juneteenth

john mcwhorter is an idiot

Shorter John "Talking Android" McWhorter on why he doesn't like Juneteeth:

Given my longstanding inability to empathize with the bulk of black people, I find myself unmoved by Juneteenth's tedious rememberances of olde tyme negroe sharecroppers. I would prefer to focus on the more recent roots of my privilege and disavowal.

I don't have the time this morning to get into exactly why McWhorter is such a predictable hack so we'll just have to settle for the shorter ebog/gary dauphin:

Go fuck yourself, John.
