Black Intellectuals Discuss Our Current Predicament
There has been a lot of talk about race in America these past several months. You can tune into CNN and listen to Don Lemon if you want a timewasting activity. But better would be to listen to some black intellectuals. Some are more conservative in their outlook than others. Some are Democrats yet they do not subscribe to the woke outlook.
Glenn Loury and John McWhorter often discuss race on “The Glenn Show” over at bloggingheads. But John Wood Jr. has talked with Glenn Loury also. Coleman Hughes has a successful podcast. As does Chloe Valdary. Kmele Foster hosts a great podcast titled “The Fifth Column.” Thomas Chatterton Williams wrote a book review of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ book Between The World And Me.
