re: #80 A hollow voice says: Abort SCOTUS

Did I read that incorrectly, or are you calling John McWhorter a racist?

Back from the library.

Yes. When you call the Black Lives Matter movement “identity politics” and equate that to a religion and equate that to racists being fired from jobs, I think I can make a case that’s a case for racism.

He has stated he disagrees “sustainedly” with many of the “tenets” (religious holdings) of the Civil Rights Movement.

Political theorists place him as a so-called radical centrist.

Back in 2001, he wrote an article claiming it was the “attitudes of Black people” rather than the racism of whites which hold Black people back. In 2005 on NPR, he used the word “thug” in an interview as coded language for ni*CLANG. He calls all responses by the Black community “separatism” and anti-intellectualism, and time for well-intentioned whites to stop pardoning the worst of human behaviour when Black people exhibit it. He rejected critical race theory in a New York Times op-ed, saying some other agenda was afoot.

He posits anti-racism is equally as damaging as racism, and argues anti-racists “openly infantilise” Black people.

Yeah, he’s a racist.
