The ideological cocktail poisoning American campuses

[Valletta]

The leftist ideology that has become dominant on campuses today, sometimes called wokeism, adds a twist that is racialist and arguably racist: that all those deemed (by the woke) as "people of color" are oppressed and entitled to commit any and all atrocities to "resist" those deemed (by the woke) as "white."
This is a mirror image of the Nazis' belief that the German nation, "the Aryan man," and white people were oppressed and that the solution was what they called a "racial revolution." (You should know that both Nazi and woke racial constructs lack any scientific basis.)

Exactly. It is a spinoff of Marxism, with hatred of race replacing hatred of class.

Not only Jews. I have kids with more multi cultural blood than most the whites who complain about other whites and I don't like it. I have grandkids that are white as sheets and some are darker. My kids are not racists and I know my grandkids aren't either because they have a black sister or cousin. Bloodline: Eurapeon, Japanese, Mexican, Black Cajun, and 1 African American. Judging people by the color of their skin is stupid. I've found in life that there are racists in every group.

"Today, the woke decree that Jews – including black-skinned Jews from Ethiopia and brown-skinned Jews from Yemen – are white enough to deserve denunciation as "settler-colonists," even in the Judean Hills and the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. They claim every inch of Israel is a colony. Of what foreign empire, they don't say."

Not if it is like student protests of yesteryear. Awareness of ongoing genocide is not going away even as the induced famine worsens.

The OP is trying to equate antiZionism and genocide with the ridiculous rightwing term "wokeism". Who uses the term "wokeism"? Only the righties and they use it to label the out-group. Nobody calls themself that, because it is propaganda.

“Communism” was overused, they needed another thing to be mad about…so they invented one.
“Wokeism” is a catch-all term that attempts to make being intolerant, a virtue.
It’s brilliant in its way, they get to be the “deciders” on what is “acceptable” by dumping on those who they do not consider “acceptable“; and many get to claim it’s what their God would want!
Win-win.

Oh this is a hot new take.

Higher institutions of learning are causing a problem in the United States.

The ground breaking cloud yelling of yesteryear.

Stupid woke Israelis.

Israelis rally to demand ceasefire and Netanyahu's resignation


dont they know how unpopular this genocide is in Israel? Don't they know the majority want Netanyahu gone?

No they don't. They just want more dead brown muslim people. Oh wait...

Israelis don't. I guess other cheerleaders do.

They tried "CRT" as the boogyman for a brief period, but realized that their opposition to teaching about historical racism and oppression came off a bit racist, so they folded xenophobia and anti-LBGT (especially anti-trans) into one convenient and illdefine package to create "anti-woke" and created a new "ism" from the things they opposed. (For fun, they tag it all as the consequence of their long running cultural marxism invention.)

Racial relations have been set back decades. I feel so sorry for minority children in Baltimore and Chicago and other such cities--they deserve a chance but our government insists not.

Has it? All I see is that the bigots have felt free to come out of hiding recently.

Many have covered their faces, some with Hamas masks.

You feel sorry for minority children? What parts of the Republican party platform have passed that actually helps minority children?

Pffft. Budkiss. Nothing.

I get tired of the poor being trotted out as political pawns by people on the right as if their voting record doesn't belie their beliefs.

I was responding on a "race relations" and "Baltimore and Chicago" post and you think "Hamas"? Really?

Should I be more clear? OK.

Hamas masks at protests in this country, taunting Jews in our country.

What's a "Hamas mask"? Do you mean the keffiyeh?

Funny thing about that. Its association with Arafat means that it's also associated with Fatah, the political rival of Hamas. So although they are generally associated with the Palestinian cause, in a way, they're anti-Hamas masks.

Hamas-affiliated police forces assaulted students wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh on the Al-Azhar University campus in the Gaza Strip, causing uproar among the Fatah movement.

Not relevant to my post. The thread's opening post references American racial ideology and "wokeism". It says nothing about hamas or jews, only race. Neither Jews nor Hamas are a race.
