“Not too long ago, the most prominent force driving an ugly racial identity politics was the ‘progressive’ or ‘woke’ left. The main opposition to this movement tended to take a classically liberal form. It was driven by those concerned about the left’s overzealous celebration of minority groups to the exclusion of others, and their willingness to crush equality and free speech in pursuit of supposedly progressive goals. But over the past year or so it has become increasingly clear that a vocal minority opposes wokeness for very different reasons. They object not to identity politics or to the suppression of free speech, but to what they see as a woke attack on white identity.” (12/22/24)
