Woke Racism

How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America
Summary:

The book argues that contemporary antiracism has evolved into a counterproductive and dogmatic belief system akin to a religion, which often harms the very communities it aims to support. It critiques the ways in which this ideology can stifle debate, infantilize Black people, and divert attention from practical solutions to racial inequality.

Key points:

1. "Woke Racism" as a Religion: McWhorter views the "woke" social justice movement as a new religion with dogma, a priesthood, and moral superiority, which doesn't allow questioning or dissent.
