The linguist, comparatist, publicist, and author John McWhorter [via live stream] has been involved in socio-political debates in the USA for many years, drawing attention to himself through critical comments on concepts such as ›white fragility‹. Currently, he sees the freedom of academic teaching as being threatened by ideological bans. A lecture on cancel culture and wokeness, followed by a discussion.

I think McWhorter brings up some very interesting points. I think the answers will just happen as a result of whatever makes sense to people but it will be progress. I think everyone has a stake in the racist accusations so John's caution should be headed.
