260 | How Antiracism Disempowers, with Professor Erec Smith
About this episode
I speak with Professor Erec Smith (@Rhetors_of_York) about how the field of rhetoric is being taken over by a loud minority which has no problem silencing a black man for the cause of antiracism. We also speak about his experience with racism and why critical thinking is his jam.
