Wokeism is the most sophisticated form of racism ever built. Not because it hates one group, but because it reduces every human being to their skin color and calls it justice. Its roots aren't mysterious. Critical theory from the Frankfurt School, French postmodernists like Foucault and Derrida, then critical legal studies on American campuses, distilled into Critical Race Theory in the 80s and 90s. The core idea: society is nothing but a power struggle between groups. The individual doesn't exist. Merit doesn't exist. Only oppressor and oppressed. Accept that premise and everything else follows. You're judged by your race before you open your mouth. Your success is privilege, your failure is oppression. That's not anti-racism. That's racism with a PhD. And look at who actually holds these views. Not most minorities. Only about 3% of Hispanic Americans use "Latinx." Most Black Americans told Gallup they wanted the same or more police presence in their neighborhoods, not less. The "Hidden Tribes" study found the hard progressive activist wing is around 8% of the population, and whiter and wealthier than average. A small radicalized class speaks in the name of minorities who never asked it to. The coalition doesn't even hold together. Feminists vs trans activists on women's sports. Asian Americans who had to go to the Supreme Court because Harvard discriminated against them in the name of diversity. A framework that keeps producing these contradictions isn't a moral philosophy. It's a hierarchy of grievances. And none of this grew organically. It's an industry. DEI became a multi-billion dollar market: corporate trainings, consultants, foundation grants, university bureaucracies whose budgets depend on the problem never being solved. Follow the incentives and you find an entire class of people paid to see racism everywhere. Cut the money and it starts collapsing, which is exactly what we've watched since companies began slashing DEI budgets. Real anti-racism is simple: judge people as individuals. MLK said it in 1963. Everything since that tried to replace it has been a step backwards.
