What does Sup Forums think of Sowell's thesis from 'Black Rednecks and White Liberals'.
Sowell argues that the black ghetto culture, which is claimed to be "authentic black culture", is actually a highly dysfunctional white southern redneck culture which existed during the antebellum South. This culture came, in turn, from the "Cracker culture" of the North Britons and Scots-Irish who migrated from the generally lawless border regions of Britain.
This guy's still alive? I used to watch his sitcom all the time.
Luke Sanders
You mean the "redneck white" culture that built America? Nah.
Niggers are violent and dumb everywhere. And they didn't mix with whites in the South due to Jim Crow, so how did they supposedly assimilate into "redneck white" culture? This is just another ruse to blame whitey.
Angel Campbell
Basically correct. Scots-Irish are basically nigger-tier, blacks just make it worse with their other pathologies.
Cooper Peterson
read, nigger its blacks that assimilated to the lowest derivative of immigrant Scots and Irish. Whereas these white trash fuckers evolved, Blacks even today, cling tightly to "their culture" of ignorance
Angel Martin
It's hard to doubt much of what Sowell says because the cunt is so thorough in his research both economic and social.
He's always had access to the data to show things like the trajectory of blacks pre & post welfare state.
Doesn't mean his conclusions are always correct but most of the time its just impossible to dispute the information he gathers and the very obvious conclusions from them.
Nicholas Cook
Why the fuck are the blacks still in black and white?
Josiah Richardson
Besides their utter disregard for their fellow man, right?
"Black culture" is akin to letting someone have an object, let's say a fork for example, and don't explain to them what it's for. Instead of trying to figure out what it's supposed to be used for, that fork has become all sorts of things: a hair ornament, a weapon, a sacred object, a tiny shovel or whatever else they could come up with, but not an eating utensil.
That's black culture.
Jordan Martin
That's basically accurate, but modern American black ghettos have long since transcended their cultural lineage. It's fucking somalia out there in some of them. No white redneck areas are even comparable to that shit
Henry Mitchell
>they didn't mix with whites in the South due to Jim Crow, No it is because they are niggers, laws or not they will always be fucking niggers
Dominic Davis

Zachary Lee
They had to learn their bad habits from somebody.
Nicholas Wilson
Sowell is one of the few people I would trust as a leader. And I live in Memphis and hate niggers.
Xavier Wilson
Have you been to Africa m8? They don't share a culture with American blacks but they do share violent behavior and stupidity.
Samuel Turner
>"Black culture"
Criminologists spend decades profiling what leads people towards a life of crime. Takes into account multitudes of offender data. Distills all criminal behavior linked towards a pathology of processing the world around them.
> VICTIMSTANCE - always views self as victim, blames others > POWER THRUST - compulsively needs to be in control of every situation, uses maniuplation and deceit. Refuses to be dependent unless he can take advantage of the situation > LACK OF EFFORT - unwilling to do anything they find boring or disagreeable > LACK OF OWNERSHIP - no concept of ownership/rights of others. Perceives all things as something to possess. Views sex as just power / control (muh dick) > DISTORTED SELF IMAGE - focuses only on their positive attributes / refuses to acknowledge own destructive behavior. Builds themselves up at the expense of others > UNIQUENESS - Views themselves as different and better than others. Expects of others that which he fails to meet. Quits at the first sign of failure. > IRRATIONAL FEAR - profound fear of put down. When held accountable for experiences feels worthless. Fear based solely on emotions. > CLOSED MINDEDNESS - not receptive / will not be self-critical / will not participate in any disclosure > CPT - does not use past as learning tool. Expects others to act immediately on their demands. Decisions based on assumptions, not fact. > ZERO SHAME - Responsible living is seen as boring and unsatisfying. Has no sense of obligation to others. Will respond only if it nets an immediate payoff
Gee, do these overwhelmingly represent a certain "cultyah" among us?
The sooner you understand this, the sooner you won't be surprised at what niggers do on a daily basis. Don't be fooled that they are thinking like you, trying to co-exist in a functioning society
Luke Sanders
Interestingly, the US is spreading the Hip-Hop culture around the world and today you have people like that in every country. Just Google "Japanese Hip-Hop", "Russian Hip-Hop", etc.
Dominic Anderson
>They had to learn their bad habits from somebody.
> niggers > learn pick one, user
You actually think we're all just sitting here on a Mongolian Steppe Farming Image board because we're frustrated with life and looking for a fall guy? Shit....you clearly have NEVER been around black people
John Morgan
This is exactly what I meant. They have the word "culture" and it doesn't mean what it should, I even included an entire metaphor of a fork.
Mason Diaz
unless he wants to get into genetics and actual science i dont give a fuck
I left Canada to explore the world in 04. Being Canadian I had no real experience with niggers. Moved to a black area of London, UK. Holy fuck, learnt quick what niggers are actually like. Fuckem.
Matthew Martinez
>They no other culture defends piece-of-shit behavior like niggers.
Lucas Smith
>Its about the whites Sowell is talking about yes, the poor white trash immigrants. And yet, after a generation or two, those Irish, Italian, Polish, Vietnamese, et al assimilated into the society and economy and EVOLVED into human beings. Whereas niggers just wallow in ignorance like a bucket full of crabs
If you've ever heard/read Sowell, Elders, Clarke, etc talk, this is exactly their entire thrust
Robert Taylor
What kind of pathetic and sheltered and privileged life did you lead? I have so much experience dealing with blacks, especially the criminal element while growing up, that I never found myself out of place around them unless they don't speak English. Even then all you have to do is stand up straight, puff your chest out and look them all dead in the eye and you'll be fine.
John Sanders
thank god we have DeGrassi Junior High grads weighing in on how to understand the black man
Austin Peterson
Never invented a color camera.
Easton Morales
So you're telling me that we can blame the degeneracy of nigs on the eternal anglo?
Henry Lewis
Do you think Denzle is copying his look?
Mason Mitchell
I never defended them or what they did, I just more or less found a way to not be on the receiving end of their bullshit.
Faggot ass shut in.
Aiden Nelson
respectable guy and speaks for what's right but I feel like he's part ashkenazi due to his really high IQ. Other than he's written some pretty good books. If more blacks "were" like him and not fucking niggers, we probably wouldn't be on Sup Forums rn but too bad the world doesn't work that way.
Christian Reyes
I'd like to see Denzel play him in a biopic. Would be cool to see him legs crossed spinning around in a chair dismantling a feminist played by Meryl Strep.
Ryan Mitchell
if you have african dna in you ur iq is on average 45 points lower than someone with european dna in his blood, this is the only scientific reason as to why niggers act like they do
Aaron Watson
>if you have african dna
Aaron Long
Holly shit! I've said the same damn thing. That ghetto culture is just africanized rednecks.
John Reed
>all you have to do is stand up straight, puff your chest out and look them all dead in the eye and you'll be fine. Till the other niggers sucker punch (brick,stab) you from behind . I guess you never dealt with NY niggers .
Gabriel Barnes
africanized honeybees, africanized rednecks... is africanizing the genetic equivalent of hot sauce?
Adam Rivera
I know all that - I linked a look at the scotch-irish "boxing" style from the late eighteenth century to the antebellum era to illustrate how barbaric the people that blacks got their culture from were .
Grayson Long
>guess you never dealt with niggers
Blake Gray
EVERY user on Sup Forums should read this. Thomas Sowell's books should be required reading in public education. Thomas Sowell is beyond based nigger. This man is Morpheus from the Matrix.
Niggers use the same slang as white rednecks from the South did.
They basically just adopted Southern poor white culture, including the food and everything. However, there are hardly any authentic southern white rednecks left while the niggers have spread to every part of the country, so we now attribute this slang and culture to niggers.
>Ty Barnett That is one dumb nigger, holy shit. To think most of them think like this. There is no arguing with them. Being a African American is essentially a cult mentality.
Josiah Walker
I bet if that white guy shot him, his family would act like he was the victim. “God Created Men and Sam Colt Made Them Equal!”
Jaxon Allen
ive been saying this for years on here. Liberals basically worship redneck culture through blacks while discriminating against authentic White rural people.
Niggers are the same everywhere. We imported our niggers in the 1960s and 70s, so they have no excuse of slavery or segregation. It took them only 2 generations to form ghetto shitholes full of crime.
Xavier Gonzalez
>imported our niggers in the 1960s and 70s Even BongNiggers demand reparations for slavery... heh
Jayden Murphy
One cold man Sowell is, he doesn't play in that book. He breaks it down saying that blacks are viewed as mascots for liberals to view in jest. He also states that the reason blacks have the mentality of killing someone over a pair of sneakers and shit like that is because of the southern gentlemen taking the gloves off the hands and slapping someone tradition. He even cited that there was a period in time that if someone where to disrespect another man that they would not bring them before court in any challenge of combat that resulted in death.
He has another good book that explains why blacks have no excuse, I believe it race and culture and he slams blacks in much greater detail. He cites the same "middleman" and how Asians and Jews dominate because they know how to utilize the communities they have been placed in. In his black rednecks white liberals book and goes into future detail breaking down how one culture that is dominated will pick up the other values of that culture. So if the antebellum south was filled with white niggers like scots they too would bleed off cultural values into the black race.
This guy is fucking on the ball.
Easton Smith
One thing that I do not agree with him on is his idea that IQ is something that is done through the surrounding culture vs the race of the individual. He believes that blacks suffer that lower IQ due to being around scots and lower europeans during the days of slavery. Yet according to Richard Lynn and the works of the Bell Curve that even twins of the same genetic make up and race had the same IQ despite being adopted by two different couples in two different poverty areas.
Jace Wood
They also embraced black American culture thanks to hip-hop. Just so you understand, hip-hop was always a black nationalist/separatist movement. "We gotta fight da powa" and all that shit.
It also doesn't get mentioned enough that in antebellum America slaves saw themselves as above the poor, white trash immigrants (particularly Irish) who were treated like absolute shit. At least a slave was worth something, and the better ones were rather expensive, equivalent to the price of a nice car today. Black slaves looked down on these poor whites. By associating with poor whites for hundreds of years, black people gradually lost their native culture and adopted that of the poor whites around them. I'm not saying that native African culture is something to be proud of (they haven't invented or created shit), but this is just the truth. Another issue is they've been taught lies about their history since the 1960s - how oppressed they were and so on - when in reality whites gave them everything. Literature, medicine, writing, infrastructure, education, etc. The descendants of African slaves in America are the wealthiest group of blacks in the world; they could not have done this on their own.
Sebastian Jackson
He should stick to economics Ghetto culture is a kike invention Idk if sowell was wise to the jq. I know x was that's why he was killed
Jack Wright
He's right, except to say it's a bastardised version whereby the niggers have added some charming features (drive bys, crack cocaine, etc). Trust niggers to take something shit and make it shitter
Jaxon Miller
He's right, you know.
Jack Edwards
This is why niggers are imported around the world. To destabilise working class communities, lower public safety and create a climate of fear and confusion. It's textbook genocide play.
Eli Rivera
I love how he pointed out in the 1960s as when the decline of the black family occurred and that despite of the civil rights horseshit that black families were actually more coupled. Less single mothers and less divorced men and women. Then the fucking leftists and good ole nigger hater LBJ came in and put the shackles on them with his welfare initiatives. Brilliant move by the fucker, then a record number of divorces occurred and single motherhood rate increased dramatically.
Gavin Gomez
>He believes that blacks suffer that lower IQ due to being around scots and lower europeans during the days of slavery.
Isn't the IQ of black Americans higher than that of Africans?
Juan Murphy
Bump because something intelligent finally made it to Pol . Too many shlls nowadays not enough real conservative thought
Zachary Davis
I've noticed that even ebonics is just a slightly distorted version of southern accent
Austin Long
whats hilarious is that the "black empowerment" in mainstream media runs in such predictable cycles. Its plainly evident to anyone actually paying attention and has gone on since the 60s.
> "its okay to be black" - black pride > black is beautiful (black supremacy) > goddamnit we black, nikkuh (black militancy) usually experiences a BTFO moment (Watts/Detroit riots, Tawana Brawley, TuPac death, BLM scam) > U-N-I-T-Y - we gots to work together
just rinse and repeat and suckers eat it up like this is revolutionary new ideas
Blake Adams
Yeah, that Japanese youtube guy that gets posted here every now and then said that niggers demand reparations even in fucking JAPAN kek
Angel Nelson
Thats right but the difference is 5 points on average.
"Wicherts, Dolan, and van der Maas (2009) contend that the average IQ of sub-Saharan Africans is about 80." and according the his book on Intelligence and IQ from Richard Lynn.
In America it is shown to be 85IQ so a difference of 5 points overall. A 1st world country vs 3rd world countries of Africa.
Jayden Jackson
He's probably right on the money, as usual.
Sowell is sage, on the same level as Pat Buchanan.
Both should be required reading for Sup Forumsallacks.
Austin Mitchell
>Scots-Irish are basically nigger-tier,
Let's play spot the kike
Anthony Walker
But there's no doubt that White rednecks are in a state of economic, social, and moral decline. Spend time in a White trash neighborhood and the nigger-tier behavior will quickly stand out.
Jaxon Carter
That is due Tom the white rednecks evolving culturally. The closest you might find is some mountain men and in general they’d rather just be left alone anyhow.
