Since Dervy isn't commenting on this I can only assume he's following the DNC unwritten rule to never criticize a Black man unless he has a hard (R) after it.
On a 2017 episode of the Sam Harris podcast Making Sense, Loury stated that while he used to be "a Reagan conservative", he now thought of himself as a "centrist Democrat, or maybe a mildly right-of-center Democrat."[21] The New York Times described Loury as "conservative-leaning" and The Wall Street Journal described Loury as a “Reagan Republican”.[22][23]
On January 9, 2007, Loury spoke out against increasing the number of troops in Iraq.[24]
Presidential elections and candidates Loury was opposed to Barack Obama in his 2008 presidential run.[25] He continued to criticize Obama as president calling his tenure “depressing in the extreme" and also criticized Obama's closeness to Al Sharpton.[26][27]
In 2016, he supported Hillary Clinton.[28] After the 2016 United States presidential election, Loury said it was dangerous for people not to recognize Donald Trump as the 45th President. During debates with John McWhorter, Loury defended Donald Trump.[29] During Trump's presidency he doubted claims that Trump was an existential threat to the public. After Trump refused to concede that he lost the 2020 United States presidential election, however, he rebuked Trump.[30] Loury would later blame Trump for the 2021 United States Capitol attack but opposed the second impeachment of Donald Trump.[31]
Neither you nor Mystere (faking a comment from me again) even knows what an "Uncle Tom" is.
That "Uncle Tom" means a subservient Black person is due to an "erroneous interpretation of the novel. The original Uncle Tom is, well, no Uncle Tom. Like millions of his real-life counterparts at the time, Tom is enslaved. He also has courage, dignity and a strong sense of what is right. When ordered by his cruel master, Simon Legree, to whip another slave, Tom refuses; he later encourages two other slaves to escape, and when Legree confronts him, asking where they have gone, Tom refuses to reveal their whereabouts, a decision that costs him his life". link
If Minus, when he says "the Uncle Toms are all progressives", means that Black progressives stand up for what is right regardless of the personal cost (like the Uncle Tom in the novel), then I say he has a point.
But I DO NOT USE that term. Because of how it came to mean a Black person who is subservient to Whites. If that is what Minus is saying (which I am SURE he is) the reason is because he is a racist. As is Mystere.
There is a diversity of opinion among Black people, same as there is a diversity of opinion among ALL people. I didn't hear Glenn Loury say anything that caused me to think he was acting as a spokesperson for White Supremacy. If you asked him, "are you a spokesman for White Supremacy", Minus thinks he would say "yes"?
Naah. That's just what Minus thinks is the Progressive viewpoint. White racist rightturds think that, if everyone is competing on a equal playing field, then OBVIOUSLY the result will be less Black representation. Because Blacks aren't a smart as Whites. If you want to increase representation (as Progressives do) then OBVIOUSLY you've got to give jobs to LESS qualified Blacks. And discriminate against MORE qualified Whites (he made this exact argument when Joe Biden nominated KBJ to the scotus).
But that is NOT what Progressives believe. Progressives believe that minority representation can be increased by selecting QUALIFIED Blacks (or other minorities) for positions. You don't need to compromise by rejecting the more qualified White to hire a less qualified Black.
But that is how your racist minds' work.
I have NEVER called any Black person an "UNCLE TOM". Mystere does so constantly. While faking comments using my display name. But writing such comments comes naturally to him, because he is a racist.
I obviously disagree with what you cut and pasted about Glenn Loury's views concerning Barack Obama and donald tRump. tRump definitely should have been impeached the second time. And removed. Even though his term was at it's end. A conviction would have disqualified from running again (for certain). He is an insurrectionist and cannot hold the office of president as per the Constitution :P
But I do not use that term. If you see a comment that appears to be by me that uses that term -- it is a Mystere fake. I don't use that term and I never will.
btw - Can you please send one of your qualified black men or women to run for Mayor of Baltimore City. The last three haven't quite worked out very well.
I'm proudly admitting that I don't care what race anyone is. And if your "race identity BS" is dragging moral hazards into my American culture, I'm going to call you out for it.
Minus: I'm proudly admitting that I don't care what race anyone is.
Baloney. I remember you ranting about Joe Biden selecting a Black woman for the supreme Court. You were quite steamed the nominee wasn't a white man.
Your obsession with race also explains this nonsense about Michelle Obama somehow becoming the Democrat's 2024 POTUS candidate. White conservative racists especially hate Black women. Because they are very reliable Democratic voters.
Why did Biden select her? BECAUSE SHE WAS BLACK! Not because she was the most competent constitutional scholar or jurist. Race was the job's PREREQUISITE. THAT is what I object to.

Qtard: Henlon's Razor. Yawn. My explanation is much more brief and to the point. He is cretin -- who have not own mental agency. That's why it clings to "those, who know better". And re-chanting their propaganda.
Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence, they are not sure of their self-worth and are easily upset by the slightest criticism.
A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial matters. People with narcissistic personality disorder may be generally unhappy and disappointed when they're not given the special favors or admiration that they believe they deserve. They may find their relationships troubled and unfulfilling, and other people may not enjoy being around them.
Delusions of grandeur, also known as expansive delusions or grandiose delusions, are a type of false belief that someone has extraordinary traits, such as wealth, power, or fame. People with delusions of grandeur are convinced that their beliefs are true, and they may see themselves as special, chosen, or destined for greatness.

Expert knowledge to Qtard is "propaganda". Because IT is MUCH smarter than any expert -- in Qtard's grandiose delusions.
