| I actually like what Billy Porter is quoted as saying about "In the Life". It seems like an insight that might make a revisal more powerful and not less. I'm wary of McWhorter's critique of anti-racism. It's certainly seductive because the largely elitist (and largely white) institutional orthodoxy on anti-racism was due for a drubbing by critics of color. There's a lot of antipathy towards the contemporary jargon of anti-racism in communities of color. Eric Adams' victory is a good example of it. Yet at the same time, I'm seeing more pieces by BIPOC critics of left anti-racism in elite publications like the NYT's and the New York Review of Books (I just read a stunning one in the NYRB about Frantz Fanon) and I don't know quite what to make of it. |
