Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Linguist John McWhorter is the author of the new book, “Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America.” He joins Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky for a discussion on a new kind of leftist who clings to the new religion of race where the original sin is “white privilege,” and why they can’t be negotiated with. McWhorter explains how we need to normalize calling out “woke racism” for what it is, while also looking at what the right gets wrong in discussions on race.

I have enjoyed Prof. McWhorter in a linguistic course he’s put out, but I think his analogy to religion here is tenuous. It’s no different than any other ideology. But I do appreciate his speaking out against the absurdity of woke-ism.
