Recommendation
Neoconservative British author Douglas Murray argues against claims of systemic racism and other alleged Western sins. He describes critical race theory as a destructive manifestation of “woke,” anti-West sentiment because, he says, it makes those it criticizes – whites – hate themselves. Thus, he asserts, opposing enduring racism abets more bias, not less. Generally, Murray draws mixed reviews. Tim Stanley of The Daily Telegraph called him, “a superbly perceptive guide through the age of the social justice warrior,” while William Davies of The Guardian criticized Murray’s book The Madness of Crowds as “the bizarre fantasies of a rightwing provocateur.” While he will aggravate those who disagree, as a proud rightist talking to a like-minded audience, Murray articulates the intensity of right-wing voices in today’s culture wars.
