An antiracist is able to expose and combat racism at any time. Antiracism reflects the woke perspective on racism: in the antiracist view, racism exists always and everywhere; racism is considered systemic.24
The goal of antiracism is a utopia of “social justice”: social justice means socialist equality of outcome between groups through collective redistribution (see Equality and Participation). Any statistical inequality in favour of certain privileged groups is regarded as proof of racism.25
To achieve this goal, activism or “praxis” is pursued on the basis of Critical Race Theory (CRT): critical consciousness is used to make racism visible and to combat systemic power structures.26
Antiracist engagement is obligatory for allies (see Solidarity). Anyone who behaves too passively is guilty of an indirect form of racism.27 There are only the binary categories racist or antiracist; from a woke perspective, a neutral category “non-racist” does not exist.28 Neutrality is regarded as passivity, and passivity as a mask for racism.
In the woke perspective, the social category “white” is particularly problematic: anything that allegedly supports the system is considered “white”. Through critical whiteness, one is meant to recognise how to behave less “white”. All white people are regarded as privileged because they (regardless of their individual situation) have better access to privileges conferred by the system.
