antiracism is racist on its own terms



Perhaps the central animating principle underlying the Woke agenda is that equity in outcomes must supplant equality in rights, treatment under the law and general life opportunities.


The Woke ideal is for all to be represented in every aspect of society proportional to their group—the diversity of skills, abilities, interests and myriad other factors inherent to every individual be damned. All policies must revolve around this singularly preeminent goal.


Antiracists believe it is wholly justifiable to engage in outright discrimination and bigotry—abrogating rights, treating us as unequal under the law and rigging opportunities—to the extent it advances the cause of "equity."

Oh look, another Federalist contributor. Really wide diversity of thought there... lol.

Looks like woke bashing is the conservative cause du jour. There are definitely problems with how far some people take this and it's not all fine and dandy.

Ignoring articles that make points you don't like is not promoting "diversity of thought".

and diversity of thought is important for discussion, which you are studiously avoiding.

If I can read articles from WashPo and watch CNN, you can read articles from the Federalist rather than just ignoring them. Allowing only input from approved sources sounds so...North Korean.

So, which points did this author make that you want to refute?
