Wokeness is in fact a religion

Katherine Kersten of the StarTribune explains why Woke is the new Puritanism.

What is unfolding before our eyes is a new secular religion. For all its claims of “inclusivity,” this new faith is deeply intolerant. It has roots in the American past that would likely surprise its adherents: the Puritan era of our nation’s earliest religious zealots. Progressives are now engaged in doing theology without God. “ Woke is the new Saved,” in the words of commentator John Zmirak.

Parallels abound. One of Puritan theology’s core tenets is “innate depravity” — the doctrine that humans are inherently wicked as a result of original sin. The woke faith preaches an updated version: America’s original sin is white supremacy.

George Wallace approves this message!

I posted a few days ago the question, "Why is Wokeness so white supremacist?" in which I observed,

It is amazing to me how today so many white race-justice warriors keep proclaiming wokeness stuff that simply echoes what bona fide white supremacists of the 1960s would have been proud to say.

And so today, let the parodies begin! For as the subjects of the Soviet Union found out, humor was a wonderful weapon to use to undermine the regime.


They are not wrong, for according to the National Association of Scholars, of the 173 schools it surveyed, 76 of them, or 44%, were offering black-only graduation ceremonies.

These range from small private schools to big public universities. Some notable ones include Harvard, UC San Diego, UC Irvine, Arizona State University, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and Yale. 

 I made this meme some time ago as a parody. Now when considering the latest "Woke" demand, it is simply the truth.

This is the American Left today, folks.
