John McWhorter argues that an illiberal neoracism, disguised as antiracism, is hurting Black communities and weakening the American social fabric.
What The Reviewers Say
It’s easy...to mock the lengths to which white liberals will go to be seen as antiracist. McWhorter is more interesting when he discusses why some African Americans have chosen to join the ranks of the Elect.
[McWhorter's] book is a cry from the heart, and readers should gauge the depth of his indignation from the fact that its working title was F*** ’Em.
Though McWhorter’s book does not fulfill the promise of its premise, it is at least an actual argument, not something sketched out on a napkin in the Fox News green room and passed off to a ghostwriter with a talent for trolling the libs.
McWhorter is trying to inject a measure of sanity into a debate that has become increasingly unhinged.
