Academia, the legacy media, and the entertainment industry’s embrace of Woke ideology amounts to another form of warfare by elites on the American working class, a media critic has told CNN. Woke ideology, which prioritizes the embrace of Critical Race Theory, masks the most powerful forces in society’s exclusion of and contempt for those in much more precarious financial positions, she said.
This results in “affluent white liberals using the real pain of black Americans in order to withdraw from the common good and abandon the working class of all races,” said Batya Ungar-Sargon, the deputy opinion editor of Newsweek and author of the book “Bad News: How Woke Media is Undermining Democracy.”
“A lot of this conversation around Wokeness is actually about class,” she said.
