Is "Wokism" a religion?
The modern antiracist movement, often referred to as the Woke
movement, has provoked backlash for seemingly seeking to deplatform
and censor Americans with dissenting points of view, and
attributing racism to wide swaths of American society. According to
John McWhorter, this is because "Wokism" is less an ideology and
more an irrational religion.
But is it? I ask John some questions to see if he isn't rushing to
this characterization too quickly. As always John is ready to
respond.
