Video at link. I thought Freepers might enjoy listening to this man's journey to being red-pilled.

[CFW]

The video is only ten minutes long.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. That young man is a treasure for all of us.

[oust the louse]

He seems like a very intelligent, open minded young man which is why he made the switch over. The rest on the BLM movement are not even close to carrying this kids jock strap. They are hateful, resentful and despicable. BUT...maybe he can make a difference for others. One can only hope!!!!!

Too bad they don’t use these in K-12 public schools.

[aquila48]

A great courageous guy who has seen the truth.

[Twotone]

Absolutely excellent. I love Dennis Prager & always listen to his ‘fireside chat’ videos. No wonder the left is doing everything they can to take him out & block PragerU.

BLM.....Billionaires Little Mercenaries, was created specifically to radicalize the iPhone, Facebook, TikTok generation..... Who weren’t alive when Blacks and Whites were making an effort to get along with each other and break down racial barriers, back when racism was still prevalent.

The original civil rights movement was like the original Star Wars movie. And BLM is like the 30th awful Star Wars sequel... complete with heavily promoted merchandising.

And the truth shall set you free.

Great video. Just great.

It is great because he had to make that journey himself.

One of the most impressive accounts of someone who made a similar journey to the one this man has taken, is that of Thomas Sowell.

As a young man, he was an angry, young black man who identified as a Marxist.

He took an economics course with a Harvard professor, who talked to him after a class, and began asking him questions.

He started off by observing that Sowell, in what he was saying in class, sounded like he was a Marxist.

Sowell admitted he was, and the professor began asking him questions like "Okay. You believe society should take this action? If that happens, what would happen next?" Here is Sowell's narrative of that conversation:

"When I was an undergraduate studying economics under Professor Arthur Smithies of Harvard, he asked me in class one day what policy I favored on a particular issue of the times. Since I had strong feelings on that issue, I proceeded to answer him with enthusiasm, explaining what beneficial consequences I expected from the policy I advocated.

“And then what will happen?” he asked.

The question caught me off guard. However, as I thought about it, it became clear that the situation I described would lead to other economic consequences, which I then began to consider and to spell out.

“And what will happen after that?” Professor Smithies asked.

As I analyzed how the further economic reactions to the policy would unfold, I began to realize that these reactions would lead to consequences much less desirable than those at the first stage, and I began to waver somewhat.

“And then what will happen?” Smithies persisted.

By now I was beginning to see that the economic reverberations of the policy I advocated were likely to be pretty disastrous — and, in fact, much worse than the initial situation that it was designed to improve."

Using that Socratic Method, that professor walked Sowell into an intellectual corner of Sowell's own making.

He didn't preach to him about where his beliefs led. He didn't tell him what was in that corner. He simply let Sowell's own mind take him, of its own accord, into that intellectual corner.

Dr. Sowell even has a name for that process of actively asking "What happens next?": it is called "Stage Two Thinking". (Stage One Thinking is what puts people into those corners.)

Thomas Sowell didn't change from a Marxist into a Capitalist overnight. But he was too smart to not recognize the inescapable corner that something like Marxism led people into, and over a period of time, came to recognize capitalism as a far more potent force for good than Marxism could ever dream of being.

This young man in the video went through that same kind of transition. He didn't just go unthinkingly into that intellectual corner. As time passed, he began to ask himself the kinds of questions the Left doesn't want black people to ask, and most certainly, not young black men.

I applaud and admire this man.

It is one thing for me as a white male to understand and accept that the narrative pushed by BLM, that, as Colin Flaherty accurately summarized, "Black people are relentless victims of relentless white violence, often at the end of a badge -- for No Reason What So Ever." is complete hogwash.

This man in the Prager video was able to take a clear view, and understood the actual percentage of black men shot by the police for no reason at all is vanishingly small, and that there were a lot of lies built off of that single lie.

That is no mean feat. As Upton Sinclair famously said: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

This man's whole identity as a black man, pushed on him by relentless leftists and racists who claim to be concerned with his welfare, his "salary" so to speak, his membership in that "club", depended on him not understanding that.

He understood it, and rejected the false premise, even when his whole "identity" and social framework depended on him not rejecting it. Most people, regardless of their color, cannot do that.

It’s what happens

[systemjim]

he “accidentally red-pilled” himself and transformed from a lost, angry young man into a calm and confident voice for the conservative movement.

If I may say, "Trust, but verify".

Lovely! God bless him in his journey.

And a shout-out to Candace Owens, who helped.

Great video!
