Conversation? Do you mean his TEDx presentation? He gave a presentation that largely advocated similar color-blind approaches to solving societal problems and here is what happened in Coleman's own words: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--ZvrP618_Jo.html@@Bonnatella
If only race was a real thing😅 saying you are a race is like saying you belong to a family who has been inbreeding for thousands of years lol.. there are ethnicities and there are different blends of ethnicities but as far as race there is no such thing. It's a purely propaganda control arm of the Democratic party. There is no such thing as black, white, or any "colors".. It's pure propaganda of the uneducated that need a cop out or something to blame for their own failures in life. Everyone in the world is a blend of a multitude of ethnicities. Nobody belongs to a race. Nobody has belonged to a race since we were cavemen. Race is complete bullshit and doesn't even exist. Black Americans are really the only community that recognizes race. No other country or ethnicity or culture recognize the word "race". Outside of America it's called ethnicity and everyone outside of America understands everyone in the world is a blend of all kinds of things. If someone believes there is a race they are fundamentally stupid😅 I mean do you know what race is? If you are talking about race you likely have no idea what it is lol.. there's no way to be talking about race and not be a victim of it's propaganda
I have immense respect for Coleman. "Social media algorithmically boosted content is not educating us, it's miseducating us." And, that's not a flaw in the system. It's part of the design.
@@janelliot5643 over whose heads... that speaks volumes we are all dumb and the mofos supporting trump whose side he is on are the smart and intelligent ones... I see
If we ever get past this period of craziness, it will be in large part because of the public engagement of thoughtful people like Coleman. He does give me hope.
really, hating the powerless in society and making every excuse you can for the perceived powerful isn't very thoughtful.... it is opportunistic bordering on evil
Wow incredible how I missed that part of who Coleman Hughes is. Enlighten as to what he has said that could possibly be construed as "hating the powerless in society"@@asaasare220
So I somehow missed this evil....incredible. Please show me something that he said or wrote that reveals "hating the powerless in society" aspect of Coleman that I've missed?@@asaasare220
It's amazing to me that someone can distort what Coleman says to thinking he's "hating the powerless in society". I'd like to see something he wrote or said that would indicate that's what he's doing and thinks. I expect nothing...because somebody is clearly incapable of arguing their point, they can only make baseless personal insults.
I had a similar childhood as Coleman. We didn't see race as kids. We just cared if they were WCW or WWE fans. If they played Pokémon. If they liked the Power Rangers, etc. We all saw each other has human beings.
IKR? We're such geezers now, but kids these days don't realize that we grew up thinking Magic School Bus was the average class, and no one on that show was a stereotype but their own character... plus Recess, Fairly OddParents and later Danny Phantom, Hey Arnold... we had THE Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Clarissa explaining it all to all of us.
@@crazychicSHENA Race is a factor but it's not the end-all be-all, nor should it be your defining feature. It's a flavor, that's it. Not your texture, not your composition, not the meat and potatoes. It's a spice.
Coleman is the clearest, calmest, and most reasonable speakers on this topic. He articulates what I’ve felt intuitively but could barely describe. I will be definitely be buying his book and sharing it with everyone who will read it.
And that's all you need to manipulate people: to be the "clearest, calmest and most reasonable." If he was yelling the exact same words, you would think opposite of him. This shows it doesn't even matter what you say, its just how you say it and as long as you say it in a way people love, they'll eat it up, no matter how much they may be manipulating you. This is how politicians rise to power. They simply manipulate every one with charisma. Screw substance. They only thing one needs to advance in America is style.
I think you meant to say *one of* the clearest... I'd mention him alongside people like Thomas Sowell, Glenn Loury, Larry Elder, John McWhorter and Roland Fryer. And while I'm sure these fine gentlemen have their disagreements and differences of opinions, I believe that overall, their wise voices act as a powerful counterbalance to the onslaught of dividing and hate-encouraging messages coming from a lot of the academia and MSM these days.
But he’s wrong. The issue with Blacks in the USA is CULTURE! The degrading music that venerates gangsters and rappers, men who don’t know how to be fathers and teach their children, women who have sex with any random man and end up as single mothers. If blacks want to improve their situation, they need to improve their culture first. Blacks need to quit the drugs/gangs and look at the Asians, who actually WANT to thrive in this country
He has an Ax to grind, skewed MLK message and misses the actual Demographic change that is driving current culture. Many fact are well documented outside his omissions
A Mexican who grew up in Northern Vermont as kid in 6th grade never knew what racism was..lived a life of freedom and, opportunity. But the love I have for this country the believe that morality, decency respect the rule of law matters. Everyone should hold themselves accountable for each and every choice we make.
Right on bro. I went to a private school in Williston Vermont from 1969 till 1972 called Pine Ridge School. Some of the best years of my life was in Vermont. The people up their we're the friendliest people. I have so many cool stories from those years. The Hippie Communes Being taught by Students that we're going school at U.V.M. Very liberal State Vermont is, or was back then. Peace up you all. Living and loving my life now between Bali and Thailand. Will never come back to America now for how low in the toilet it has become from those years. 🌴✌🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️✌🌴
As a graduate of the, 'Mean Streets of Greenwich, Connecticut ', I'm happy to agree with your opinion. Individual accountability isn't as fashionable as it should be right now unfortunately.
@@guyledouche4918 Colorblindness is defined by ignoring or denying the existence of racial differences. MLK didn't advocate for colorblindness. MLK did advocate for the need to address and rectify the historical and systemic injustices that disproportionately affected black americans.

@@SchnellTimYou’re attempting to insert a motive behind other people’s words that just isn’t there. As someone who was an anti racist activist 30yrs ago - please go back to being a conservative like your parents, you’re doing a terrible job of being progressive.
He is the real deal. I see him in the same light as Thomas Sowell. He wants evidence for other's arguments and always provides evidence for his. I've watched a lot of content with him.. he just is SO intellectually honest.
@@AetheriusComics are we including MAGA and Trump acolytes because this is the company folk like you worry about making comfortable after all black people are powerless in your book and can be dehumanized ... your side has no soul and those like coleman who pretend the real life that the rest of us live in are unwittingly tools of the devil whether they know it or not
@@angrytater2456 Its a 5 minute clip laying out a basic argument with a few data points. Did you expect him to go over the history of race relations beginning from 1690, pointing out every instance of injustice?
@@randomnobody8770 I think he should acknowledge that after Obama became President a faction of voters that are racist was courted by people like Donald Trump. "There are good people on both sides" "I don't know if he was born in the United States". Obama gave birth to MAGA. Trump and MAGA patted racists on the back and said, "It's ok to be racist".
@@angrytater2456 I think he would acknowledge that in a heartbeat, if he hasn't already. He makes points similar to that ad nauseum. He gets published in a lot of places, just published a book, has a longstanding podcast, and has done dozens of lengthy interviews. What you said is precisely in line with what he says all the time. This was a 5 min clip on a different topic.
Coleman is the only podcaster I pay to suscribe to. What he's saying is so important and he says it so well, I want to support him as much as possible. I'm also going to buy his book.
....Which I said the minute social media became a thing. We went overnight from the Information Age to the Propaganda Age -- and all for political aggrandizement.
Wonderful to see Coleman on. He gives me hope. John McWhorter & Glenn Loury love him. Intelligent, reasoned, articulate & compassionate. He will go far.
WOW, I hope this man will run for an office one day or get appointed to an office that can make an impact. I was somewhat shocked how a young man like Mr. Hughes could make so much sense with so much clarity. I will be following this amazing man and yes, I will be buying his book.

@@DrBoofenstein - Sowell. Another joker backed by suspected WS and paid well to do it. At least Sowell is an American unlike that immigrant Diaz Hughes.
My ninth video of this young man and I’m obsessed with his thinking. He states he hates politics but I think he needs to be central into it for us clear, self thinking Americans. Coleman gives me so much hope for the future
Bravo to Coleman for having the fact based arguments and courage to push back against the current tribal zeitgeist. Let’s hope a critical majority of citizens can expand this conversation.
Montclair NJ, my birth place, is an exceptionally liberal, diverse, and progressive city, even in NJ. Go next door to East Orange, Newark, Belleville, or Bloomfield and schools and the surrounding communities are not nearly so forward-thinking.
@@guyledouche4918 No. Colorblindness is defined by ignoring or denying the existence of racial differences - ignoring the problems and disagreements doesn't make them simply go away. MLK didn't advocate for colorblindness. He did advocate for the need to address and rectify the historical and systemic injustices that disproportionately affected black Americans. CRT says that many black Americans have been disadvantaged over generations. It doesn't say that all white people are evil nor that all black people are good/morally superior.
@@SchnellTim the problems you claim to exist merely don't. You're chasing a Boogeyman of evil wight waycissm that doesn't exist. He did advocate for colorblindness. It was his entire shtick. Also, I don't deify him the way you do. Idk what mlk said or didn't say. He's not Jesus and he's not Steven Hawking. He was a communist adulterer. His opinion isn't gold just because you say it is. That's not true. CRT does in fact say that all white people are evil. Is racism evil?
@@SchnellTim Unfortunately, I haven't read his book yet to be able to make any assessment on that. Have you? Did you find it an interesting perspective? 🙂
Incorrect. The issue with Blacks in the USA is CULTURE!

He's ignorant of the fact that CRT actually doesn't "equate whiteness with evil and blackness with moral superiority". CRT does no such thing. It doesn't say that all white people are evil and all black people are good. It says that racial dynamics in the US have disadvantaged many black Americans over generations. He hasn't actually done that much research about CRT...or he just chooses to misrepresent it with his audience.
I was very pleased to be able to finally hear someone speak the facts , the actual truths regarding the subject of racism and the real state of its ( non) exsistence. The propagating of misinformation about racism has created more racial divisiveness at times than actually exsists. I for one, have felt that way for quite some time. See the face, hear the voice, listen and learn, and the color of the skin becomes irrelevant. Young, old, shy, or bold, we all can benefit from listening to this gentleman . Great show, Bill, and wonderful panel!
So racism doesn't exist? Huh? When did it go away exactly?--maybe a time and date would help. Or was it that it never existed? Or maybe all of those studies that show race based bias--e.g., the study that randomly assigned two variations of the same resume-the only difference being the name of the applicant (one sounding more "white" the other sounding more "black), all else exactly the same, then sent in random order to companies with the result being that the resume with the "white" name got called back several times more often. If there is not racism then do you think it is not an advantage to be born white (all other things equal), an disadvantage? If you are white do you think your life would have been the same if you had been born black? (Non) existence? Do you have any recollection at all about how Obama was treated---the "not a citizen, not born here" that was gobbled up voraciously by millions of (white) people? WTF planet are you on. Even this guy is not claiming there is no racism.
@@gregcable3250 The funny thing about the resume example is that bias only appeared when they used black first names. When they tried the same experiment with black surnames, the results didn’t replicate.
@@Justwonguy Yes, exactly. Well many black American surnames are former slave owner names and often then Scot-English. So the identifying component was the first name which signaled to the companies that the applicant was African-American. But there is no racial bias in the US, so relax. 🙂
@4HonestyandJustice4All well I've seen the light.... all the right wing backlash from the black national anthem at the super bowl certainly has me convinced that racism doesn't exist 👍
People need to stop falsely attributing quotes to random famous people. Here's a test to know if the quote is misattributed. If the person is dead and you read it on the internet, that person didn't say it. For unknow reasons, this quote started getting attributed to Mark Twain in 2007. There is no known evidence he ever said it, and variations of the quote predate Twain by centuries.
Even an international one - I've been following him for years, and I'm Austrian but very interested in race relations in particular and US politics in general. I see a bright future for Mr Hughes.
@@SchnellTim Why would you stomp on my joy? 🤨 He's trying to break the divisiveness in our country, in which he doesn't define but he points out, CRT is the problem. He's trying to remind us of a better time, when "colorblindness" was the goal. For that, I have mad respect for him.🏅
@@luckystarship2275 CRT says that many black Americans have been disadvantaged over generations. It doesn't say that all white people are evil and all black people are good.
Every person in America should see this. He is 100% accurate. Social media is the root of all these “issues” society is facing right now. It’s time to turn off the phones and reconnect with the real world.
@@misterman2830not to op's point, but social media targets us with algorithms that intentionally divide because it gains attention. So....if you specify for different audiences then you bring attention to places that might just not have mattered otherwise, to people or groups. Over and over on social media can give the sense it is a thing even if not if one sorta stays there on social media to gain the insight. In short, look around you outside in the real community to see if it is a problem first. Like right in your yard my dude. Really a prob? Check social media again and yep, see one and two and three probs. Check your yard again. Another in short, it could be all in your head. Planted by social media and politics and...this kinda show to move you where you are wanted.

Countries work on symbols. This one means, "Give me your tired, your poor..." 🗽What this country needs is a unifying symbol, so that long after we are all gone, Americans in the future will remember: We once had a great man, who taught us to judge by the content of character, not the color of skin. Put that man's likeness next to Lincoln, on Mount Rushmore.
2013 is incidently also the time Millenials (defined for ease as 1980-1995) begin to become the dominant factor in the Social Media. That start defining people by their biology as a trait of character (Ashamed to be white/Proud to be black). You can find similar structures in how Millenials let themselves be defined by their sexuality (Which is a part of their biology). It will be interesting to see what Gen Z and Gen A brings to the table.
@@misterman2830 Actually slavery began 10s of thousands of years before social media, so you'll need to be more precise please. Or did you mean the slavery that still goes on today across Africa and the Middle East? That would make more sense. Umm, I'm not sure which site today's slave traders use. This is a great question though.
@@justinatest9456 It's hilarious how difficult it is to get white Americans to talk about the slavery practiced here. Why is that? Is it identical to every form of slavery or are you just desperate to avoid the atrocities you love to whitewash?
Mr. Hughes is not wrong about social media but if Americans want to understand the roots of today's problems, they should read two publications: Where Do We Go From Here by Dr. King and the Kerner Commission Report.
Totally incorrect! I listen to reputable journalists like Joy Reid, Chris Hayes, Lawrence O’Donnell, Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar, that dude R Maddow, and most of the cast of CNN and know that everything is the fault of the “Maga Republicans” and that ex-marine Daniel Penny.
I'm not saying it's right but it's a backlash against the slow progress and even some reversal in race relations. An example is the growth of white nationalists, neo nazis, etc. in the last few years.
