Author of the new book, “Origins of Woke,” Richard Hanania says Civil Rights has morphed into what we now call “Wokeness.” We’ve been forced to classify ourselves by race using categories that didn’t exist before the government started using them, terms that didn’t even exist in the English language. Marxists and Communists and radical feminists can force Wokeness and benefit financially. He says Woke media has operated like the mafia and corporations have had to pay the protection money. Hanania advises the next Republican Administration to repeal affirmative action and government contracting on the first day. It’s easier for the Left to continue programs that exist than it is to bring them back once they’re undone. Hanania says even though the federal government and media is undeniably slanted toward Democrats, public opinion is not with them on Woke issues.
