The Roots of Wokeism and Critical Race Theory: A Dangerous Ideology
Wokeism derives from postmodernism, viewing every principle as a reflection of underlying power structures. This transitioned into a racial version, where the US systems are seen as white supremacist, perpetuated by those favoring white power. Critical race theory applies the concept of 'equity,' distinguishing it from 'equality,' claiming that any system inequality indicates discrimination, verified by one's race. This ideology advocates for anti-racist policies, where discrimination based on race is deemed necessary to rectify the system. However, this victim-victimizer narrative undermines individual responsibility and objective meritocracy, the only system with consistently positive outcomes across various domains.
