  As a black man who was a troubled youth, raised by my Grandmother, I have never been under the impression that I was inferior. I was taught that as long as I apply myself I could be whatever I wanted to be. Today, a Iraq Veteran, MPA degree holder, and a father of two boys, married, living in a well established mixed community-in GEORGIA of all places, I am 100% with Shelby’s point of view, he and Sowell-my heroes. There viewpoints are on par with my late Grandmother.

  I believe that the saying goes "it is easier to lie to people than to convince them that they have been lied to."

  Peter Robinson should be mainstream. I'm really impressed by the way he interviews people, it's so refreshing to see an honest interview.

  This is an outstanding interview with a brilliant man. Very germane to what is happening today. This interview and other interviews with Dr Steele need to get out.

  These interviews are intellectually pleasing, yet emotionally peaceful. I adore calm discussions in academic settings.

  Every time I watch a brilliant presentation such as this one, I'm reminded that the people who need to hear it most won't come near it.

  My daughter and I have a &quot;STRAINED&quot; relationship because I&apos;m of the thinking of Dr. Steel, Jason Riley, Sowell, and Williams. <br>She called me stupid and ignorant....imagine a child calling her father such names...
