What to Make of John McWhorter
<p>John McWhorter is a linguist based at Columbia University who has designated himself as a culture warrior of a different stripe from the liberals usually given that term. He self-identifies as an anti-culture warrior who wants to show left-leaning social activists that he knows better than they and that they are wrong, wrong, wrong about what they believe and in the tactics they use.</p>
<p>Moreover, he claims their effects are counter productive. Instead of advancing the rights and cultural access of disadvantaged people, he says they impede those people’s progress toward attaining rights and social access. They are bad culture warriors. McWhorter lists among them Ibram Kendi, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Jamil Smith, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Ayanna Pressley, all Black people like himself.</p>
