John McWhorter – The Best of Glenn and John 2023

<p>I had planned to release the first Glenn and John episode of 2024 on New Year’s Day. Unfortunately, life had other plans, and John and I could not record as scheduled. So instead, my staff put together this collection of some of our favorite clips from 2023. John and I covered a lot of ground last year. Here you’ll see us addressing <strong>African American performance on standardized tests, the Supreme Court’s affirmative action decision, the riots of 2020, the Gaza War</strong>, and other big topics on the show.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNvHB4b76l4&#38;t=0s" target="_blank">0:00</a> A New Year's message from Glenn</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNvHB4b76l4&#38;t=156s" target="_blank">2:36</a> How do we know that African Americans are just as smart as everyone else?</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNvHB4b76l4&#38;t=675s" target="_blank">11:15</a> Glenn goes in on the 2020 riots</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNvHB4b76l4&#38;t=994s" target="_blank">16:34</a> John: I love linguistics, but linguistics no longer loves me</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNvHB4b76l4&#38;t=1537s" target="_blank">25:37</a> Glenn: How can anyone argue that race-based affirmative action doesn’t violate the 14th Amendment?</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNvHB4b76l4&#38;t=2098s" target="_blank">34:58</a> When the smoke clears in Gaza</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNvHB4b76l4&#38;t=2734s" target="_blank">45:34</a> John: “We’ve been lied to” about George Floyd’s death</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNvHB4b76l4&#38;t=3272s" target="_blank">54:32</a> Glenn and John revisit their first conversation</p> <br /><br />This is a public episode.
