John McWhorter | Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America

Iain Martin Reaction editor talks to New York Times bestselling author John McWhorter, author Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America.
John McWhorter argues that an illiberal neoracism, disguised as antiracism, is hurting Black communities and weakening the American social fabric.
In the book McWhorter reveals the workings of this new religion, from the original sin of “white privilege” and the weaponization of cancel culture to ban heretics, to the evangelical fervor of the “woke mob.” He shows how this religion that claims to “dismantle racist structures” is actually harming his fellow Black Americans by infantilizing Black people, setting Black students up for failure, and passing policies that disproportionately damage Black communities. The new religion might be called “antiracism,” but it features a racial essentialism that’s barely distinguishable from racist arguments of the past.
Fortunately for Black America, and for all of us, it’s not too late to push back against woke racism. McWhorter shares scripts and encouragement with those trying to deprogram friends and family. And most importantly, he offers a roadmap to justice that actually will help, not hurt, Black America.

Di d you know that WWII Black veterans and descendants are STILL not allowed GI bill benefits? There is a bill in the house to change this. CRT seeks to uncover and remedy these inequities.
