The Glenn Show

[BostonGuy]

Glenn Loury is a professor of economics at Brown University and does a podcast where he discusses issues of race in the U.S. His views on race are mostly inline with Doctor Martin King and commentary is so on point - he's honest, passionate, super intelligent and eloquent in how he speaks. He talks about these important issues honestly, ethically and morally.

Anyway, I'm going to start posting clips, articles, podcasts and other videos of him in this thread to share with the forum. Hope everyone can check him out.

John McWhorter and I at The Glenn Show getting down to cases re. reporting on urban violence:

This is exactly what I have been saying on this forum for some time now. It’s an unpopular opinion, and truth tellers like Loury and Sowell are dismissed as sellouts and Uncle Toms.

Glenn is so on point with his critical commentary. He speaks the truth (as you said) and is able to support all his arguments with logic, reason and facts. He’s not afraid to speak about taboo and uncomfortable subjects.

In the clip I posted he’s talking about the tragic increase in violence in predominantly black communities. This is an epidemic and monumental problem that we as society should be trying to fix. But no, we have Joe ***** tweeting about the ‘epidemic’ violence against trans people. Our leaders are f.#cking cowards.

Here's an edited text just published in City Journal of lecture I gave to the Economics Department at MIT in October on how we should be thinking about racial inequality in the US:

Any time inner city violence is mentioned we are told not to talk about it. We are told those are isolated killings, they were all part of that life...despite all of the innocent victims, to include small children, who are caught in the crossfire.

It’s a lot easier to blame a boogeyman like the NRA, white supremacy, police, or song lyrics, rather than find the common denominators in all of these cities. The ******* ******** leadership that fosters this vicious cycle of crime by taking a soft approach to violence and drugs, lenient sentences, eliminating bail, tying the hands of police, and neglecting the communities as a whole. They preach to the choir and blame the boogeymen; convince them that their vote will protect them from the evil **********s who will throw their sons in prison, drive up rents and cost of living while catering to the rich.

These race-hustlers who become mayors, members of Congress, city councilmen, etc., are the real root of urban decay and poverty.

Look at the people in this thread praising this guy. That's all you need to know you don't even have to listen.

That's all you need to know you don't even have to listen.

That's the same thought that I have when I see that you've posted something.....Rockin'

I was deemed a racist for commenting on the violence in the inner city. So be it, just tell me where what I said was off......Rockin'
