The Religion Of Antiracism | The American Conservative

These cultists the Elect, to use McWhorter s preferred term are making normal human relations, especially across racial lines, difficult to impossible. You never know if the person with whom you are talking is one of the Elect, and if something perfectly innocent you have said will earn you denunciation or worse. In normal social discourse, if one inadvertently offends another, one apologizes and asks for forgiveness, and the aggrieved party, if they believe the repentance is genuine, grants it. This is what makes social life possible. As McWhorter avers, though, among the Elect, mercy is not practiced. Only the fiercest condemnation. And we know all too well that this condemnation can easily include serious, career-ending penalties. Why risk that to make a new friend, especially given how fast the spread of what is considered to be bigoted is changing? You have to walk on eggshells, never knowing when one of them will turn out to be a landmine.

The dogma is inhuman, and it s tearing us apart as a nation. I am so grateful for courageous men like Prof. McWhorter. Ten thousand white conservatives speaking out against this stuff won t do remotely as much good as a single center-left black intellectual doing so. He is fighting for all of us who value free speech, fairness, and real intellectual debate and inquiry.
