This chapter explores the origins of wokeism through varying theories posited by thinkers such as Chris Ruffo and Richard Hanania.

The discussion also addresses the implications of meritocracy, societal expectations of representation, and the need for open dialogue to navigate the complexities surrounding race and equality.
