Dr. Eddie Glaude did not allow John McWhorter, author of “Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America” to mislead the audience. He is but a prostitute to the Right in a black face.
Eddie Glaude checks ‘Woke Racism’ author
John McWhorter, author of Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America, appeared on Morning Joe to discuss his new book. He evidently characterized his book differently than the actual content. Dr. Eddie Glaude did not allow the author to get away with it. He called him out in real-time.
“The book does not like what you are talking about,” Glaude challenged McWhorter. “There is a sentence at the end of Chapter 1 where you say they are coming after your kids. You know how that sentence lands at this moment. There is a throwaway line in the book where you say some of us are talking about why are you focusing on this when we can focus on January 6 and the insurrectionists. You call it a debate thing faint.”
Glaude reminded the author about the legislatures across the country disenfranchising people of color. He also called out the author for calling the fight against racism institutionalized as he gave a pass to the insurrectionists purportedly because they are not. Yet, the legislatures are doing all the work the insurrectionists are being treasonous about.
The best line that captures the fraud, the prostitute-in-black-face to the Right more dangerous than Candace Owen is a classic.
“I don’t know what you are up to,” Glaude admonished the author. “I don’t understand the political work of this book in this moment.”
