He's unique. I think his thoughts on race and culture are fascinating, and he has some completely different perspectives. He is just an impressive mind.

My issue with him is that he sometimes gets caught up in the partisan crap. He can write an amazing essay on a topic that really makes you think and then ruins it by taking some political or idealogical jab. It just seems that's unnecessary, especially from such a great mind.

I'd recommend Black Rednecks, White Liberals if you're interested in cultures. It more or less says that black culture is really old redneck culture. Really interesting read.
