He now argues that the current anti-racism ideology is a new religion of the left.
In his new book, “Woke Racism,” McWhorter lashes out at what he calls the “third-wave anti-racism,” which positions racism to be the totality of Black American experience.
He also calls out the Black names such as Ibram Kendi, Ta-Nehisi Coates and Nikole Hannah-Jones for promoting these ideas that he argues infantilize Black people.
McWhorter joins Marc Lamont Hill on “Black News Tonight” to discuss the book.
All this and more on “Black News Tonight.”

it is refreshing to see people who don't necessarily agree with a topic have a pleasant dialogue where both sides do not end up yelling at each other
-
Mad respect to Marc for bringing legit intellectuals who disagree.
-
“Black news tonight”, sounds like a satirical news outlet on South Park.
-
"We’re taught that we’re supposed to identify possible instances of racism in everything that we see and that exercise, and it becomes an exercise, doesn’t have anything to do with helping black people in underserved communities make their lives better. We’re distracted by posturing over activism." Nailed it.
-
McWhorter consistently tries to focus on the topic of improving black people's lives, while the interviewer always brings the conversation back to how not to let the white people off the hook. Basically, proving the book's point.
-
Marc’s logic is so convoluted and tortured that while l’m sure it’s heart felt, it is for me almost impossible to follow. He seems to me the perfect example of black woke that McWorter is talking about.
-
"A white supremacist world" - What a sad statement to make.
-
I’ll give him credit for bring mcwhorter on. Never thought I’d see the day
-
Marc is one of the ‘elect’ that John writes about in the book.
-
You can support the betterment of black American lives without being anti-“white.” 🤯
-
I cannot believe McWhorter of all people is framed as the ‘contrarian’ in this discussion. Everything he said was incredibly obvious and rational
-
I totally agree with John McWhorter, we need less conversation and definitely more solutions👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
-
I'm a simple man. I see Prof McWhorter and watch.
-
If you've never been attracted to a black person it is anti-blackness? 😂 What nonsense is Marc on? I'm black and this is even absurd to me.
-
Man, it's very entertaining to see just how speculative Marc Lamont Hill's entire worldview is.
-
Prof. McWhorter is KING!!! Love him!!!
-
Wokeness has a Strong element of narcissism.
-
As an independent with conservative leanings, I would like to see the federal and state funding to universities with athletic budgets of hundreds of millions redistributed to trade/vocational schools in/near poor communities as financial aid scholarships and for businesses to relocate these graduates to areas where they have jobs available. I think this would help create more middle class citizens from these poor communities and provide better lives for their children.
-
Conversations like this need to happen much more frequently.
-
Because both Marc and John are measured and willing to have an actual dialogue, I find myself more open to hearing “the other side” of the issue. Kudos to both men for representing how discourse should take place.
