Don Lemon 1 asked John McWhorter whether he thought that Trump was--as someone else had called him--a "racial demagogue." Dr. McWhorter responded,
"Racial demagogue implies more active, deliberate thought than I see in a president who never surprises me, and whose actions are always based on the lowest common denominator, on the instincts of an alligator in the guise of a human . . . . We are being supervised by a person who is about as advanced on race as a less professorial Woodrow Wilson. I'ts tragic. I hope that we only have another three years of it."
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Oh, man. BURN.
I like the cut of this man's jib. Checked his bibliography out, and he's written quite a few books that look like they need to be shoved up my alley. 2 And let the gods be praised, the LFPL has two dozen titles listed, including a three part Great Courses thang entitled
"The Story of Human Language" which ahmo get my hands on asap.
And btw, I have to say that while I am consistently disappointed in CNN, that disappointment has never occurred whilst watching and hearing Don Lemon. He has become one of my Go To Guys.
1 Whom I am beginning to love. 2
2 Not in a gay way. 3
3 Not that there's anything wrong with that.
