The Woke Movement Is Assassinating MLK All Over Again

In what is widely acknowledged as his greatest speech, King dreamed that his "Four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character," that "One day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers."

The woke mob, critical race theory, and the DEI movement have reopened a once-gaping, raw wound that had almost closed.

Its diversity, equity, and inclusion program "Condemns the United States as a system of 'white supremacy,'" and "Segregates scholarships and student programs by race," says author and filmmaker Christopher Rufo.

Encouraging "Active discrimination against the 'oppressor' class, characterized as 'male, white, heterosexual, able-bodied, and Christian'"; using psychological conditioning to address, among other issues, the killing of unarmed blacks, systemic racism and privilege, presumed to be all white; creating racially segregated counseling programs; adopting a series of DEI programs that divide "Americans along a 'matrix of oppression,' castigate Christians for their 'Christian privilege,' and offer a racially segregated scholarship that deliberately bars white students from applying."

Divisive programs have even infected the Pentagon, which has a DEI office whose chief has sown division, and a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who's said "I want to understand white rage, and I'm white, and I want to understand it."

If they're not telling white students that they are racist, should be ashamed of themselves, and indulging radical speakers who believe schools are "Spirit murdering" black children, then they're lowering standards to aid minorities, fully consistent with the soft bigotry of low expectations.

Then there are the DEI shysters such as Robin DiAngelo, a white woman who has grown fabulously wealthy making progressive rich whites feel guilty for sins they haven't committed, and telling "​​people of color" they "Need to get away from white people and have some community with each other."
