You are confusing the activist groups who utilize a slogan with the meaning of the slogan itself. Just because they are “too woke” does not mean anti-racism is bad or anything. Just because BLM had some faults doesn’t mean Black lives don’t matter. Etc.

Being against racism is inherently a good thing if one considers racism inherently bad. Although not able to click the link, I am fairly sure that the side effects of anti-racism as discussed and seen within the video is that they are not being solely anti-racist, not that they are being any anti-racist.

And yes, I believe using racism to counteract racism is not at all anti-racism.

Then again, when everything is muddled with money influences, they get pretty dark very quick.

I am sorry, I am not an expert at understanding things. If you don't know how to clarify, notify me and elaborate about the condition. If you can, do it.

Sounds like a personal problem. Your problem. Not mine. Lear how to read comprehensively. It helps.

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.

anti-racism is bad
Anti racism is bad. 

Anti anything is almost always bad as a general rule. It shows they don't want racial equality or anything like that, otherwise they would be pro racial equality. There is a subtlety between pro racial equality and anti racist that may not be able to be picked up on by a non native English speaker. If you can pick up on the subtlety between the two concepts than I really applaud your language learning skills, but anti-racist and pro racial equality are two different things just as anti-war and pro-peace don't mean the same thing.

Mother Theresa was once asked to join an anti-war rally she told the protestors if they held a peace rally instead, she would gladly come. These subtleties that the language barely capture exist and are important to differentiate between the concepts

So you are not trying then. Good day sir. Of course me being confused gives you no feelings, you are free to not clarify, it is just that if I am still confused and making criticism, you keep responding with ambiguity would no longer be a valid response for me because you are the one to refuse to clarify in the first place.

Whiner. 

Prez-Hilton just explained it (the obvious) to you. 

Unable to click the link? It works just fine. How/why are you unable to click the link? If you needed assistance getting to the source material, the very basis for this discussion, you should have asked. 

Jumping into a new discussion without even a basic understanding of the source material results in exactly  what I said: Unsubstantiated subjective emotively driven asinine opinion.

If you need common sense explained to you, well, as I said, that’s a personal problem. Your problem. Not mine.

You are on a site where people actively attempt to prove truisms wrong.

No one tries to prove common sense wrong. Ffs. It’s rooted in endless time tested objective facts.

Then prove that whatever you have been saying is really common sense. If you say "it is common sense to know that it is common sense" then it is nothing short of circular reasoning.

How?

Are you daft?

Clearly you are. 

Cause at no time did I use the exact quotes statement you put forth:

“ If you say "it is common sense to know that it is common sense"
