Wow. Just wow.

I was barely aware of Glenn Loury and had never heard him speak. Until now.

Bari, the title for your podcast, "Honestly", and the name of your substack blog -- "Common Sense" (an echo of Thomas Payne, whose "Common Sense" inspired the American Revolution in 1776) -- both ring clear and true. By amplifying the voice of Glenn Loury, you're performing a great service for your country. Thanks.

As for Glenn Loury's brilliance and intellectual rigor, what can I say? Now... if Powers-That-Be simply listen to Loury, or Tom Sowell, or Shelby Steele, rather than kowtow to cultural Marxism... then, we shall overcome. Someday?

In the honest words of aptly-named Mr. FREEMAN on CBS 60-Minutes, December 18, 2005:

MIKE WALLACE: "How are we going to get rid of racism, are..."

MORGAN FREEMAN: (interrupting Wallace's question...) “Stop talking about it! [pause]

I’m going to stop calling you a white man. And I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man. I know you as Mike Wallace. You know me as Morgan Freeman. You’re not going to say, ‘I know this white guy named Mike Wallace.’ Hear what I’m saying?”
