I wont lie. I'm a lawyer at 26 and earn in the top 1% of my age group and the group above. at this point, I can straight up say no one gets here by making excuses. every single person, no matter who they are or what they look like, has looked in the mirror and pushed through. i can promise you what you're feeling is valid, but if you let yourself be consumed by it, someone else is gonna get ahead. its dog eat dog.

John McWhorter is a treasure!
-
I love the cadence of his speech. I'm so jealous of people with the gift of being able to string together words quickly, rather than having to think about it for a long time.
-
In a nut shell, people are so focused on sharing their challenges, nobody is talking about the solutions.
-
McWhorter is always fascinating.
-
Victimization mindset only leaves the individual in chains.
-
As a black person who has observed this spectacle of victimhood, I see it as being an effective tool to provide alibis for some of our failures as black people. Because of this sense of oppression, we do not have to take responsibility for such things as a 70% father-absence, high crime, low academics, and so on.
-
He understands the subject at such a deep level
-
Life is hard and it is supposed to be . Some go to victimhood some push forward. How you react in those hard times define you
-
He’s brilliant. As a black woman who has become progressively more conservative, and far less invested in the victim mindset, I hope to meet and partner with a black man like him. This is a whole vibe.
-
First time I’ve heard this gentleman speak. Very knowledgeable
-
This man is so insightful
-
Sad sir that your voice is not louder than Kendi. His latest narcissistic book How to be a Young Antiracist is he for real.
-
I can listen to him all day!!
-
Completely nails it. I really believe this is the genesis of the whole woke movement.
-
This is especially evident in Hollywood, where you have successful, wealthy people talking about how oppressed they are (usually when their career starts tanking)
-
Hes so good at words. I just love to hear him do the words...
-
Penetrating words from a consistently wise person. Thanks.
-
Bravo, John. Remarkable speech.
-
He’s right about that book Coddling of the American Mind, it should be required reading in high schools …
