@grant Well, it Started, because he was seeing the same problems most reasonable people are, and was questioning how he felt about all the gender/oppression narratives, then asked a question in a Peterson talk, which lead him to talk with Glenn Loury about it (i don't know how much they interacted before or after, and i've not seen those, i just know they have chatted about these things after that).

@C1PHER I also don't know much about either of them, but i'm sure checking him out wouldn't be bad.

I've listened to a bit of his stuff. his views on race have actually never matched the mainstream left. As shadows point out he seems like someone who will change his views if presented with evidence, so he seems like a reasonable person.

He actually debated that anti-racism has become a religion a couple month ago:

The real woke left 😉

I have this feeling that john mcwhorter noticed a while ago the left using language as a mean of trying to control the conversation. (I mean he is a linguistics professor) And that bothered him. and that the ebonics thing was the first thing he saw.

I've never heard of John before but he seems like a good lad. Like a younger version of Tomas Sowell 😃

not quite, hes still on the left. I just think this social justice warrior stuff really bothers him

we cant have anything. lol

I was comparing him to Tomas on the race issues though, I didnt make that clear lol.

everything**** Holy crap my brain today

yeah, that's where he's pretty good

here's an article going back to 2015 where he's defending scalia over affirmative action:

Bothered by a crank, intolerant, absolutist cult? Why would anyone be bothered by a religion of peace?

Let me see if I can summon my other half to commiserate with Lash.
She feels much the same way

Listening to this video... is a bit worrying.

I' haven't seen that, what is worrying? (I'll try and watch alter)

While is isn't on a full bash Kavanaugh trip (its fine if you don't like him), he is still in the space of believing the victim...... Also saying he use to be a crazy drunk, and how (not sure if this is true or not, but its not something i know about).

I do like that he is at least listening to Glenn tho.. He is still wrong.

Like I said still on the left. Doesn't mean everything he says is bad though. Also, is a person willing to consider other points so there is hope for him.

For those who are interested here's some more material to listen to:
