John McWhorter On "Treme"

If you watch "Treme" on HBO and are interested in John McWhorter's take on authenticity and New Orleans, read this. A snippet: the show is "mesmerizing in its ways (I intend to keep watching) but leaves you beaten over the head every week about just how vibrantly real New Orleans is. Realer than where you live. Realer, really, than you."
