.
Her/his measures must _look_ fancy but they shouldn't achieve too much.
_The goal is not to win the war but to continue it._

The recession equals Trump theory is interesting especially considering that his tax cuts to the middle and working classes are supposed to expire in 2025 I believe. I think he meant it to be the year after his second term ended but there you go. That plus a recession is an interesting mix.

Coleman, i am disappointed in these guys. They clearly have limited understanding of urban black communities. As something that I have felt for many many years and something that Candace Owens pointed out which I was pleased to hear that she agreed with my concerns is the two major problems facing most American black communities are out of wedlock childbirth and lack of early childhood education and the general disrespect for education amongst so many in those communities, even despite the desires of their mothers.
If a child’s brain is not exercised from ages 0 to 4 by being read to, by being allowed to ask questions and to probe the world and get reasonable answers to the questions, their brains will not develop properly. That is a medical fact.
I know way too many Black men participating in illegal behavior who feel they cannot compete in society because they had “head trauma” when they were younger and have problems with memory and processing information. In my opinion, most of them are probably negatively affected by the shortcomings of their early childhood caregivers.
Throwing money at people is not gonna solve anything and in fact will likely make the situation even worse.
I want that shirt -
Wow, you need to come to the UK and speak to people here. Are you on Twitter? I’d love to follow you.
Damm cole .i like wat u said!
He understands that it wasn't a war and they are making love. 😚😂
I noticed the obscuration created by the imprecise language of racism - and propose a more precise use of language .
You are all giving Trump's thought process way too much credit. He does not consider any of these high minded factors, it's only how does it benefit him directly in the short term. He doesn't consider anything else, he doesn't even understand most of the details brought up here.
C'mon, that Rushmore was pretty lame and heavily tilted toward recent history and Hoover Fellows. There have been a lot of effective foreign policies, particularly early in the existence of the United States. Diplomats behind successful policies include Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, John Quincey Adams, William Seward, James G. Blaine, George Marshall , George Kennan, Dean Acheson, and of course George Schultz. My Rushmore would have Franklin, Adams, Marshall, and Schultz.
Left is doing what it always does, what it did with Greta Thumberg, wheeling out someone harder to criticise.
"There's no precedent for giving later generations reparations". You're wrong. Germany just got finished paying reparations from ww2, and virtually no one who fought against, nor no one who was a in that war is alive today. To reap the rewards of the nation state, and to also reap its detriments, IS the precedent. Black people are a group. We are directly affected by the legacy of slavery being their direct descendants.
@@foodconnoisseur9321 You're wrong. The reparations payment for ww2 was to the Allies nations due to the war destruction, not the Holocaust. They just got done paying in 2010.

Again. Strawman arguments, Coleman. Who in favor of reparations is making the case of how lives would be different. It is a debt. Doesn’t matter how or if it will change anyone’s life at all.
That's for not being on the ground and opening the mouth to ask questions
Slavery in America was very different than anywhere else in the world. It was barbaric. Comments like this makes me sad.
This country was also founded on genocide. Over 100 million native Americans were murdered.
The civil war was about capitalism. North and south fighting over wealth. Slavery was just a side effect. Facts!
Most Ancestors of Africans who capture captured slaves will tell you that their ancestors had no clue about the horrors of American slavery. No other form of slavery in the history of mankind was that barbaric.
This young man should speak only for himself . Both of my parents, grandparents, etc., were black. Had a boatload of children. My dad alone had 27 children. I can sincerely say that most of my family and friends, about 95% do not have white friends.
I am not from this country and US is a police state. I live in suburbs and even here everywhere there is police.

I don't mind the 1619 project for the actual attempt and message it sends. I do agree their inability to get big factual claims corrects is BAD and gives Republicans an easy way to attack and discredit it. But however much u think the opinions expressed are subjective and backward to how some may view it, u can't call the majority of the essays "historically wrong or inaccurate"
But again, it just shows how much slavery and race have been discussed in this country. We've been arguing about it for at least 200 years and the amount of study and scholarship, books written,history taught, fed holidays observed, politicians speaking about it daily ect is staggering and overwhelming. We've been more or less An open book to anybody who WANTED to find out anything about slavery and the Civil war, the horrors and missteps of reconstruction, the fervent racism that has flourished for more than a century after the Civil War and any other topic on race between blacks and whites in America.So to pretend that we've covered it up as a society is manifestly untrue. Whether schools have properly included lessons on the role of the subjugation of African Americans or whitewashed it can be debated. But public schools imo don't have the obligation to make the society we live in as bad as possible. Especially on the taxpayer dime. That may sound d like a slimy excuse but PUBLIC GOV SCHOOLS do need to teach real history but they do need to teach it in a manner that compromises kids and their view of their own country at a young age thus tearing society apart.

THIS DUDE CAN'T GIVE US ADVICE WHEN HE IS PUERTO RICAN AMD SAID HE TRYING TO IDENTIFY AS BLACK FOR GAIN..😂 TETHER
Your awesome Coleman, the others after you sounded a bit neo-conish for my taste
Race is the last thing on my mind. The internet has created a panopticon and that should worry everyone.
Interesting that you would allow these republicans to ask you questions that they knew how you would answer. It seems to me that you played into their hand and that may have been your intention. One of them used the word Marxism several times. In my view of your ‘conversations’ you criticize the left routinely but I’m not hearing very much criticism of the right so are we to assume that you believe criticizing MAGA isn’t necessary because lots of others do it or is it because you support the right more than the left? It’s just a thought.
Why can it be about both issues......race and police accountability,
At this moment in time there more slavery then there EVER was.
In absolute terms there’s more slaves than ever, but as a percentage of the world or as a rate, it’s the lowest.
In prison and elsewhere.....
@@d_e_a_n how do you KNOW that though?!
@@laurenlockdown2791
Slavery used to be legal in all countries. Now it’s illegal in all counties. In Greece and Rome maybe up to 1/3 of everyone was a slave. There was a massive population explosion when we figured out germs and hand washing and medicine. In absolute terms a lot of things went up but this isn’t the best way to measure things in my opinion. Since we quickly went for 1 billion to like 7 billion, all numbers went up in absolute terms. More people meant more people hiccuping but it would be weird to say hiccuping has become a bigger problem today. Rather, we look at the rate of hiccuping. I can’t remember the numbers but it think slaves today are a fraction of 1% whereas in the past it was way more.
Great work, interesting, however depressing prospect on likelihood of Trump being re-elected, esp sitting in Europe...
Then they want to dictate what Black people do what their money
For starters, if you’re not a descendent of American slavery, this is not a discussion that you should be having call Min, but I will never understand having this discussion with white people
Coleman’s assessment of police being punished before George Floyd is highly generalized. Many police forces punished officers fully when they screwed up. I’ve met and spoke with those former officers and how they were fired and the reason.
