Ali blasted comparisons of Georgia's election law requiring voter ID to "Jim Crow," saying doing is to "implicitly express contempt for the victims of Jim Crow and those men and women who fought against White supremacy."
She then offered a warning.
"The ideology that threatens us today and has the potential to grow in our society is a different one. It goes by many names, but I will call it wokeism," Ali said. "In fact, in an eerie way, it has remarkable similarities with White supremacy."
After saying that wokeism and White supremacy share the same ranking, with White people at the top as "oppressors" and Black people at the bottom as "victims," Ali said that "the woke" say things like "marriage, punctuality hard work, hygiene, individualism, objective truth and the notion of lifting yourself up by your bootstraps" are "manifestations of Whiteness." And that according to wokeism, Jewish people are simply considered "White" despite how "not so long ago" there was a "serious attempt [that] was made to eliminate Jews because they were considered a nuisance to the White race."
She'll always be a hero of mine for speaking the truth about the horrors of Islam and Islamism, which is a poison on this world. The regressive/illiberal/woke left are so endlessly stupid on this whole topic. Not all liberals are of that mindset, FYI.
I don't like the helpless victimhood, nor the pitting of races against each other.
That being said, "personal responsibility", while valuable in itself, is often used to ignore real systemic and cultural issues that actually pan out in real data.
Also, "woke-ism" is a disfigured term. I see nothing wrong with the original definition of "aware of racial prejudice and discrimination and its multi-generational effects". The political hijacking and nebulization of the term is something else.
Same. First off not all woke people are like what right wing and at times left media describes. Some woke people do mean well. Thier are two terms for woke. The orgonal term being alert or aware of rwvial injustice, than you havr the broad term of woke which means white academic illiberals who want to turn society upside down in the name of equity, inclusion, social justice and dismantling hierarchy in tje name of marginalization.
One thing that I find funny about wokeism is that they call ofr ending white supremacy, yet the ideology exclusively black. And treats blacks as secondaries. Lol
