No such thing anymore. I'm a moderate democrat, and former progressive acquaintances have flat out told me they wanted me dead too. Couple that with the Democrat Party's current alliance with radical Islam, and you have more violence headed our way.

It's not going to matter when their thought processes are tuned out due to fatigue. The white generation coming into high school right now are way more based than previous batches.

He and Glenn Loury have been pushing back on the black community blaming all its ills on whites for a long time now. All of the pro "respek" crowd avoids debating them at all costs.

Instead of over-exposure to street rappers and athletes, young blacks should be given heavy doses of those two along with Thomas Sowell and the late, great Walter E. Williams.

Mcwhorter and Coleman Hughes are two of my absolute favorite political commentators that can be found on YouTube.

Unfortunately, as neither say anything outlandish or bombastic, they don’t have nearly the same following as those that do.

It’s a real indictment on our country and one of the reasons there’s so much hatred and division.

McWhorter is fantastic. He’s also a top linguist and has a lecture series on the Great Courses worth listening to.

No, it's not. He's been talking like this for years on youtube with a few other conservative/nonlibprog black Americans.

McWhorter is a pleasure to listen to. He could be a voice actor I bet

It doesn’t matter. Their only power is liberal whites who sympathize with them. Once they lose that, and it’s happening, they are just screaming into the void.

No one cares.

Hes not wrong. No young white kid born after 2000 should EVER feel guilty about anything that happens to a black kid after 2000 in terms of racial grievances.

You have fallen for the liberal DEI position by implying that whites born before 2000 should feel guilty.

I was born in 1962 and I don’t feel the least bit of guilt about treatment of black people. I never voted for them to be oppressed, nor did I oppress them.


Penrod has it right. Affirmative action was legalized racism from the 1970's on, and I personally wound up on the wrong end of it more than once.

If anything, the young black kid just has to be average and he/she will be accelerated as far ahead as they possibly can be.



With all the programs in place, if you’re a POC or a woman and you’re not making at least a $100k per year, there's something wrong with you.

You’re either very dumb or you have a low work ethic. The fact that employers can get a tax credit and still not want to hire you is very telling.

I think a lot of people just get caught up in virtue signaling and don’t really care - but they do what society perceives as ‘good’

It’s bull shite.
