Woke Racism (John McWhorter)

I had written about what I called new racism just recently. Prof. John McWhorter found a much more precise and therefore better term: He named it WOKE Racism and wrote a recommendable book on this topic. It is about a special groupe in society, the so called WOKE community. And he criticises the WOKE attitude which finally does not help underprivileged people.

John McWhorter is a professor of linguistcs at Columbia University. Here is a ABS television interview published on Youtube:

And here is a lecture he gave on Cancel Culture and Wokeness for an audience in Berlin, also available on youtube:

John MCWhorter calls CRT (Critical Race Theory) a religion which acts blunt and brutal.
