The Dehumanization of Blacks Posted on July 26, 2020 The Dehumanization of Blacks McWhorter understands that to see blacks the way the white and black left want people to see them is to dehumanize blacks. If blacks are black before they are human—if no nonblacks can relate to blacks, disagree with blacks or want to see past color to the person’s heart—black-nonblack relations will have been set back a half-century.Incredibly, beginning this coming year, thanks to progressive teachers, there will be mandatory reading of racist tracts like “White Fragility” to dehumanize blacks. That any black would see this as progress is worthy of tears.
