The Democratic Party is who is “leading” the black culture. They are pushing the handouts which say you can’t do better, they are pushing abortion, they pushed getting the man out of the home with welfare, they are pushing “gun control,” let’s blame a gun to avert from doing anything real. Fantastic Mr Winkfield loved every thing about this genuine man.

Glenn is a national treasure.

I read Glenn's book, Late Admissions: Confessions of a Black Conservative. I wasn't surprised by Glenn's less than stellar younger years. Young people with exceptional IQ can still be immature gitts. Glenn reminded be of the character Will Hunting in 'Good Will Hunting' but without the 'white guilt'. Incredibly he may suffer from 'black guilt'. Many of us slithered through our younger years and in later years wondered how we survived. Senator J.D Vance 'Hillbilly Ellegy' is another fine example, there are many. My advice to Glenn is to forgive himself all past peccadilloes, as far as I know he never advocated for the assassination of a POTUS, or any other such thing. He should accept the gift of life and good fortune that the God of the universe bestowed upon him. Follow the dictates in the Desiderata, smell the coffee and the roses. Be happy.

John McWhorter should be prosecuted. It is a crime to call for the assassination of a President. It is NOT free-speech to encourage violence. An academic suggesting that murder is a good solution indicates indecent, immoral bankruptcy and intellectual vacancy. The 'black guys' image on the Glenn Show has been destroyed and black stereotypical perspectives can now be applied to John McWhorter. John should resign.

Glen, It would be interesting to hear you and John McWhorter engage in a deep discussion of this early book on the topic:

The Racialization of America

(St. Martin's Press, New York, 1993)

by Yehudi O. Webster

An African-American Professor at CSU Los Angeles

EXCERPTS

" [It] is neither race nor racism that bedevils American society, but rather that racial classification enjoys a privileged status in social studies. American society is being tied in painful knots by virtue of legislative, social scientific, and media practices of racially classiflying persons...

"This official racial classification was never benign. The collection of occupational data by race in 1890 coincided with the imposition of jim crowism. Contemporarily, racial classification serves various Republican and Democratic electoral interests. The creation and manipulation of "blacks" and "whites" are long standing practices....

"Social scientists, legislators, entrepreneurs and publicists use racial classification to generate a racial ethos that is then claimed to be the basis of their practices ... official racial classification and studies of racial experiences do nothing but render social problems insoluble. Racial solutions, such as busing, affirmative action, black power, and multiculturalism, are bound to fail, because they heighten the very racial awareness that is said to have led to "racial problems" in the first place."

Is he still around, still teaching, available for interview? Has it been updated? Multiple bureaucracies have been established and funded related to racialization. Can they be broken & /or dismantled?

I'm so glad you're getting more air time on other programs, Glenn! Looking forward to listening to this conversation.

For what purpose? JD Vance is one of the least interesting figures in American politics. He's just another shapeshifting, opportunistic grifter. The only thing remotely interesting about Vance is the depth of his shamelessness.

JD Vance is a fundamentally unserious person who abases himself on a daily basis to demonstrate his fealty to a man he previously compared to Hitler before he realized that swearing an allegiance to Trump is the easiest way to advance in the current incarnation of the GOP. I’ll reserve comment on what your admiration for a person like that says, but again: why on earth would an interview with such a person be of any interest to all but the most devoted MAGAs? Vance doesn’t even believe the abject nonsense he is peddling, but for some reason you do.
