John McWhorter

John McWhorter writes for various publications on language difficulties and race issues such as CNN, the Wall Street Journal, the Beast, Time, and the Atlantic, and educates music history, philosophy, and linguistics at Columbia University. He told his mother he wanted to be an "publication writer" if he was five, and so is glad that it worked out.
