			<description><![CDATA[ I actiually have to say after reading the book McWhorter&#39;s arguments are not all that good but assumeing black america is going to be saved by a music
genre is equally foolish. Also asumeing that John mcWhorteris jsut a mouth peice for white conserrvitves is dehumenizeing if he is a mouth peice for white
conservitves does that make Michal Eric Dyson a mouth peice for white liberals? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well respected by who? Hes a linguist you say? That just means he studies language and its known that all those theories on language, those charts claiming the
origins of languages, are erroneous. Just shit that was created alongside Darwinism for political reasons. He just got a degree and agreed to be the mouthpiece
for white academia. I read through one of his earlier books and concluded he was garbage. I wont hear him out unless its out the door. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ First off John McWhorter is a well respected linguist and secondly not many of us know the background of the reviewer or what presuppositions he is coming
with. Also let&#39;s not march in lock step with someone because they simply say something we may agree with.  Tobe truly honest in our criticism you have to
study and look at the ideas in and behind a person&#39;s work.  I may also comment by saying yes the majority of hip-hop is &quot;commercial&quot; but there is
political rap still it... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Mcwhorter, like the rest of the modern black intelligensia circuit (eg, Cornel West, Michael Eric Dyson, Eddie Glaude, etc.), is getting his philosophical
hustle on, flashing his academic bling to those who find his message appealing. That audience is explicitly NOT the hip-hop community, so this book needs to be
framed in that context.
<br>
<br>
I saw McWhorter on C-SPAN a few months ago on Book TV, where they do the 3 hour retropsective of his works, and I do have a lot of respect for him.... ]]></description>
