Experiencing such an elegant mind has elevated me tremendously. Can you imagine if we created a political space to discuss our many challenges with respectful and honest dialogue? Coleman’s example is a model.
Why this kid isn't on Oprah and the new intellectual rockstar in black america just goes to show how broken black culture and the left in general really is. Truth is incompatible with leftist thought.
I wish I knew other people who are objective like the people in the comments of the video. Practically everyone I know in the USA is quite biased on one side or the other. It is intellectually frustrating. Would be great to meet others like Coleman Hughes and the people in these comments.
The gentlemen isn't programmed to dwell in group consciousness. He's simply a lone voice who has broken away from external nonsense. Color doesn't move him. He moves himself. Bravo.
this is the problem w/ academicians and their idealistic take on life .... the "world" as we know it has yet to fully divested itself of 'in-group think' or 'us' vs 'them' mentality. when it actually shed itself of such limited perspective and recognizes that we are one and of the 'One' in words and deed, we are no different from animals in the wild. but then check that, at least animals do not hoard/over kill or commit genocides within the same species. As an example teachings of Yeshua ben Yousef is about as ideal as they come but have we as a race become better in the last 2,000 years because it is followed in deeds and actual actions. The WWI and WWII was fought between so called Christian nation to tune of 80 million killed ... so then answer is niet! but why? because we cannot let go of the fear or illusion of 'lack' aka: not enough to go around ... also the mother of all illusion! Human wax nostalgic about certain ideal situations in thought but as long as we are preoccupied w/ body identity thoughts they are just fantasies. become one w/ the spirit instead or is it called enlightenment ... but the irony is enlightenment is exclusively a personal affair and cannot be achieved in mass!
in other words as learned as Coleman Hughes seems and as logical as he sounds he basically is impressed with the effect of his regurgitation of intellectual inventory has on others ... what you think Chris!
@@tianzi49 If its original wonderful. Does not everyone regurgitate some aspect for their arguments? I think you write very well! He is possibly intellectually conceited maybe, Im not an intellect, just an observer so to speak....
Unflappable also. I've never heard anyone get under his skin. Sam Harris was known to be a very cool cucumber but Coleman has him beat by a mile, and he didn't spend years meditating to get there.
He tells no lies. At a family goodbye dinner at a restaurant one of my favorite uncles said “Pri, did you vote for Trump?” I have no personal unction to vote for Donald Trump but at the same time also found no fault in him that wasn't also present in others of a different party. So far, my desire to get people to see similarities has often led to being told I too am not Black enough. Far from it. Love being Black (though I had no say in it)! Black family, Black husband, Black children. I just don’t do imbalance, hypocrisy nor blind loyalty. I like this young man. He knows, acknowledges and shows pride in his Blackness but is swayed by facts while possessing an internal locus of control. Proud to hear his perspective. #NoVictimsOverHere
spot light very uneducated, backed by emotion and hatred. This is a bright young man who instead of blindly letting people think for him. He read books, understood the stances both sides and realized the left isn’t where reason and logic lies.
@spot light I’m not even conservative and I don’t agree with all of his beliefs. But I think he brings up some really good points, uses facts, and had principled arguments. He doesn’t seem far right or far left, I feel like he is a man who thinks for himself and formulates his own opinions and intelligent hypotheses. I might not fully agree with everything he said, but I don’t see what can possibly be the problem with his well articulated insights. You might not agree with him, but he’s clearly pretty smart and has some thoughtful arguments. What is so bad about that?
@spot light Trying to keep the conversation about racism as been a very counter productive method of engaging reality. How about making a pause on all the hatred and bias and look at the facts and statistics?!" Maybe then you will see that personal choice and responsability is really a thing. If you want to ear this from someone that is from your community : Thomas Sowell Funny that when critical thinking comes to the table, all that systemic racism, gender pay gap and many other "issues" go right out of the window, they are simply not true. You and others like you are running on "perception" of what you think that is real, but reality IS NOT what you think it is.
Coleman Hughes is factual, rational, insightful, logical and thoughtful. I hope we all become critical and independent thinker and not just follow the mainstream medias.
As much respect I have for this man, I think his critical thinking may be to his advantage in the sense that now society more and more wants people like him. He has very little competition so that allows him more easily to shine, whereas if he was like these idiots the NYT promotes he would have a lot more competition.
This is a shrewd man. What I mean is. He's very specific on things not said and very blase on broadness. Nuance. Grey area thinking. This man goes against the tide. He believes in going against the tide. He cherishes it. In any form of idea. I can respect that.
At this point in time there are 11 dislikes, please if one (or all) of you that registered a dislike come back and explain if you would what it is that led you to that conclusion. No argument just want to know your opinion.
These are the ones I was able to jot down from this interview: -Shelby Steele: “White Guilt” “Shame” -John McWhorter: “Authentically Black” Ethan Fosse (I believe that’s the correct spelling) And studies from Pew and Gallup research
Somebody give me a roundtable! Then place Jordan Peterson, Douglas Murray, Ben Shapiro, John McWhoter, Stefan Molyneux, Christina Hoff Sommers, Karen Straughan, Cassie Jaye, Bettina Arndt, Hans Rosling, Steven Pinker, Jonathan Haidt, Sam Harris and Coleman Hughes around it. Let them talk and debate - perhaps even hack each others heads off - for 10 hours, and I have no doubt in my mind, that the world would be close to being fixed completely! So many great thinkers under the same roof is what the world truly needs now! Somebody please make it happen! The politicians, the ignorant protesters - and the mainstream media - has fucked up the West. Only "Knowledge" can repair it!
I don't know the others, but Peterson is saying obviously so much nonsense, especially about Marxism, he has obviously no idea what it is... Just look up, what Richard Wolff says about him - Peterson even refused to debate him - and then says, Marxist won't talk to him...
@@notto8978 I would have to strongly disagree with that. I've studied Marxism to a great length, and wrote a thesis about it, and I have not heard Peterson say anything untrue about Marxism. In fact, I've doublechecked most his most controversial statements (not just about Marxism, but also about questions of biology and psychology), and they all seem to be supported by a great deal of credible empirical evidence (lot's of peer reviews, references, citations and with a solid methodology). The only area where he becomes slightly muddy, is when he speaks of religion. Here - for obvious reasons perhaps - he takes some liberties. But when it comes to politics, he's usually spot-on. Can you provide me with an example of where he is wrong about marxism? Too often people are critizing Jordan, without giving concrete examples (...or without actually having heard what he said). That's why most critizism come in the shape of Ad-hominem attacks on his character (the left's favorite counter-argument strategy). I hardly hear any hardcore fact-oriented counter-argument against Jordan. The most obvious reason for this might be, that reality is on his side? But in postmodern societies, as we all know by now, there is no place for objective reality. Because that would mean that somethings are more true than others, and we can't have that....
@@notto8978 If you haven't heard about the others, then you probably should have a look at them. I get the sense it will do you some good. It's healthy - and educational - to stay clear of echo-chambers and filter-bubbles, and to listen to what people are talking about on the other side of the fence every once i a while ;)
@@McCallaFilms For example one time he says sth. like "OK, so let's get precise, what is my privilige, is it 10%, 15%?" I don't remember the exact words. In any case, he obviously seems to not understand what that means, 'cause if he would, he'd not ask such a stupid question since you can't describe privilige in numbers. Several centuries of oppression have a heavy influence on power structures, culture and the way we view black or white people. Impossible to put into numbers! He rather looks angry that someone suggests that his success is at least in part due to his whiteness and not only to intelligence and hard work. To Marxism - he seems to equate that with stalin, Mao or other dictators, which makes no sense. Marx said that the problem is that the working class does not own the means of production and so he is less paid than he actually generates in wealth. The difference gets to the owner of the means of the production. Thus a rising inequality. You can have a socialist society where for example most companies are owned by their employees, you have health insurance for everyone, free college (all paid by taxes) and you have a society freer than ever seen on this planet. Without a dictature. Without genocide. But instead Peterson just says "Stalin", "Mao", "Khmer rouge in Cambodia" instead of actually adressing valid arguments Thanks for your response btw
I’m a 45 year old man, industrial designer earning a solid six figure income! I may not know much about anything, but I know for a fact (at the risk of my left testicle), that this young man will NOT be found attractive by the vast majority of young attractive African American women!
You are trying to make a point about black women's preferences, but somehow you find it relevant to mention your own age, gender, occupation and salary. How did you come to that decision?
@@gustavkarlsson86 For clarification, my age and gender were mentioned because I want readers to know that I'm a man interested in women, and that I'm old enough to know about the preferences of women back in the day. My profession and income were mentioned because I want readers to know that I'm college educated (hence affecting my taste in women), and I'm presently wealthy enough to attract gold diggers. There's a difference between what young attractive black women gravitated to back in the day, and what that demographic finds attractive these days.
I find it hard to believe that black people don't feel that discrimination plays a great part in holding back their progression in life in the USA. It depends on who is asked in the poll and the number who replies. Really found that he says quite a few things that makes sense but a lot of what he says is unbelievable.
Yeah you would expect them to dislike Niki, but only until you realize that their political 'activism' limits itself to political demands that don't impact them. From what I have encouterd online at least. While I think the people who build fair labor/eco business are not neccerily against the systhem, because they are using it for the right pourpouse, ethically speaking. So somone like me too, who buys fairly produced, eco products whenever possible, isn't against the free marked at all, if anything it's about how can we utilise it to produce the greatest good.

A trained white nationalist he just so, happens to be black, and i as a black man leans right but some of these black conservative brothers and sisters got some self hate in them and if you take them to task on this they will say your a black person who is radical or does not want a black man or woman to have a different point of view but that crap don't work on me because I'm a black Republican but I know im still black
Which ones do you think hate themselves? A lot of the ones ive seen get that accusation are just stating that maybe the statistical differences between the AVERAGES of the black community and the general population arent necessarily racism. Things like gang culture or genetics in some cases being credited (which still says nothing about any specific black person)
