I follow Wilfred Reilly on Twitter (among many other people). Today, he posted this 2016 video by Ami Horowitz. I understand that the video was created with a viewpoint in mind. We don’t know Horowitz chose the people he features or what interviews might have been cut from the final product. That said, This video attacks a deep, unfortunate and insulting assumption that underlies many Woke positions: That Black people are all the same, that society should treat them as a group instead of as individuals and that Blacks are in many ways incompetent. This Woke assumption should be repeatedly yanked out into the daylight and ridiculed, as Shelby Steele has forcefully done throughout his 2020 documentary, “What Killed Michael Brown?”
For more commentary on the documentary I mentioned above, “What Killed Michael Brown,” in invite you to listen to “The Glenn Show,” featuring Glenn Loury and (every few episodes) John McWhorter. This is a 180 degree commentary compared to much of the prevailing racial zeitgeist:
I saw the video perhaps a month or two ago. My only problem with Horowitz is that he calls these people “Liberals.” They are leftists. Liberals that I know do not maintain the racist attitudes and positions of these pathetic children. I’m typically a stickler for full disclosure on sample selection, but it’s irrelevant in this case. These are Berkeley students on whose behalf somebody is footing a $37K annual cost. It’s obvious the education is worthless, and some parents, spouses and taxpayers should be getting large checks from the University.
