Who Gets To Say with John McWhorter
Podcast: Why Is This Happening? The Chris Hayes PodcastPublished On: Tue Mar 30 2021
Description: Over the past few years a broader conversation around speech has intensified in the United States. It is a conversation about speech, taboo, social justice, power and hierarchy, penalty about what things people can or can't say, should or shouldn't say in what environments, and what censure should attach to that kind of speech.

This week scholar and linguist, John McWhorter, joins to discuss our discourse around speech and debate where we as a society should set our boundaries.
