John McWhorter still is. (Previous discussion -- with video -- here.) How personal is this for McWhorter? I was lucky as a black Urkel: Having inherited my mother's sharp tongue, I did not get called "white" for liking school. But I do recall one Asian
kid who gave me a hard time for being "smart" once in eighth grade. Somehow I came up with "Okay, Rex"--yes, Rex, go figure--"but one day you're going to be asking me for a job." That
did get to him somehow, and I received no slapping-up, beating- ...

... as a sincere move. Here I see the link between Hertzberg's comment and the present controversy. I think John McWhorter is right to argue
that this moment "forces us to attend yet again to the sometimes discomfitingly partial overlap between Blue American bona fides and black authenticity."

I enjoyed John McWhorter's piece arguing that Shakespeare should be performed as translated into modern English, because even when he used
words that exist to this day (such as "character"), he was using older meanings that are rather different than what we would understand. I've recently been trying to read Dante's Divine
Comedy. Emphasis on "trying," because it's rather hard going, mostly because so much of the meaning lies in Dante's placement of so many then-modern-day Italian politicians, ...

I HAVEN'T FOUND THE ECONOMIST'S DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA blog quite as interesting as its Free Exchange blog, perhaps because the latter is a lot closer to The Economist's core strength.

JOHN MCWHORTER: It is reasonable to surmise that Barack Obama will be the next President. Mr Obama has a once-in-a-lifetime charisma that
Hillary Clinton could never approximate, and she also suffers from the handicap of not being black. For all of his other plusses, part of Mr Obamaâs appeal lies in the fact that many
whites feel that voting for a black presidential candidate would be Doing the Right Thing. Leon Wieseltier has been explicit about this; he is not unique. Read the whole thing.
