Woke Hypocrites In The USA: Racism Edition

Woke culture has taken over the world, and not in a good way. What once was supposed to be a progressive movement that stood up against social injustice and discrimination has gone too far left and is making us regress as a society.

One major aspect of wokeness, which I will be focusing on today, is the fight against racism; more specifically in the USA, against the discrimination of black people, also known as African-Americans. The US has definitely gone a long way from their days of slavery of the Africans, but in recent years, a lot of people have started victimising this community again. In this day and age, there are no rights that white people have that black people don’t, yet people still cry racism. They demand reparations for the slavery that people's African ancestors were put through by their white masters, even though the African-Americans of this generation weren't enslaved by the whites of this generation so nobody owes anyone anything. Why can't they just let go of the past and stop focusing on the mistakes made then, instead of focusing on what is happening now? They also say that black people have a much higher rate of getting arrested by white people, but guess who commits more crimes? African-Americans in black neighbourhoods!

It isn't just African-Americans facing “racism” though; apparently everyone except Caucasians are collectively victims of racism, but somehow a lot of them think that only white people can be racist to other races, and other races can't be racist towards white people. Which is very wrong, by the way. There is this term called “white supremacy” which is the belief that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial and ethnic groups. A lot of conservatives are accused of being white supremacists when they are simply just pointing out cases of people being racist towards Caucasians. There is also apparently “white privilege”, when like I said before, there is nothing white people can do that black people can’t.

Because people think that people of colour in the US are so oppressed, many industries and colleges have a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion requirement where they have to hire a certain number of people of colour and/or women. Does this not seem even more racist? Racism is judging a person by the colour of their skin, and these people are hiring people and accepting people based on the colour of their skin! The fact that they think that people of colour are incapable of being hired based on their skills is literally racism and they think it is going to prevent racism. Some people may argue that there are more white people in the workplace and in schools and that they need more representation, but first and foremost, the US is mostly made up of Caucasians. Therefore, that percentage will typically be true in workplaces and schools because there are simply just more white people to hire. Not only is this frankly embarrassing for the people who are DEI hires, unless they are opportunistic and don’t mind if they got in because of their race so long as they got in, it is unfair to the other non-POCs who worked hard but failed to be chosen just because they have less melanin in their skin. It is now better to be a person of colour than it is to be white, because white privilege is not a thing like the left say it is: POC privilege is a thing now. This is reverse racism, folks, spread by the people of love and tolerance themselves.

I’m not excusing any form of racism, of course, just that most cases are simply because of an individual, not an entire race. Generalising situations is something that people should not do, because in the case of racism, it leads to an entire race being marginalised, which in this case, are the Caucasians. I’m also not accusing all black Americans or people of colour, just the people, who could be of any race, who support reverse racism.

All in all, these are the woke hypocrites of the USA, who accuse white people of being racist because they are white while being racist themselves, by judging white people based on their skin colour, calling them racists. Racist much?
