BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Thomas Chatterton Williams: Race, identity and power

A mixed-race American writer who challenges the so-called 'woke' culture

Thomas Chatterton Williams is a mixed-race American writer and a self-declared ex-black man whose ideas present a challenge to so-called 'woke' culture.

Stephen Sackur speaks to Thomas Chatterton Williams, a mixed-race American writer and self-declared ex-black man, whose ideas present a challenge to so-called 'woke' culture. How much room is there right now for respectful, thoughtful debate?
