John McWhorter is in the process of writing a book about Critical Race Theory called “The Elect” in which he purposes:
1. to argue that this new ideology is actually a religion in all but name;
2. to argue that to understand it as a religion is to see coherence in what may seem like a welter of “crazy” or overblown behaviors;
3. to explore why this religion is so attractive to so many people;
4. to show that this religion is actively harmful to black people despite being intended as unprecedentedly “antiracist”;
5. to show that a pragmatic, effective, liberal and even Democratic-friendly agenda for rescuing black America need not be founded on the tenets of this new religion;
6. to suggest ways to lessen the grip of this new religion on our public culture.
