Market doomsayer Marc "Dr. Doom" Faber has launched a racially charged diatribe in his latest newsletter, alleging that the U.S. is great primarily because it is ruled by white people.
The eccentric Gloom, Boom & Doom report author, who often speaks on CNBC and other financial media, generally forecasting some type of market downturn, focused his latest comments on the racial conflicts happening around the country.
(A CNBC spokesperson said it will not book him in the future.)
"And thank God white people populated America, and not the blacks. Otherwise, the US would look like Zimbabwe, which it might look like one day anyway, but at least America enjoyed 200 years in the economic and political sun under a white majority," he wrote.
"I am not a racist, but the reality — no matter how politically incorrect — needs to be spelled out."
Reached for comment via email, Faber did not back away from his statements to CNBC.
"If stating some historical facts makes me a racist, then I suppose that I am a racist. For years, Japanese were condemned because they denied the Nanking massacre," he told CNBC in an email.

How long was the Sahara a desert? I am thinking it was flowing with water when the Sphinx was around. There is plenty of water erosion damage on it from the recent past.
Preach it Taxman, and may I say AMEN.
“Finally somebody with cojones to tell the historical truth!”
The French army of Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated by Haitian former slaves. It surrendered in November 1803 and agreed to a complete withdrawal.
Haiti lay in ruins, nearly half its population lost. The African slaves of Haiti had defeated the army of Napoleon Bonaparte. The 12-year war for liberation had destroyed most of the irrigation systems and machinery that, with slave labor, had created France’s richest colony and were the foundation of the island’s economy.
On January 1, 1804, independence was declared for the entire island in the aboriginal name preferred by the former slaves: Haiti. In September 1804, Dessalines was proclaimed Emperor Jacques I.
Nearly all whites who survived the long violence fled the island before, or with, the departing French army.
AND ? 200 years later,having killed or thrown out WHITEY Haiti is an example of ??? Of What ??
the same people who deny there are any racial group differences, are also the ones who want to ban specific breeds of dog.
Six thousand years ago, the Sahara was forest and grassland.
Politically correct or not, he’s not wrong.
It’s close enough for me!!
And they don’t know any different.
And now, a word from Ayn Rand on the subject:
Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism. It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man’s genetic lineage—the notion that a man’s intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors.
Racism claims that the content of a man’s mind (not his cognitive apparatus, but its content) is inherited; that a man’s convictions, values and character are determined before he is born, by physical factors beyond his control. This is the caveman’s version of the doctrine of innate ideas—or of inherited knowledge—which has been thoroughly refuted by philosophy and science. Racism is a doctrine of, by and for brutes. It is a barnyard or stock-farm version of collectivism, appropriate to a mentality that differentiates between various breeds of animals, but not between animals and men.
Like every form of determinism, racism invalidates the specific attribute which distinguishes man from all other living species: his rational faculty. Racism negates two aspects of man’s life: reason and choice, or mind and morality, replacing them with chemical predestination.
Weird way to say it all around. And what about the context. What would even bring up the subject?
And, he should have been more specific. White people also brought us the USSR and WWI and WWII.
Be thankful brave, pioneering liberty-loving people settled the US.
‘White boys don’t get the chance or the coaching after a certain level is reached.’
absolutely true, as I have said to many people...
“Sowell always makes sense, so if there is fault, it must be mine. The book is excellent, though.”
Bravo.
Naturalization means?
On the whole continent. That’s almost unbelievable. On the other hand Sowell is a remarkably intelligent individual.
The virtue signaling cadre will be along here soon enuff
Cucked boomers my ass
GenX and younger are more knee jerk pc on race than we ever were
I consider American civilization to be the pinnacle of western civilization. Our biggest problem is that mistaken Marxist ideas have come to permeate the west, including US colleges.
I have nothing against the black race. Their biggest problem in this country has always been the Democratic party: the slave party, the party of Jim Crow laws, the party of segregation, the party that resisted civil rights, the welfare party that broke up poor families, and now the party that operates the inner city government schools to prison pipeline.
Isn’t it fascinating to watch racial apologists at this late stage spouting platitudes which defy ever more clarifying realities
I mean if you don’t get race by now
You ain’t never
