First time I ever heard of John McWhorter was in a 2017 interview. In talking about take a wild guess, he said: "He has a rather narcotic joy in dismissal and belittlement." The likes of Loury & McWhorter miserably fail to see how they are unwittingly conditioning people to act exactly like that.
I’m sure it’s intoxicating to amass a following and feel like you’re making a difference. But I’m gonna weigh your impact partly as a reflection of your community: How people behave — not what they believe. If you can’t get that right, I don’t care how big your following gets — you’re taking this nation nowhere.
What’s more, you’re making matters worse and being rewarded for it (while unknowingly producing a toxicity of venom I hope they’d find sickening if they realized what they were doing).
