Haha! Wow! Lot of hostility there James! Are you okay? Feeling better now?😂

It always makes me laugh how you geniuses think you understand people after reading a few words on a screen, I've just had somebody else accuse me of being on the Right, and now you accuse me of being woke. No, I’m not “woke” and no, McWhorter’s article wasn’t my research. The story just helped me put into words an idea that I’d been trying to express clearly.

As for it beng in a "rabidly progressive liberal magazine", do you judge ideas solely by the publicatons they appear in? Or are you smart enough to read them and decide for yourself? Dismissing ideas because they apperaed in the wrong place creates exactly the same stupid, echo-chamber thinking that the "woke" people you disdain are guilty of.

I didn’t speak to two or three people about why they voted for Trump, I spoke to literally hundreds in the comments on the article linked at the top of this piece as well as many others in person. I know you’re having fun projecting whatever issues you have with the progressives who were mean to you on Twitter onto me, but I’m not the guy you’re assuming I am.

If you'd resisted the urge to hammer out this nonsense long enough to read the article you’d see that I wasn’t arguing that black people voting in their interests was undemocratic or even surprising. Nor did I suggest that they were stupid. I disagree with their choices, but I understand why those choices are made. In fact, the entire point of the article is that it’s simplistic to assume that black peoples will always prioritise racial issues when they vote.
