Özet
People of good will on both the left and the right are secretly asking themselves the same question: how has the conversation on race gone so crazy?

Bestselling author and acclaimed linguist John McWhorter argues that an illiberal neoracism, disguised as antiracism, is hurting black communities and weakening the social fabric.

We're told to read books and listen to music by people of colour 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, labelled a racist. According to John McWhorter, 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, 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 fervour 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 all of us, it's not too late to push back against woke racism. McWhorter shares scripts and encouragement with those trying to deprogramme friends and family. And most importantly, he offers a roadmap to justice that actually will help, not hurt, black people.

As usual John M speaks clearly and thoughtfully. I am a fan mainly through his books on linguistics through which I came across this book. He speaks truth to bullies with humour and sense. I like many 'white' folk (actually I am pinkish with purple knees!) try to do good by all and - as MLK hoped - look towards a colourblind future. People's biases are there and I believe need further work - as JM stated - but will fade as all get more equal opportunities to succeed; not by punishing 'oppressors' and by doing so, becoming the new tyranny...thought police for the third-wave, anti-racist 'Elect' religion.

About time!

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good and informative read. John coverts the subject of racism in a way I try to do. I’m white and have always said since my teens that racism works on ‘both sides’, I.e. anyone of any colour can be racist. He presents this in many ways and it is both entertaining and informative. I like his wit too!

Excellent to listen to

Support social progress (real kind), love and respect people of all cultures and races? then you will love this book and the passionate, articulate arguments against dogma and twitter madness of today

Thought provoking and powerful read

McWhorter is leading the way to combat the nonsensical and destructive woke culture in the US.

A necessary book on the woke-ism

A book that restores some reason and balance in a fraught and difficult topic. Although feelings are important they are not facts! Being wise requires that we don't leave reason outside the conversation.

Makes its point clearly!
