Nights of the living woke

Jefferson bites the dust

Ed Driscoll passes along Daniel Greenfield’s take on the hypocrisy and ignorance of the current crop of college infants

“The ‘woke’ mobs are toppling statues of Washington and Jefferson, and then taking videos of their exploits with phones whose components are produced by slave labor, before binging on snacks produced by child labor, while fiercely denouncing 18th century slavery in the 21st century. That’s the hypocrisy of the 2021 Project. The ‘woke’ scrutinize 18thcentury slavery while paying little attention to 21st century slavery. If they want to understand slavery, they don’t need to waste their time with the revisionist history of the 1619 Project, or the ravings of critical race theory, when all they have to do is check their pockets. Literally.”
