John McWhorter? In what way is he anywhere near the same side of the aisle as Milo?
- tenaciousDaniel 9y agoHe's conservative and almost invariably disagrees with social justice activists.
- MaysonL 9y agoGot a link? The John McWhorter I'm familiar with is a linguist at Columbia.
- tenaciousDaniel 9y agoYep, that's the guy. Below is a good example of his more combative ideas. He's far off from Milo, but that was kind of my point, because he's definitely on that side of the aisle. http://www.thedailybeast.com/antiracism-our-flawed-new-religion http://www.thedailybeast.com/antiracism-our-flawed-new-relig...
- MaysonL 9y agoInteresting that. According to Wikipedia, he characterizes himself as "a cranky liberal Democrat". Another quite non-rightist position cited in the W article: "the use of the word "thug" was becoming code for "the N-word" or "black people ruining things" when used by whites in reference to criminal activity."
