McWhorter: 'Many School Districts' Are Sending Message That 'Essence of Being Black Is Being Oppressed'

On Wednesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "11th Hour," author and linguist John McWhorter said that many school districts are teaching a message that "to be white is to be culpable, that the whole American experiment can be argued to have been polluted from the very beginning by the stain of racism, and that the essence of being black is being oppressed." And that you can't assert such positions are "default human morality and intelligence and thought" and then "assume that everyone's going to agree and call them moral perverts if they don't."
