Woke Racism by John McWhorter
How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America
This book argues that contemporary race-focused activism has become a dogmatic, religion-like ideology that exaggerates systemic oppression, undermines individual agency, and harms the very communities it claims to help; it critiques identity politics, certain forms of anti-racist training and education, and what the author sees as a punitive moralism, while urging a return to policies and cultural practices that emphasize education, economic opportunity, free speech, and historical nuance as better routes to racial progress.
