I received this email from Glenn Loury, he should be listened to rather than all the race hustlers that are just empty vessels making noise.
The question of how or if America can move beyond racial categorization has become a hot topic here at The Glenn Show. Over the last year, several guests, including John McWhorter, have weighed in. One of the most ardent supporters of deracialization that I’ve spoken to is Greg Thomas, CEO and co-founder of the Jazz Leadership Project and a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Cultural Evolution. Greg’s essay, “Deracialization Now,” began as a response to both me and my frequent correspondent Clifton Roscoe. Clifton and I have each, in our own ways, voiced some skepticism about the feasibility of doing away with racial categories, at least in the near term. Greg, however, argues that deracialization is possible, and sooner rather than later. Indeed, he thinks deracialization is imperative.
I invited Clifton to respond to Greg, and that kicked off a correspondence between them on the subject (I got the ball rolling with an excerpt from the new preface to The Anatomy of Racial Inequality). You’ll find that correspondence below. I’ll withhold further comment on the matter here, as I think both Greg and Clifton argue their respective sides of the argument rigorously and forcefully. Let’s keep the conversation going—I’m looking forward to reading your comments.
