The left would be calling you an uncle Tom now regardless of their skin color, racism is predominantly on the left and has always been predominantly on the left period.
Sean Hannity needs to focus on white on white crime
M worr
Why "conservative"? He makes clear logical arguments. How does that put him in some ideological stereotype?
Wow this guy can see that black history is taught religiously but he can't see that climate change is also.
I never understood how you can hate someone who didnt do shit to you personally.
Scapegoating is not necessarily rational.
Twitter is a hell of a drug.
Literally racism
Can I not hate Hitler?
Zsht if you don't take someone killing millions of people who are the same as you personally, idk what to tell you
As a black guy I know exactly how this guy feels. You are indeed indoctrinated to hate white people in your youth. Even the experience of learning that they weren't these monsters happened to me early. In fact the first female I ever considered truly dating was a white girl in my freshman year of high school. It shocked me that not only was I attracted to her, but that she was ok with being cool and hanging out with me, while being bold and honest with me. I wasn't even mad when she didn't like my haircut one day. I was just shocked that she didn't fear it and knew we were secure relationally to bring it up. I grew up in the hood as well and know this problem all too well regarding homicide, among other glaring issues, in the black community. I could go on here for days, but this guy is expressing exactly how I feel about this. Good stuff here. It's craziness.
I'm with you! I grew up in a non-religious Jewish Family and they forever preached to me how "our" people suffered at the hands of all of the other people and to stay with "my own kind". They especially warned me about the "Sh'vaatzas" (the Yiddish word for black people) and to stay away from them. Kind of difficult when you grow up in a predominantly black neighborhood. As a small child I had many black friends. However as I got older their parents were telling them to "stay away from Whitey". When I was a younger man I was often asked my opinion on inter-racial marriage. I simply answered that I was not in favor of it and that humans should only marry humans. Take care and G-d bless.
But that's an important strategy and dividing and conquering the people, Caesar did it, it was a useful tool and that it kept the people from getting together to take back their Universal rights to express their intrinsic and inherent role as human beings. Also think about it if we had true economic freedoms and sound money back in our system will there be any misery in the world? Likely very little, the misery index reveals to us the ultimately government policy and corporate monopolist interest that are the culprits for maintaining this misery. Lack of looking on the freedom credits the moral hazard of creating and turn from their parasitic relationships between people why because they're not able to open up a simple Fruit Stand to compete with the food chain and their left having to fight each other for dead end jobs provided by the corporate office cuz after all you're not allowed to compete on an open Level Playing Field with them common so obviously creates the ideal environment for parasitic violent course of and manipulative relationships amongst the people. A peaceful Society is developed and maintained through their ability to participate in the economy in a meaningful way I can be measured for True Value. What's a happy Society a communist or fascist Society? Massive welfare state that is unsustainable? That destroys families? Is that a happy Society? No it's a miserable Society comets Society that's unstable without any possibility to extract reasonable certainty of the future. Anyway I hope you learned something new and please give me thumbs down thumbs up so that I know that you read this or it wasn't taken down and I invite any opposing views
It's called Critical Race Theory. Pres. Obama got a degree in it from Harvard, and taught it at Chicago U.
@@recoveringnewyorker2243 That's crazy. Those are the things we all have to extricate in order to bridge the gap.
Don't ever stop expressing what you know to be true, especially in public. The cultural left has an interest in keeping the masses divided through misconceived racial and gender narratives. The grievance studies disciplines (Critical, Feminist, Ethnic studies) are just used to give legitimacy to the power play that is being undertaken by resentful intellectuals and the broader cultural elite. You know who I'm talking about: academics, writers, bureaucrats, artists and others like them who snub their nose at practical endeavours. They're resentful that they have relatively low status outside their woke circles.
The reality is that the truth binds people and brings communities together - and that's what the bourgeoisie fears most.
I was raised in a southern democrat home... raised to be suspicious of black people... I went to school and made friends, black and white... I went into the military and learned to trust and respect my fellow soldiers, black and white... I have been pleasantly surprised with so many people I have gotten to know, black and white...

Open mind begets more opportunities mostly positive.
My parents were refugees of WWII and never met black people until they came to the US and had no knowledge of the Atlantic slave trade or the injustices of blacks in the US.
They came in the late 50s. They were too busy, in the US, working and raising children to know the hatred brewing and had no tv. They listened to the radio until the 60s. We were brutalized by blacks and called Germans because we spoke a different language
We were never bussed to school. We walked miles in all types of weather.
Our small "private school" was very diversified. We never distinguished anyone by color but learned about each other's ethnic backgrounds and were taught to love each other which we did.
Hmngbrd77 there were black soldiers in the Army. black people wouldn’t attack you for being German. They attack you for being White. This is a fabricated story.
Racism will never end, as long as pointing it out is profitable.
Also, you're always going to have people who are assholes who are trying to find some reason, any reason to look down on people. A lot of that is just human nature.
@@pittland44 Yes ... but it is common (especially on the left) to gain a higher moral ground by simply calling your opponent the word "racist". If two people are having a discussion or argument and one of those people cant answer a given point then using the word "racist" towards the other will give the higher ground and "victory". In some of the political demonstrations lately it is comical that that two opposing sides will rush to call each other "racist" to gain a higher moral ground.
When I was a child we did much the same. We would say "you have cooties" or "your mother has cooties" which would not only demean your opponent but raise your status since the implication was that you or your mother doesn't have "cooties". But then we grew up and didn't use that anymore.
@@tomwellman1757 Very true indeed. Or sexist, homophobic, islamophobic, misogynist, facist or whatever term is the de jeur insult of the day. The problem as I see it with many decent people who buy into this nonsense (and I'm dealing with two old friends who have bought it hook, line and sinker) is that they don't understand that what the left is truly selling is an unearned sense of moral superiority. They also don't understand that the people who are pushing this are not doing so for good, righteous or noble reasons. It's become a scam and the sad part is that it wasn't always so with things like feminism and civil rights. However, it is now a scam and they defame all the great figures of those movements (MLK, Susan B., Thurgood, Elizabeth Cady, etc.) by using them to justify what is at this point a cult and a shakedown racket.
@@pittland44 Agreed ... makes me wonder when those identity politics people will get around to vilify MLK and remove his statues since I see so many posts that reference his quote “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”.
I imagine that those Identitarians must be livid since in their world "content of their character" means nothing compared to the color of ones skin, ethnicity, or sexual preference.
@Gagan Singh The problem is that there's every incentive to call someone a racist at this juncture even if they aren't one, and there's next to no value in defending someone who's been accused. It's also to the level where anything that left the doesn't like, regardless of intent, context or actual results, is denounced as racist. Case in point I've heard people denounce both home schooling and school vouchers as racists ideas that make people less free. That's patent absurdity but the people who I knew who said that believed it through and through. We're almost quite literally to the point of being back in Salem Mass. In 1692, arguably with considerably less due process for the accused then back in the old puritan days.
Also, the witch hunt for racism is worse than actual racism. Actual racism is, in general, not socially acceptable. You can't just go out and start throwing around the N word or saying that slavery was a good idea. However, calling someone a racist, especially when they aren't, as in the case of Yelp, is extremely destructive and damages peoples careers, studies, families, friendships and in some cases even lives.
My question is, where does this all stop?
I have a dream, that one day a person will be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.
People on the left don't seem to understand that sentiment.
@@jumplots I think it's safe to say that he has implied race shouldn't matter. If you demand that everyone "see" race, it means you have selectively placed every single person into a box or category. This is divisive, subjective and not conducive to harmony. Not everybody who is Black, is 100% Black. Same with White people. Please define White for me.
Then there are the millions of mixed race people who's variety of mix is also infinite. I don't see colour nor do I care. I see cultural traits and content or quality of character. You'll notice it's the left who fan the flames of racism and deliberately keep it alive and thriving.
@@jumplots if MLK was a leftist, Leftism has changed for the worse.
@@jumplots *"Whether or not you see my “color” it doesn’t change my experience"* If nobody saw colour your experience would be the same as my experience. That's the point. I don't deny there is racism, but I can't control other people's behavior. If we didn't see colour, Black people wouldn't be experiencing racism.
*"Why else would there be a BLM movement?"* Black Lives Matter is a self identifying Marxist movement. They are not fighting racism or doing anything productive for Black people. They are an anti White movement that inflames racism.
*"Closing our eyes to color and therefore to the injustice people of color experience"* This doesn't make logical sense. The two aren't equated. You don't have to see colour to see injustice. Again, if we didn't see colour there would be no injustice. If everybody treated people according to the content of the character people would begin to see either people of quality or aholes. Not Black people or White people.
*"Why are affluent communities mostly White?"* Why are White majority countries the most successful? This is where the discussion has to become honest because it's about dysfunctional culture. But the left doesn't want an honest discussion. They want to create victims and a hierarchy of bigotry.
@@jumplots *"While assuming the superiority of your own culture is it possible to see other people as your true equals?"* Yes, because it is the superiority of the culture and not the race. Cultures can evolve and cultures can be embraced or rejected.
I have not come across Coleman Huges before; what a breath of fresh air! Thoughtful intelligent logical and seemingly not driven by ego and emotion and able to articulate the issue clearly.Thank you.
Brilliant writer. Check out his stuff on Quillette.
This is the African-American man emerging on his real 'turf' the solid ground devised of the American dream, the potential in principle be who you decide to be, no matter the obstacles placed purposely in the way..no matter the haters who hold everyone back... what our fore-fathers envisioned for the nation, the world's become one nation... brethren destitute welcome herein to build a life in freedom but not by oppressing another .., coming into their own, to witness this long- awaited home-coming is a blessed event.
I first saw his work on Quillette. The kid is brilliant. I encourage you to read his work on that site. He's ridiculously young with the wisdom of the ancients.
Damo: Don't you know its racist to use adjectives like "intelligent, logical and articulate" for the melanin enhanced.
@@kingdomfreedom8323 No. Its a half Puerto Rican / Black kid deciding to play up his black side because he knows white viewers who need to hear racism is not a real issue will make him very very wealthy, while he becomes a race man for hire. Larry Elder, Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain, and now Candace and this kid. These are all smart black people who decided the real world of work, where racism impacts black lives most (especially on the left), was a place too tough to enter. Racism is mostly played out in the private sector and it is indeed vicious. Hence, and black man with a College degree makes less than a white man with a HS diploma.
Soft spoken, intelligent, and professional. A great thinker.
liquidKi well I’m certainly not right wing but I still think he is a good thinker
Coleman Hughes speaks with facts, historical references and ideas. Nothing today is more refreshing than trying to converse and develop soluions! MLK would be proud!
What a brilliant, clear-thinking young man.
@So Called Black Man Care to elaborate why you think he isn't?
Be careful. Calling a black person brilliant and clear thinking is now racist.
@So Called Black Man its like saying hes articulate. Hell people have said send positive vibes is a subtle spiritual racism
How??? Lmao
@So Called Black Man
"Or maybe you said he's articulate because he reaffirms your affirmations"
OK, that's a reasonable hypothesis. Certainly people are more open to respecting opinions which fit well with their own, so it could be a factor.
But he also DOES speak (and write) very well, for such a young man. I certainly wasn't that good at his age (or even now, probably, but especially then). I respect that; he earns my respect.
Of course I think Ben Shapiro is pretty well spoken (in the admittedly few snippets I've seen), yet I strongly disagree with him on many things. And I think that some people who are "on the same side with me" are decidedly not very articulate. So my evaluation isn't always about agreement. But it's hard to say there is no bias towards more positively evaluating people whose arguments seem more consistent with my synthesis to date. (Which may not be my opinion a few years ago, or next month, depending on the data).
But if you disagree with him, that could be a bias as well. Can you also hold the hypothesis that Coleman Hughes just might actually be very smart and well spoken, regardless of his age or race or politics? Is that possible?
Man, he loves holding that invisible cup.
Shaken, not stirred. xP
Don't hate on the power of the invisible cup!
Lmao 😂
"Cup"..
Blinking Intensifies bahaahha🤣
It’s hard finding friends when you’re a moderate
-Jim Jefferies
When you are looking for friends at the extremes, it sure is. Moderate is not the first word I'd think of when I think of Jim Jefferies though.
BlacksmithTWD ya - right!.... 😆😂🤣
I still like the quote though
This guy comes as close to perfection in speaking as I could ever hope for. His energy, voice, word choice, outfit. I would love to see him in a very high position, something HE creates, for the betterment of this whole country. He’s amazing
I am so in agreement with this man.
Is it just me or do other people in these comments have difficulty finding other nuanced and objective people like the people in these comments and Coleman Hughes?
Racism is not a white persona thing. Black, brown, red, yellow and even rainbow people can be racist too.
Exactly.
@@jumplots why would most white people care about the color of there skin or any really? We live in a diverse age where we mix and match so just having pale skin doesn't mean your not black or asian.
How does skin color create bias? Makes no sense to me.
@@dragonhitman1071 We as a society, live in groups, these groups can often be made up by race because most people in a certain place share physical characteristics such as skin colour. Some groups don't like other groups, that creates a bias that another group is inferior.
@@stephencowling8404 eh mabey I'm different. I never grew up with this bias. Never saw anyone as inferior or superior. Might be cause I'm part of the mixed race group. Lol
@DiDi Goldberg I just dont agree being born a certain color automatically makes you bias. Not offended just having a hard time agreeing with the statement as neither me nor people around me have had any bias influenced by skin color.
I am a black man and watching Coleman is like somebody took all the exact thoughts out of my mind and articulated them in a manner so eloquently that anybody could understand. I have many of the same thoughts, beliefs and Ideas as Colman but not the ease to express myself without the frustration inside when i feel people just don't get it. I grew up a a far left guy from "the nieghborhood" and believed all the "woke" talking points that exist today. Overtime I started to change and realize that that a lot off the commentary that people like Don Lemon speak is really a hindrance to the growth and overall empowerment of the black race. I am not a right-wing, Candice Owen's loving republican because I am far from that. I just want the culture of black people to change and the black youth to stop walking around with a chip on the their shoulder believing "everybody is harming and impacting their growth and opportunity because they are black." If Colman had a political party, I'd join on day 1. I know there are other black men out there who think like me. We have to find away to come together.
I agree & feel the same way 100%.
Denial of differences is silly. Even children notice differences between each other. The conversation shouldn't whether or not we notice differences but transcending those differences to acknowledging the individual. Rand said the smallest minority is the world is the individual.
Totally, most of us are not color blind, but many of us turn a blind eye to cultural differences and live in that space by ignorance. Well traveled people embrace differences in my opinion, because once your in an uncomfortable culture you quickly want to understand their culture, then acceptance enters the space naturally. Just my experience.
True. Children notice differences. But until someone start to tell them those differences matter they don't see them as something that is wrong/right.
That's so true. And so many other important things about individuals are now being swept under the carpet.
And differences is great. Wouldn't be awful if we were all somewhat the same?
Guy Loften true. Sadly there are people on both the right and left that rage against that exceptance of culture.
I'm a white British woman, I grew up in the 70s when racism was still around, however it felt like Martin Luther King's philosophy had won the argument, won over people at a fundamental level. I do believe that part of the British cultural mindset is fairness and fair play and treating people as individuals chimes with our values very much. The few BAME people in my town were a curiosity, yes, but we thought they were cool, they were nice normal people so after a while nobody cared, they weren't 'black' anymore - we knew them, they were the Pinnocks, the Kings, the Chin-Yues, the Rathores. They had nicknames like everyone else, they had the same accent as us, dressed like us, shared our values and cultural references, supported England in the World Cup. When I look back I miss that sense of shared cultural identity and pride. Race is the least interesting thing about someone, it's all about culture and values for me.
Racism is still around though
@@Tgaxgriffen Not like it was then! There are very few real racists out there nowadays. I've experienced racism from black people so I know it still exists, I just don't judge all black people by those individuals.
When racism was still around? Like we haven't seen how the British media treated Meghan and continues to treat black football players. What a joke.
@@cosybadass9954 Meghan Markle is disliked because of her attitude not because of her race. Black footballers are hero worshipped by millions of white kids. Don't try playing the race card it's mostly bullshit.
The small pox/murder rate analogy nails it perfectly.
His analogy is spot on. I like his last point on diminishing returns.
Both sides are the same, don’t be fooled.
@@jrs351 facts don't take sides, only arrogant people do.
@@yifanwang7136 your comment is irrelevant.
JR S your comeback is irrelevant
@@yifanwang7136 it wasn’t a comeback. You aren’t even on topic. Sit down somewhere and think about your flaws.
this was quite fascinating to watch; I liked the sense of nuance that he brings; he is not quick to make all or nothing statements, or to totally embrace other conservatives, this gives him a lot more credibility to me, as someone coming from the left but looking for other viewpoints.
Awesome guys. Absolutely loved the conversation!
@PhilosophyInsights Never heard of Coleman Hughes before (I'm not from the US) but he appears to be someone worth reading more about - just wanted to say thanks for bringing him to my attention.
People's perception of racism these days does not correlate with the definition of the word, "racist," is any typical dictionary. It's amazing.
SO true! That is what I think all the time. Last week someone tried to explain to me why it is racist if someone doesn't want to date someone of a certain body type LMAO
Martin luther king is weeping over how the descendants of the people he devoted his life to, to bring a world of equality and acceptance are destroying everything he and many others sacrificed and worked for.

@@WTN416 is it a coincidence that it was by a white guy

@WildSandwich thank you for reminding just how racist people like you are you didn’t leave out a single stereotype white peoples have of black people in this country!!!
His hand gestures are helping him think and translate those thoughts into verbal language. It's not that bad geez.
Bigotry of Low Expectations
Austin Pasquarelli Bingo. White liberals hold blacks in such contempt that they believe we can not compete in the free market place of ideas, goods and services without their “help” and their “pity”. That is racism. The Democrats have always been the party of racists. Look it up.
The soft bigotry of low expectations - George W Bushes speech writer.
@@devolivia9774 They also believe that blacks do not have full agency, and thus are not fully responsible for their actions (instead they blame "society"). And on top of that, they want to decide what black people should think, spewing vile racist hatred if a black person thinks differently than they think he should. Just ask any black conservative or libertarian about the kind of names that they are called by leftists.
@@liquidKi that has nothing to do with race though, black people can be rich and have both parents and white people can be poor with only one parent
Well said. Could be said of all skin colors, with no exclusions.
Dave "How do we have this conversation" Rubin
YOU'RE HAVING IT RIGHT NOW.
He explained this SO WELL! Thank you for articulating this in such a way I could understand it all the way through. And also brought to my attention things I still need to learn and grasp.
Amazingly intelligent young man with enviable clarity of thought and eloquence. I admire his ability to articulate his perspectives on emotionally charged issues with perfect intellectual honesty. God bless Coleman Hughes.
I always hear about the "Conversation" we're not having or need to have.
Is this that conversation?
Yes
No, that " conversation" they want you to have involves you sitting there sheepishly allowing some lefty to tell you how evil you are.
Eminence, it is...
jonah hex the “conversation” is what the right wants not the left, this is what the right wants, both sides civility talking on a topic
No.
Seems like this person needs to be way more widely known and spoken on. He seems so fair in his assessment. What a profoundly objective-seeming individual.
This is so great. I wish we could all see each other the way this man does. And I love Coleman Hughes and Dave Rubin too!
Coleman Hughes, you not only intellectual but very switched on to what is happening. Respect to you, fella..
We need to see our character over identity
Identity doesn't really exist, is my view.
Unfortunately, based on the comments it seems like a lot of the audience on your videos aren’t here for the rational thinking and perspective of the guest. They are more interested in seeing a black man denounce racism as the number problem in the black community. To anyone reading this, hopefully his words aren’t only fueling a narrative that is more IDEAL for your point, but they are providing you with a deeper understanding of the topic at hand.
Exactly....glad some people see beneath the surface.
Which surface is that you guys?? Not sure why y'all are feeling the need to downplay the information presented here. It's pretty cut and dry....systemic racism is not a major factor in the inequality of outcomes in America. Hopefully your own preferred narrative isn't holding you back from accepting this.
A hit dog will holla
@@dramaticsigh9095 please enlighten me what I am missing then sir
I believe you misunderstood what I typed. You almost seemed offended by the way you typed your last message unless I read it wrong
It is so great to hear a proper viewpoint like this. I grew up amongst diversity & get some weird and curious looks when I demonstrate these experiences.....from all races. We are so conditioned to be at one another's throats that its quite sickening. Does make me feel good to see others who can express their views without being labeled & judged because they truly want a better world.
I’m a white male. I have been in a wheelchair for a wheelchair for 17 years, I am also a paralegic and I can't spell. I copied Oscar Robertson (a black man) in learning to play basketball. I loved and danced to black music, especially Motown. I used to have black friends. I was shot at in the black riots of 1967. My grandparents were very poor. Way back, one of my great great grandfathers was a confederate soldier who married a cherokee woman. I'm here because they had children. No one had slaves, even when it was legal. I honor and love Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.. I admire their courage in championing freedom, and liberty and in creating the US Constitution. I identify as an American.
@Jau Jo context of his sentence would suggest that "no one" refers to the nouns before (I.E. his GG grandfather and his cherokee wife) and not the nouns afterwards the reader has not gotten to yet
First time I've heard Coleman Hughes, he seems incredible eloquent, smart, and reasonable
If you can't question climate change then nothing is on the table for discussion.
Problem is, the climate change proponents really do have way too many holes and problems with their "science" that when anyone arrogantly states that it's true or "the science is settled", I tend to question that person's judgment on other issues.
Well thats why they turn to fear tactics to scare people into believing it. You get CNN constantly talking about it, you get "documentaries", you even get it in movies. I've seen 2 movies in the last 2 weeks where the key plot point was that climate change was going to make the world uninhabitable within 1 generation . Anyone with a brain knows thats nonsense. But its still constantly pushed. So it makes you wonder, why, if something is objectively true, would they need to create so much propaganda around it? And why would they need to attempt to attribute everything to climate change despite proof that they have nothing to do with it? And even when they are proven wrong on results of climate change, like on the number of hurricanes, they just pretend they aren't wrong. Why, if all you cared about was facts, would you ignore facts that objectively prove you wrong?
There’s idiots, fools, then people that think climate change will go away because it’s bad for economics.
So clear, articulate and intelligent. Wonderful guest.
What a calm, eloquent and level-headed speaker (y)
And Biden would say Hughes “ain’t Black, man.”
Jesse 1437 can you imagine if Trump said that? Wow, what the left can get away with ...

Such an important conversation!
Hello Reuben and Coleman, great quote near the start.
Love your shows Dave.
Guy is highly intelligent and he's making good points. I'd love to see him in discussion with Jordan Peterson.
I was thinking that while watching. I hope they can be on together soon.
For a really interesting discussion, imagine him debating Barack Obama.
He is not on Jordan's level, never will be.
The Scally Trader you think when Jordan was his age that Jordan could stack up? I don’t think so.
He's got his own channel and where he discusses stuff with many famous people - Sam Harris, Steven Pinker, Neil deGrass Tyson and others. Perhaps Peterson one day.
This young man is educated, draws on facts and statistics and most importantly common sense in how he lives his life. He does not allow others to define who he is nor play a professional victim. If you perceive things the way your expected too like sheep you will never succeed in being self made.
Much respect to him.
His view is heavily slanted in that he constantly omits the reality of actual white racist wrongdoings on the left as well as the right!

coleman makes a good point on diminishing returns. we have rhubarb in our back yard, it's been there since we moved in years ago. each year we mowed over it along with the grass because nobody here cares for it in cooking. it got to the point where it would just grow short and stay short and mowing over it did nothing. eventually it just died off completely on it's own without any more mowing and a nice even patch of grass grew over replacing where it was. we didn't need to rip up the ground looking for every last quarter inch of root.
That's actually a good analogy
I took an Islamic culture class in the 1980s in college. The professor was a liberal Pakistani woman. Very objective teaching, great course. She described the atmosphere in Saudi Arabia during a festival. Some people in urban areas leave their door wide open so strangers can stop in and help celebrate. Kind of amazing from the perspective of the US, that a city could be that safe. Yes, the price of perfect social order is tolerating total religious fascism. Horrific punishment if anyone steps out of line. I think Coleman has it down and it's chilling. That is the society that liberals want to create, through cancel culture and the rest. They will destroy any social impurity they can find if they have the power to do so, and they often do. Social justice has replaced religion for many people. In order to create their utopian society free of racism, they will have to rid society of the racists. Or those they decide are racist.
Left cant be liberal. Liberal is in the dictionary
That's the point of Left they want total control and the Right they just let the people figure what they want without interfering
Yep. They’re very Puritanical.
Very accurate portrayal indeed. One thing, it is small and needs to be clear because of severe misinterpretations. Liberal is not LEFT. Conservative is not RIGHT. That confusion, misrepresentation, shuts down communication neatly as effectively. Very important. Look up liberal in the dictionary, look up conservative in the dictionary. They do both evolve and both are the balance, 'checks and balances ' are all about. OBTW, DNC/RNC totally corrupt, groups that co-opted legitimate govt function for power. Illegitimate and coercive.
You're idealizing Saudi Arabia? You've got to be kidding. The Muslim world had to be dragged to its knees in order to give up slavery BY THE WEST.
I think that was one of the most valid points ever made.
Very interesting discussion, thank-you
Very interesting guy. 24 years old. Man, keep it up. Always interested in seeing what comes from intellectuals with this kind of integrity and this amount of bravery in pursuit of truth.
I receive what he’s saying BUT his experience is NOT everyone’s experiences. All black people do not have the same experiences. It’s not just the left... there’s racist on both the Right & Left. It’s all crazy. I just want to live a good life, take care of my family and giving glory to God. I don’t care about right/left, whatever; whether we believe it or not we all came from the same God and when it’s over we will stand before the same God. It’s His judgement that matters to me. But I’m here for this young man expressing his opinion based on his experience. Kudos.
Did my comment offend you? And I’m asking that seriously because I made a comment that pertains to me and me only. Stating my opinion after listening to this young man’s take on racism. I didn’t ask any questions, I didn’t push God on anyone or say anything that could be offensive so why are you bothering me by replying? Seriously, life is too short to fuss over mess like opinions and who did what when and why. I’m sorry you’re offended. Try to have a better day.
Who are the "left" Saying that the left are all like this is the same as me calling all of the right neo-Nazis. Most people are neither left or right they are a mixture of differences. For example I believe in the 2nd amendment but I'm also for a national health care system. Saying that all people or worse assuming that they are either left or right is just promoting tribalism that is meant to polarize a nation.
Well said
The mainstream left has gotten very extreme. The left has left what was once the left. But I agree, anyone who goes a 100% down party lines and doesn't think for themselves is an idiot. Then it becomes a cult and you become a lemming.
DICK TRICKLE hi dick trickle, i suggest you read up on political theory. liberals in america are still the right, not the left at all.
The "left" would be the collective intelligentsia that crafts and disseminates the political narrative of the ideological "left wing" in western politics. The left wing controls and dominates the following institutions; Hollywood, The entire Media (except fox news and a few internet outlets), all Social media, Universities, the Tech industry, the DNC.
@@erieschl Over 75% of Americans hold some form of liberal views. America is a free market system if these companies could make more money putting out radical right views then they would do so. Think of all the action heroes in movies. They are espousing liberal views of freedom and equality of all people on earth not authoritarian right wing views of one country. The difference between the left and right wings is the difference in values in Star Trek's federation and the Klingon Empire.
Thank you!
I guess we all cope in different ways. May we all have an open heart and mind.
Most of racism falls down to very basic and fundamental human psychology eg. novelty aversion, in group preference, pattern recognition rather than ingrained bigotry or any other external imposition. We cannot eradicate these underlying causes. Any misguided attempt to solve a problem based on flawed understanding of the cause will be ineffective. I think a lot of progress has been made, but careful analyses are required at this point not to make things worse, and to understand what has worked historically.
Regarding structural issues, life will always be tougher for some people than others.
Lol please explain this to white America!!
There can be no utopia, really
Historically speaking it is imopssible to differntiate class from race. Colonialism was controlling class through race (Indian caste system as the biggest example). If you have historically supported people of one skin colour and disenfranchised those of another that is basically state sanctioned racism. Now jump forawrd 200 years and look at the social situations of the opressors and the opressed. The opressors are inheritors of generational wealth and are enjoying the fruits of slavery (I'm talking about the land owning slavers, not the poor ´whites). The opressed are still experiencing systemic racism in the form of an unfair judicial system, generational problems caused by mass incarceration, poverty, rampant drug problems and gang violence exacerbated by racist policies and police systems.
Racism may be an inherently psychological problem, but now that the modern world is so heavily intertwined with the repercussions of and continuation of racist policies for 400+ years we cannot simply say it is a cognitive problem. Racism has and will continue to benefit certain people over others due to the nature of living in a post colonial world. To ignore this concept is naieve and hand waving away all of the massive strcturual problems that racism and racist policies have created in this world.
It's lazy and destructive if we want progress
@@MistaZULE ---str8 out of the communist/postmodern playbook. Instead, read Animal Farm or 1984, they are less confusing and relatable. Is that the world you wish? The narrative you speak of does not result in oppressor disappearance. Now if that is your intention, which is revenge and chaos, only the masochistic and deluded among us will comply. That is not a healthy cross section of comrades to build any society. I, for one, will not comply and I am not alone. What does your 'perfect' society look like, I am interested? Do you have an example of such? Okay, even something close?
@@brianjoyce9742 Animal Farm is a warning to totalitarian governments that a rise to power by using popular rhetoric and the overthrowal of the monarchy/bourgeousie will almost always end with a totalitarian government to replace the old one. At the end of the book it's revealed that the people are now under the same rulership that they originally fought against.
If you understood that as a criticism of communism (Stalinism to be more precise) then you missed the whole point of the novel. It warns against a Trump just as much as it warns against a Stalin. It's not the politics, but the application of those politics in the real world.
So my perfect world would be a limited market with heavy regulations, large investment in social welfare, free healthcare, free education and university education, the dissolution of nation states and the adopotion of more small scale forms of government. Keep the givernment local so it doesn't become a bloated mass that feeds off the population from it's fancy boardrooms and ivory towers. Emphasize the importance of hard work, but also allow for people to not work as hard as currently with limited daily working hours (3 day work week or half days as companies see fit). The economy should be seen as a means to an end and not the whole point of the operation of the country.
In my ideal world everybody partakes in the economy if they choose to or not, but all citizens have UBI so they are not forced into wage slavery. It will be funded by a tiered taxation plan that heavily taxes the ultra wealthy and does not tax those who make less then the threshold (under 20,000 euros a year). This society would provide security and happiness for all residents as well as checks and balances on the powerful so they can't unethically repeal freedoms.
Essentially an accelerated Socialist Democracy like those seen in Northern Europe.
Oh and all education systems will deal heavily in critical thinking and social history so that everyone who graduates has a firm understanding of logic. THis will allow the citizens to have the defenses to dismiss Fake News and not be scared into hysterics media outlets like Fox News and Breitbart want.
I basically copied America, but took everything they do wrong and created a system that works for me and I assume many others. If you took the time to read all of this kudos. I don't expect anybody to actually do it.
This changed my world view a little. Thank you
Great interview. Thought provoking. Goal oriented to positive change.
You have to be careful not to become what you despise...
It's the problem of oppression, as soon as the oppression ends it turns out the oppressed took over more from their oppressors than they realize.
I agree with everything, except the "I would not go as far as to say that they are the new racists, because there is still racists on the other side". Racism is not bound by your political association (left or right), or your race. It doesn't matter if there are more racists on one side of the political spectrum compared to the other. Nor does it matter to which race you belong when making racist remarks. Everyone should get equal treatment. A racist is a racist.
Great discussion
Great interview. Coleman is an amazing thinker.
We need voices like Coleman Hughes now more than ever
Most of these comments totally miss the point. He’s NOT saying that the left is more racist than the right, just that there has been a growth of racism on the left and that this kind of racism is socially acceptable. While that is pretty messed up, it’s not free sailing for black people and Coleman is not saying that at all..in any way.
All the posts about how horrible the left is does nothing to dispel the truth that the right is even more horrible. I say this as an independent who can see both sides but I refuse to engage in false equivalencies. For example, Redlining is more socially destructive than racist and false claims of privilege.
Finally someone that understands
Great video
Right or left it just the lesser of 2 evils. Moral of the story do not look to politicians to be your savior.
This clip seems borderline prophetic looking back in retrospect after all of these riots
What a discussion! I’m now a fan of this guy.
I'm never really impressed by the thoughts of Dave Rubin, and yet he has some of the best interviews, like this one. His interview with Andrew Yang was fantastic!
Sadly this video is still relevant more than ever.
Amazing assumptions. The interviewee consistently returns to his methodological approach of sampling history and then moving on. Appears to me at one level like the religious commitment to an approach. So much for being fundamentally different. While there are a large number of ways of combining the data from history there are very few for making sense of the data. Ask the interviewee to volunteer to subject himself and off spring to multiple generational abuse and then provide an update on his worldview. Nothing like a suit, civil settings and a feeling of immunity from the past.
Which is basically a racist view. You are saying he can’t have these views because he’s black and the only reason he has these views is because white people gave him a nice suit and a chair.
Dr. Lolchicken, Coleman can have his view for any number of reasons. It may well be indoctrination. I don't know. The Germane point I trying to make is what would be a reasonable response of a group that has systematically and disproportionately been abused over several generations.
@@chrisbarrett4637 after it happened to the Brits, they wrote a poem which they then turned into a song twenty years later. Then they started talking about ending slavery wherever they found it. Therefore the answer to your last comment is; something uplifting and positive that helps others.
@@chrisbarrett4637 but just a side note. You are not willing to let Hughes have his own opinions. You said it may well be indoctrination. This implies he is incapable of thinking for himself. Why?... Why is he incapable?
It's your style of racism that he is talking about in the video. Do you see?
Most excellent! This is what will save us. Open communication & respect through listening on both sides.
Coleman Hughes- outstanding presentation!
If I never heard the word RACISM again, it would be too soon! 💯I think we’re all over it but fact is it always has and always will exist. Might be Jews for a couple centuries, Native Americans for some decades and blacks for ages 🤷🏽♀️. It is what it aint‼️ But don’t be mad at the group on the bottom who’s complaining about inequality. Just be glad it’s not your turn! 🙏🏾
This man is the spiritual successor of Thomas Sowell
There are plenty of other black voices with similar beliefs. Unfortunately, they don't get much play in the media at all.
Maybe, that'd be quite a feat.
This is a fantastic interview. What a smart classy guy!
Thank you for this sane conversation.
At last! Another YOUNG person who has the potential to take up Thomas Sowell's mantel!
This man is more of an American than all of those Democrats put together.
Extremely well Spoken !! Wonderful to hear Intelligent conversation with a Very Well informed guy ! Thank You !!
Thank you that was outstanding
Felt great to hear some sanity in these times of shear stupidity and lies. Thank you.
He only just graduated from college (2020). It should be noted that college didn’t give him reason and understanding.
He's born with insight nothing no university degree can give you.
@@timotheusn.h.nakashona1001 I'd say most of it is an astonishingly high IQ, likely focused in verbal skills. The clarity in how this guy talks is the verbal equivalent of those "satisfying images" galleries you sometimes see.
Always always always impressed by Coleman Hughes. He has a bright future.
I'm sure once he says all I can say about racism in America and the problem of the politics then he can show his brilliance in all other topics
Loved this and the insight it gives.
This Video is going to trigger Ana Kasparian.
shes fucking better than him
dash4800 whaaaaaaaaaat
Who gives a fuck, she is irrelevant
Oh Nose!!
@@bruhmoment8108 Sadly, she is highly relevant to a vast swath of YoungTurk listeners. Never let your guard down!
The point he makes about the Left viewing racism as something like small pox seems to echos a point Peterson makes about Hitler being a germaphobe...
He is correct this man, not talking about Peterson and Hitler. The left traditionally when you follow the logic they use is that human nature is malleable and that you can erase the bad shit about human nature. So yes in the extremist ideologically driven people they definitly see human nature as something that can be solved. In the case of racisme is an end to racisme. Sadly human nature has been earily unchanged for many centuries. Our values can certainly change but we are still animals and we have a preditorial and instinctual part in the brain that when in absolute danger we try to stick to things that are familiar and appear safer. Sadly sometimes for some people that includes skin colour.
Clear, concise, and so rare and never in national media because there is no critical thinking in national media. We need to hear when, how, where and what are the systemic racisms acts, microaggressions and all the other tropes that are so tired.
I respect this young man so much...
Colman is a brilliant guy! I enjoyed this interview
I'm left wing, and I agree with Coleman on this subject. And so does the dictionary by the way? Alas, the title of this video is clickbait. Lefties are perfectly capable of understanding the importance of neutral definitions of terms like racism. Actually, if terms are not defined neutrally, but biased, you'll pave the way for things like racism in my understanding of things. Of course there're lefties who don't understand this, but I can assure you, that's also the case on the right side of the political spectrum.
Being left wing...have a listen. See if it sparks any new realizations....

Great points made
What a great dialogue
When we divide the population, by skin this shows lack of Education. Simple words are true. "Divide and conquer" . Knowing that DNA ,is yes different, knowing this doesn't change external skin colour. What changes is Humans excepting we are Human, not a coloured pencil.
Brilliant
Coleman Hughes, I've become a follower. Thank you.
great "smallpox" analogy. Been thinking of a way of saying that for years
I always enjoy listening to Black Sam Harris.
