    Sounded interesting. Heard McWhorter on Bill Maher. He sounded pragmatic.
    He, in a way, came across as looking as the Woke, as the New*Book Burners.
    Wokesters are the 'Politically Correct', everyone else must be silenced.

    Haven't read it yet.

    He is entitled to his opinion. But I give his opinion the same weight I give to any other minor celebrity.

    Again, I have not read the book. I am posting these reviews as giving one perspective.

    The bottom line is that conservatives cant admit to themselves the Evil they have allowed to romp on their watch.

    This is going to hurt.

    That the reason escapes your small mind is instructive.

    Have you ever written a post without using the first person? McWhorter is a personal hero of mine and I read him avidly. You, on the other hand, are a sanctimonious, hectoring, pompous, preening poppinjay.

    Yet you still support Biden and the Regressives, why is that?
