Huh? It seems like McWhorter genuinely has a lot of intellectual overlap with "IDW-types". McWhorter himself is often considered an "IDW-type" himself, no? Why should his association be remotely surprising?
Why should the existence of a feud with TNC be intrinsically concerning? Are feuds intrinsically concerning? Or is TNC simply beyond reproach?
- tptacek 6y agoYou are arguing from a radically different premise than I am; I didn't say Ta-Nehisi Coates was above reproach, or that there was anything intrinsically wrong with feuding with him. I think if we're this far apart to begin with, it's probably not going to be especially productive to try to hash things out further.
