Episode description
In this episode, John McWhorter, Columbia University professor, writer, podcast host, and author joins the team. They discuss the social media fervor over the Juneteenth holiday, and take an interesting look back.
In 2001, John penned an eloquent article for City Journal entitled, "What's Holding Blacks Back?" In it, he listed pervasive beliefs by blacks, myths commonly believed by blacks, and internal issues that impede success for far too many blacks. We are coming up on a 20-year anniversary of the article so we ask him, "How much has changed?"
We also discuss his podcast and his latest book, Nine Nasty Words.
