So far, I don't know that a single other soul has looked at the John McWhorter interviews I've posted. It may be because there are more than a dozen threads on the riots now and I haven't kept up with all of them. Or, it may simply be that the videos are too damned long!
How about just a few minutes of the new one, beginning here?

^this. My limit is about 12 minutes with linked videos, here or emailed or wherever.
I rarely watch videos. But when I do I prefer that they are on the longer rather than the shorter side. Always like to keep a high ratio of: Actual substance / time spent getting to that substance.

I clicked on it thinking I'd hear about 30 seconds worth and wasn't able to turn it off.

I was introduced to John McWhorter after seeing him on C-Span's Book TV talking about one of his books. Bought several of his books after seeing that. Here is what is of him at C-Span: https://www.c-span.org/person/?johnmcwhorter.

One good thing to come out of all the recent events is that I'm starting to treat the news like I do my portfolio - only peek once in a while.

Another is I now have an excuse for drinking too much.

France's riots are so diverse, they almost seem like guerrilla warfare between Chechens and Algerians armed with AKs and FALs.

Oh my gosh. Nice move, France. Intimidating Jews until they move to Israel and filling your land with the rest of the Mideast.
Seriously, though, this saddens me to see it happening in France.

Defclown 6 enacted in New Mexico. I don't even know how many levels there are.

Remember when Pointed Stick moved there, in part, because of California's restrictive gun laws?

Fine... as in the Park Service’s original statement, I have always considered “tear gas” to be CS or CN. I have been subjected to CS and it was quite clear that CS was not used. If the term “tear gas” can include anything with a tearing agent then so be it.
