    THE NEW RELIGION OF ANTI-RACISM

    A podcast and interesting listen in which Sam Harris talks to John McWhorter., who once said this..."victimology, separatism, and anti-intellectualism underlie the general black community’s response to all race-related issues, and "it’s time for well-intentioned whites to stop pardoning as 'understandable' the worst of human nature whenever black people exhibit it."

    Listen, or don't 'sup to you.
