John McWhorter, an author and linguistics professor at Columbia University, said Friday that most of the leftists proposing radical racial changes are racists hiding behind language.
“The[y] are, frankly, trying to ruin this country although they genuinely think that they’re bringing us in a new and beautiful direction,” McWhorter told Federalist Publisher Ben Domenech on Fox’s “Primetime.” “The[y] are not the woke…The[y] are the hyper woke. Or more to the point, The[y] are the woke who are mean. People who’ve decided that in order to make the world properly woke, it makes sense to defenestrate people, destroy careers and reputations.”
One of the ways the ruling class continues to force identity politics on Americans, McWhorter said, is through education.
“I’m not somebody who’s usually for apocalyptic rhetoric, but there really is a genuinely alarming takeover of education happening right now which is based on the idea that black kids and also Latino kids should not be expected to actually get the answer, should not be expected to be precise, and to impose the strictures of math upon them is racist — that somehow being precise, not to mention being on time and cherishing the written word, is a white thing and that we have to ‘decenter whiteness,’” McWhorter said.
