Americans of good will on both the left and the right are secretly asking themselves the same question: how has the conversation on race in America gone so crazy? We re told to read books and listen to music by people of color but that wearing certain clothes is appropriation. We hear that being white automatically gives you privilege and that being Black makes you a victim. We want to speak up but fear we ll be seen as unwoke or worse labeled a racist. According to John Mc Whorter the problem is that a well - meaning but pernicious form of antiracism has become not a progressive ideology but a religion and one that's illogical unreachable and unintentionally neoracist. In Woke Racism Mc Whorter 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. Mc Whorter 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Woke Racism How A New Religion Has Betrayed Black America\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780593423066\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 10\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Book Delivered","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49588132675889,"sku":"IN-G-9780593423066","price":31.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780593423066-woke-racism-how-a-new-religion-has-betrayed-black-america","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
