Is Wokeism Becoming a Religion? Parts 1 & 2
from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host James Patterson
Close to the top of Culture War issues is the concept of Wokeism. It's such a loaded word. And the thing is, it not only riles those on the right, but can be a pain for more progressive people as well. I admit to cringing when I hear people refer to "menstruating people" when referring to those liable to get pregnant. I find "women" is much more pleasant to the ear. James Patterson is on the right side of the political/social spectrum. But his ideas are not off the cliff. He does ask a serious questions about identity politics and the larger culture. Listen, learn, comment. Theme music "Nigal."
