John McWhorter

Traditionally, when the media wanted African-American commentary on the news topic of the day, there were the predictable go-to-guys: Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson or Reverend [insert name here], to name a few. However, in the midst of a digital revolution and in the age of Obama, a new generation of African-American scholars has emerged. While they are all educated, opinionated and engaged, interchangeable they are notThrough writings, activism, interviews and commentary, these 11 commentators and bloggers have proved to be some of the most interesting African-American voices heard above the crowd. And, obviously, there are many riveting pundits out there but we had to narrow down our list to a mere 11.

    Thank you for bringing both sides of the dialogue to our attention. I can appreciate gossip about Lil Wayne but am much more inclined to read articles about how race and politics frame the national discourse.

    They didn’t include me! Bummers!

    I am tired of the same old left wing socialist commentators acting like there is only one point of view in the black community. I’m looking at you CNN. We need to hear both sides now only crabs in a barrel like it one way only.

  • lilly

    Thanks 4 the info :)

  • She said it.

    I Love John McWhoter. He breaks down the victimhood mentality blacks carry like a badge of honor down something proper and I do mean Proper.

    @ James. I soo agree with you. I even feel that Oprah is stuck in the past w/those old ideologies of racism. I know racism is alive and well, but I don’t feel crippled by it.

  • Clarity

    Great stuff! Now that’s what I’m talking about…Good info.

    How dare you!!! Who are you to talk so ill of Jesse and Al. It is often the most ignorant among us who preceive themselves to be so smart. For instance, among that list of eleven is one of the largest self hating, uncle Tom, Sell-Outs in the country. Ha Ha you just made a fool of yourself. Since you didn’t do you homework, I’ll give you another chance. Here’s your task: Do your homework and figure out who I’m talking about. Then print an apology to your readers and Al and Jesse. You big Dummy!!!!!!!

    John McWhorter is quite simply a monumental sell-out, and for you place this Uncle Tom House N______ on the list is unforgivable. Do your research please!!!
