• McWhorter is a serious and respected academic

    I don't doubt that at all - though he specialises in linguistics, and I think his political views are just that - his political views.

    I know there's not one monolithic view that all black people hold about racism and how best to deal with/overcome it - but obviously a lot of people do find these kinds of initiatives useful, and judging by current trends I'd posit there's more people in agreement than those who find it insulting/unhelpful. Can't keep everyone happy all of the time..!

    As I said before, such big and complex issues aren't going to have simple answers - but I feel that when progress seems to be being made in the right direction, chipping away at that does more harm than good.
