[VIDEO] One question to ask when you watch this discussion between Chris Williamson and John McWhorter is whether or not Blacks are treated by "anti-racists" as simpletons. What do you think once you follow this discussion. Are these anti-racists coming in saying we know what's best for you better than you do?
This is a 50 min. discussion.
BTW, on this discussion I find that McWhorter and myself are on the same page about a lot of what has been going on lately. I believe the unrest after the death of George Floyd was more about the pandemic and the lockdowns. That if people want to upend the society largely created by Europeans say American society and culture essentially whiteness, what would we replace that with and would we like that world.
McWhorter even dismisses the anti-racist books by Robin DiAngelo and Ibram Kendi referring to those books as useless. And especially useless for Black people and refers to both authors' works as utterly terrible. Perhaps someone has read those books and have the same opinion.
Also remember that McWhorter is a linguist and also an academic who's know for discussion racial issues on the cable TV circuit.
