John McWhorter definitely falls into the category of the POC intellectual who realizes there is money to be made from insulting other POCs. With that said, he does make some salient points on the "Woke" debate.
With that said, I understand and sympathize with those people who want to right historic wrongs, but there is a fine line between righting historical wrongs and inflicting widespread punishment through an accusatory, "guilt by association" mentality, which is too often what the Woke ideology seeks to achieve. As such, and based on what I have heard Mr. McWhorter say on various tv shows, I would agree with him.
John McWhorton is associated with the conservative think tank, Manhattan Institute. He self-describes as a “cranky liberal” and glories in criticizing the left while claiming to be left. Just cause he wrote a book doesn’t mean he’s cornered the truth on “wokeness”. Maybe he, like some other commenters here, like myself, is north of 50 and is simply out of touch with the POV of younger generations.
Read John McWhorter’s book. I did and that’s what I’m talking about.

Might as well say read Candace Owen's book
