The Myopic Bigotry of Wokerism Details VIEW FROM HERE-Wokerism has not been around long, at least not by that name. It refers to the Left wing anti-white racist ideology that all things white are evil and all things minority are good. Being Woke did not start out as racist just as critical race theory did not start out being racist. But in the hands of the Dems, especially Nancy Pelosi and those to her left, both have degenerated into divisive racism. Woker’s Origin People who belong to minorities have a different perception of the larger society than the larger society has of itself. This phenomenon is true for Jews and Gays as well as Roman Catholics and various Hispanic peoples. When I was a kid, I heard Christians say around Christmastime, “Don’t shop at Shoeman’s Fashion Center for Christmas. They’re Jews.” So I chimed in, “Instead, shop at the National Clothing Company,” where my dad was merchandise manager. I neglected to mention that The National was the largest Jewish store in town.
