John McWhorter, Articulator
ohn McWhorter, a writer and thinker I admire greatly, is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and an associate professor of linguistics at U.C. Berkeley.
His books include Authentically Black, The Power of Babel, and Losing the Race: Self-Sabotage in Black America.
Here is my favorite picture of John McWhorter:
You can get a flavor of his thinking with this Op-Ed piece, Why I'm Black, Not African American.
His latest book is Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of Language and Music and Why We Should, Like, Care. Is that, like, a great title or what?
If you've never read this man, ARE YOU, LIKE, INSANE? Here's the introduction to his new book. Now go forth and put money into Mr. McWhorter's pockets. Keep this man in leisure to write more books and talk more on television and radio. Hugh Hewitt take note!
