Podcasts about woke civil rights law

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to Cremieux, a Twitter anon who is regularly retweeted by the likes of Paul Graham, Noah Smith and Elon Musk. A data scientist and statistician, Cremieux specializes in visualizations and analyses that cut to the heart of social and cultural dynamics, from economics to behavior genetics. Cremieux and Razib first discuss the polls and demographic results of the 2024 election, in which Donald Trump seems to have made broad-based gains across all demographics. They also discuss the mirage of the “emerging Democratic majority,” and the possibility that Latinos and Asians shifted so much in the last four years that the racial depolarization predicted by analysts like David Shor since 2012 has finally come to pass. Cremieux also talks about the likely policy outcomes implied by Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk's slated heavy involvement in the next Trump administration, from the exit of Lina Khan to the reversal of numerous Biden executive orders in areas like employment and civil rights. Cremieux argues that there will be a massive house-cleaning in the civil service. Cremieux has talked to Ramaswamy's people; if Ramaswamy gets a role like chief of staff, they plan to operationalize insights from Richard Hanania's book, The Origins of Woke: Civil Rights Law, Corporate America, and the Triumph of Identity Politics.

In this episode, Razib talks to Wilfred Reilly, political scientist, author and fearless cultural commentator. Reilly holds a Ph.D. in political science from Southern Illinois and a J.D. from the University of Illinois. Raised in a working-class neighborhood on Chicago's South Side, he discusses his ten-year diversion from academia, including his stints as a canvasser for the gay rights group the Human Rights Campaign and a corporate salesperson. A prolific public intellectual, Reilly is the author of Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me,  Taboo: 10 Facts [You Can't Talk About] and Hate Crime Hoax: How the Left Is Selling a Fake Race War. Razib asks what it means to be a “black conservative,” and Reilly responds that the term brackets all black intellectuals who dissent from the progressive orthodoxy, ranging from rock-ribbed right-wingers like Thomas Sowell to moderate liberals like John McWhorter. They also discuss the excesses of Civil Rights legislation and Richard Hanania's thesis in The Origins of Woke: Civil Rights Law, Corporate America, and the Triumph of Identity Politics that the legal system is geared toward racial progressivism. Reilly believes that wokeness cannot be rolled back until that institutional and legal framework driving for radicalism is neutered. Segueing into the domain of political science, Razib and Reilly discuss the difference between avowed preferences and revealed preferences around issues like abortion and pornography. Both agree ordinary Americans strongly disagree with ideologues who hold extreme policies. Reilly also points out the strangeness that many of the most violent and visible activists during the BLM protests were white, and he holds these are the people who are buying books by radical activist professors like Ibram Kendi, who meanwhile has little real influence among black academics. They also discuss diversity within the black American community, including Laurence Otis Graham's exploration of socioeconomic status in Our Kind of People: Inside America's Black Upper Class. Reilly talks about his more upper-class mother's attempt to inculcate elitism within him, and its failure to stick. Then Razib moots the question of the differences between “American Descendents of Slaves” (ADoS), Africans and Caribbeans, and the fact that Harvard refuses to survey its black students by sub-demographic. Finally, Reilly expounds at length on his “anti-doomer” views, arguing that economic, social and environmental catastrophism is almost always wrong, as well a providing a hearty defense of the cultural richness and economic dynamism of the Midwest.

Yesterday, Razib discussed Richard Hanania's The Origins of Woke: Civil Rights Law, Corporate America, and the Triumph of Identity Politics with the author. Today, Unsupervised Learning hosts a wide-ranging discussion with Christopher Rufo on his book, America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything. While Hanania's focus is law and politics, Rufo looks at intellectual history and culture. If you follow his prolific output on social media or in City Journal, you know Rufo is an indefatigable culture warrior, but in America's Cultural Revolution he outlines in a book-length narrative the ideas and people he believes have driven the “Great Awokening” of the 2010's and 2020's. Though Razib and Rufo first discuss his past life as a filmmaker, and in particular, Diamonds in the Dunes, a 2014 documentary about a baseball team in Xinjiang, most of the conversation revolves around the historical figures of the mid-to late-20th century that set the stage for the rise of woke culture and critical race theory. They begin with the elder statesmen of 1960's radicalism, Frankfurt School critical theorist Herbert Marcuse. The exposition of Marcuse's life is Rufo's entrée into a discussion about “Cultural Marxism” that has defined much of his public profile over the last few years. Rufo elucidates the connection between radical academics and violent activists in the streets in the late 1960's, and how it connects to protests in the 2010's. He also traces the genealogy of many modern institutions back to 1960's radicalism, including Marcuse's personal connection to the field of “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” (DEI) through his wife, who pioneered its practices and terminology. Razib and Rufo also discuss the checkered life of one of Marcuse's star students, Professor Angela Davis, whose involvement in violent terrorism in the 1960's is curiously ignored by her academic supporters. Skipping much closer to the present, Rufo talks about political and social radicalism he witnessed in 2020 in Seattle and the events later in Portland, as the Pacific Northwest came to embrace “America's Cultural Revolution.” Finally, Razib asks Rufo for his take on the state of contemporary politics, and the path forward. Though the vast majority of America's Cultural Revolution focuses on the past, Rufo has embraced an active role in current politics, especially the conflict over New College in Florida. Shifting from a Left-Right frame, Rufo reflects on tensions within the ostensibly anti-woke Right, and the future of the American republic and its critics both from on the far Left and far Right.

Harness the power of genetics to keep your family safe, with Orchid. Check them out at orchidhealth.com. In September 2023, Harper Collins published Richard Hanania's The Origins of Woke: Civil Rights Law, Corporate America, and the Triumph of Identity Politics, two months after Christopher Rufo's America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything. Both these books tackle the same issue: the US's Leftist cultural direction, especially since 2015, and what Matthew Yglesias termed the “Great Awokening” in 2019. Razib recently interviewed both authors, and today we release the first of two conversations over consecutive days so listeners can reflect on Hanania and Rufo's divergent perspectives on one of the major themes of American political culture in the 2020's. First, Razib talks to Hanania, who holds a J.D. from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. from UCLA, about The Origins of Woke. Befitting his legal education, much of the book delves into the knock-on consequences of 1960's legislation, particularly the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Hanania articulates the view that “wokeness” can be defined by the idea that any variation in outcome between groups must be ascribed to discrimination and that entertainment of alternative views (for example, that groups have different aptitudes and/or preferences for specific fields) is tantamount to racism. The Origins of Woke touches upon sex discrimination and the emergence of queer identity politics, but Hanania believes that the central through-line between the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the modern woke era is the black-white racial division in the US, and the fight for racial equality before the law morphing into a campaign for total equity of outcome in all domains of life. Synthesizing his background in law and political science, Hanania argues that a combination of vague initial legal frameworks and an activist bureaucracy have enabled the sharp detour from the original drafters' intent with civil rights legislation instead into a total revolution of norms. He also points out that much of the framework for the woke revolution was put in place under the conservative Nixon administration, a pattern observed by Pat Buchanan in his 1975 book Conservative votes, liberal victories: Why the right has failed. One of the major contentions of The Origins of Woke is that excessive focus on Andrew Breitbart's assertion that “politics is downstream” of culture has led the Right down the wrong path to de facto defeatism. Hanania discusses how the “marketplace of ideas” model ultimately fails given the Left's capture of all institutions that would arbitrate issues around the culture war. Rather, Hanania clearly believes that the path to the rollback of woke norms across the broader culture is through politics, and in particular the Republican party fully embracing its role as a reactive force against the American legal regime that was seeded in the 1960's.

Author Richard Hanania joins Savage to discuss his new book, The Origins of Woke: Civil Rights Law, Corporate America, and the Triumph of Identity Politics. In a nation nearly evenly split between conservatives and liberals, the left dominates nearly all major institutions, including universities, the government, and corporate America. Hanania argues that this is as much a legal requirement as it is an issue of one side triumphing in the marketplace of ideas. Culture has its own independent force, but the state has, since the 1960s, been putting its thumb on the scale. In their conversation, Savage and Hanania dive into the roots of "wokeness" and its deep-seated origins in American society and government; Savage's experience with affirmative action; the abuse of diversity programs; why universities have worked to make men and women more similar; how math has become 'racist'; how the federal government destroyed education. Is there a way to save America from this madness? How do we deconstruct this cultural and political assault on our nation? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this podcast with author Richard Hanania we talked about his brand new book, The Origins of Woke: Civil Rights Law, Corporate America, and the Triumph of Identity Politics. In a nation nearly evenly split between conservatives and liberals, the left dominates nearly all major institutions, including universities, the government, and corporate America. Hanania argues that this is as much a legal requirement as it is an issue of one side triumphing in the marketplace of ideas. Culture has its own independent force, but the state has, since the 1960s, been putting its thumb on the scale. In the conversation, we dive into the roots of the concept of "wokeness" and its deep-seated origins in American society, dating back to government mandates and regulations from the late 1960s and early 1970s.  This discussion challenges the common perception that wokeness is a recent phenomenon, shedding light on its historical underpinnings and how it has influenced institutions and corporations. Richard also explores the evolving role of social media in shaping acceptable narratives and content censorship, examining how these platforms, once champions of free expression, have grappled with increased pressures and changing content policies.  https://twitter.com/RichardHanania ----------------------------------------------------- DONATE and help the channel grow - https://donorbox.org/help-me-buy-stuff  PRE-ORDER MY GAMESTOP BOOK - https://wen-moon.com  Buy Brexit: The Establishment Civil War - https://amzn.to/39XXVjq    ----------------------------------------------------- You can listen to the show on Spotify, Apple, and all major platforms - https://chatterpodcast.podbean.com/  Watch Us On Odysee.com - https://odysee.com/$/invite/@TheJist:4    Join My Mailing List - https://www.getrevue.co/profile/thejist  Follow Me On Twitter - https://twitter.com/Give_Me_TheJist  ----------------------------------------------------- Website - https://thejist.co.uk/    Music from Just Jim – https://soundcloud.com/justjim  Extract Labs CBD - https://extract-labs.pxf.io/n10JMa Canva Premium Graphics - https://partner.canva.com/b3A9X6 

I interview Richard Hanania on his recently released Best-Selling book "Origins of Woke: Civil Rights Law, Corporate America and the Triumph of Identity Politics". This book has been lauded by notable figures such Elon Musk, and criticized by the mainstream press with The Atlantic going so far as to call it "a Trojan Horse for White Supremacy". It appears to be an explanation for the Woke phenomenon focused around Civil Rights Law and its overreach. Listen and decide for yourself.

Even among politics and media junkies, few people had heard the name Richard Hanania before 2020. But then, as the pandemic intensified online tribalism, the political scientist emerged with a provocative analysis that carried the headline “Why Is Everything Liberal?” The piece, which explores why almost every major institution in the U.S. leans left, did the rounds on Twitter, announcing Richard's arrival as a distinctive new voice in American politics discourse. Soon enough, he followed it up with a series of other pithily headlined posts that demonstrated a streak of contrarianism that variously managed to win fans and challenge readers from across the political spectrum: “Liberals Read, Conservatives Watch TV,” “Why Do I Hate Pronouns More Than Genocide?”, and “Conservatives Win All the Time,” to name a few.Richard, who has a law degree from Columbia and a political science degree from UCLA, doesn't hesitate to describe himself as anti-woke. He traces wokeness's legal underpinnings to civil rights law, which he believes has undermined the integrity of public institutions. He expands on this thesis in his upcoming book, The Origins of Woke: Civil Rights Law, Corporate America, and the Trump of Identity Politics. Coming during a time of intense social justice activism, these views have won Richard strong support among conservative readers, but he's not afraid of pissing off those same people. In recent times, for instance, he has published essays that argue in favor of diversity and praise the quality and honesty of mainstream media. In this conversation, we examine contrarianism, conservatism, “enlightened centrism” (in praise of intellectuals whose views don't always easily line up with “left” or “right”), and the future of the culture wars—the perfect fodder for a man who is staking out a reputation as one of the boldest voices in our pugilistic political discourse. https://www.richardhanania.com/Richard's recommended reads:https://astralcodexten.substack.com/ https://www.slowboring.com/ https://trevorklee.substack.com/ https://www.emilkirkegaard.com/ https://cremieux.substack.com/Show notesSubscribe to Richard Hanania's Newsletter on SubstackFind Richard on TwitterRichard's post mentioned: “Why the Media Is Honest and Good,” “Why Is Everything Liberal?”[03:29] Getting started on Substack[05:40] Growing up[11:07] Working in academia[12:01] Writing about wokeness[16:26] Richard's audience[21:33] The main goal of work[25:40] On Trump and today's politics[29:37] Mainstream media[36:35] Being a “bit of a troll”[39:53] Politics and trans issuesThe Active Voice is a podcast hosted by Hamish McKenzie, featuring weekly conversations with writers about how the internet is affecting the way they live and write.
