Anti-racism = Woke Racism, which harms blacks and other POC
As an anti-idealist, I believe that the concept of an ideal world is fundamentally flawed. Idealism holds that reality is essentially mental or spiritual in nature, which denies the inherent materiality of the world. This perspective fails to recognize the limitations of our knowledge and denies the inherent complexity of the world. The idea of an ideal world is not a functional one, as it is impossible to achieve and will ultimately lead to chaos.
Similarly, the concept of woke racism is connected to idealism. It assumes that there is an ideal state of being where racial inequality no longer exists, and that this state can be achieved through the implementation of certain policies and practices. This perspective fails to recognize the inherent complexity of the world and the limitations of our knowledge. Woke racism is a form of idealism that denies the inherent materiality of the world and seeks to impose a particular vision of society on others.
The problem with woke racism is that it harms blacks and other POC. This perspective assumes that these groups are inherently oppressed and in need of protection, which denies their agency and individuality. It also creates a culture of victimhood and perpetuates a cycle of resentment and division. Instead of focusing on individual agency and empowerment, woke racism seeks to impose a particular vision of society on others, which can lead to chaos and conflict.
Furthermore, the idea of an ideal world creates a false sense of security that can lead to complacency and stagnation. It assumes that once we achieve an ideal state of being, we no longer need to work towards progress or change. This perspective denies the inherent dynamism of the world and ignores the fact that change is a constant and necessary part of life. When we seek an ideal world, we deny ourselves the opportunity to learn and grow from our experiences, and we limit our potential for progress and improvement.
As an anti-idealist, I believe that the key to addressing racial inequality is to recognize the inherent materiality of the world and the limitations of our knowledge. We must acknowledge the complexity of the world and work towards creating a more just and equitable society through individual agency and empowerment. This means recognizing the agency and individuality of all people, regardless of their race or ethnicity, and working towards creating a society that values diversity and individuality.
In conclusion, the concept of an ideal world is fundamentally flawed, and the idea of woke racism is connected to this flawed perspective. Both deny the inherent materiality of the world and ignore the complexity and limitations of our knowledge. Instead, we must recognize the inherent dynamism of the world and work towards progress and change through individual agency and empowerment. By acknowledging the agency and individuality of all people, we can create a society that values diversity and works towards creating a more just and equitable world for all.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people
From an anti-idealist perspective, the child who was shot to death was killed by the gun. The gun is a physical object that has a certain level of power and potential danger attached to it. It is the responsibility of adults to ensure that guns are kept out of the hands of children, as they lack the knowledge and experience to understand the potential consequences of their actions. While it is true that the child who found the gun made the decision to play with it, it was ultimately the presence of the gun that led to the tragic outcome. It is important to acknowledge the role of human agency in this situation, but it is equally important to recognize the inherent dangers of certain objects and take steps to minimize the risks associated with them.
