"No, wokeness is real. And it can get us killed -- when, for example, off the top of my head, a murderous psychopath is on the run and the media refuse to tell us what he looks like."
"Weird that the media didn't cite Ketanji Brown Jackson's height and weight as her most important characteristics. When it came to THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN ON THE SUPREME COURT, it was all about her race. But after a guy shot up a New York City subway car this week, the last thing the media wanted to tell us was his race.
"For more than three hours after the attack, we got urgent alerts: Suspect at large! Police request public's help! Be on the alert for a male, about 5'8", 160 lbs."
"In this particular case, the media's rule of never telling us the suspect's race (unless he's white) was more deranged than usual. This wasn't a carjacking. It wasn't a shooting at a block party. It wasn't an attack on an Asian or Jew. This crime had all the earmarks of a terror attack -- smoke bombs, fireworks, a gas mask, and about a dozen people shot while trapped in a subway car.
"The police desperately needed the public's help, but most people were looking for a Middle Easterner.
"We're always told "wokeness" is just about being polite and that those who ridicule it are trying to "discredit the claims of traditionally marginalized groups for respect." (Thomas Zimmer, history professor, Georgetown University) Or they are engaging in "white backlash." (Seth Cotlar, history professor, Willamette University). . .
