This was a very frustrating podcast. I don’t know if I would have been able to exercise the patience that Glenn and John exhibited toward Prof. Lloyd.
Prof. Lloyd’s defense of the assertions on the infantile manifesto issued to him by “Keisha” and co. brought to mind the old observation that “a liberal is someone who won’t take his own side in an argument.” Prof. Lloyd seems to have learned nothing from his experience. He wants education to be focused upon “domination” but is oblivious to how domination, and his inability to control it, led to the explosion of his Telluride seminar.
John, you say Prof. Lloyd is “not naïve”? A university professor who wants to address capital crimes through a few sessions with “Big Mama,” and by returning murderers to “those who love them”? If any of the people in those communities were that influential, it seems unlikely the perpetrators would have murdered anyone in the first place. And what consequences would Prof. Lloyd prescribe for non-black murderers of the same age and economic stratum who may also have suffered injustices?
I defer to the opinions of Glenn and John that Prof. Lloyd is intelligent and well-meaning, but considering the persistence of such insubstantial opinions despite such emblematic experiences, one must at some point conclude that this man is simply not using his intelligence.
