Saving the Muggles
2nd August 2022
When I first read about it, I admit I admired the entrepreneurial spirit (if maybe not the ethics) of those who provide “antiracist” training dinners for wealthy white women at $2,500 a head. It seems clear that this kind of activity can help spread the new religion (as it is called by John McWhorter, or the new Puritanism according to Noah Rothman). It would foster attitudes useful for electing left-wing politicians, but what exactly does it do for racism’s putative victims, particularly the urban poor?
There is something very Harry Potterish about the woke. They believe that white people can impose systemic racism merely through their thoughts. White people’s thoughts are so powerful that they can even unconsciously oppress non-white people. Non-white people are more like muggles. They have no magic and their behaviors and destiny can be directed or controlled by those who do possess magic. In essence, they have no agency and their well-being depends solely on whether the good wizards/witches can defeat the bad ones.
