McWhorter: Chappelle's Critics Believe 'They Have Found the Final Solution' and Disagreement Makes You 'a Moral Pervert'

On Friday's broadcast of HBO's "Real Time," author and linguist John McWhorter said that comedian Dave Chappelle is being attacked by those who believe "what we must hold front and center is battling or striking battle poses against power differentials, and that must center everything that we do intellectually, artistically, morally," and failure to go along with this thinking makes you "a moral pervert and you must be defenestrated and chased out of the public square." McWhorter also pointed out that those who think this way have rather childish worldviews and we've repeatedly seen that this sort of thinking isn't actually shared by most people.
