Let me start by saying, despite a wonderful education at a historically-white, "Ivory" League--as opposed to Ivy League--institution, I had somehow missed out on the monumentally thought-provoking musings of you two badass motherfuckers, until very recently. I like to consider myself a reasonably well-traveled, well-educated, well-exposed Black man! So for me, it is a big win, to find you, even later in life. As to the continuing scam of identity politics and antiracism, I share the frustration that Professor McWhorter noted. At the same time, maybe the fact that you guys *are* being heard, and therefore mentally/emotionally disseminated to audiences--like my friends--that would otherwise ignore you, is a net positive. Is it fast enough? Is it deep enough? Damned if I know. Just glad to hear you spout off, and hoping you will not stop.
