I actually agree with that assessment, for the most part. While there are still valid accusations of White racism to be made, the scope and extent of it are wildly exaggerated. My point is that in a lot of cases the very people who express "anti-Wokeness" are themselves guilty of the same tactics, the same hypersensitivity, in some cases the same angry semi-hysteria in their reaction to the expressed views of others as are those they criticize.

One thing I don't understand about CRT and "Systemic Racism" and the desire to "tear down racist institutions". What do they intend to replace it with? Ben Shapiro (I think it was him) said CRT was simply Marxist Ideology and the end goal was the destruction of capitalism and the individual. Listening to some I can fully believe that is what they want but I can't believe a majority of Americans, of any race truly wants to become Venezuela.

There's a pattern to it all. Marx never did describe what a future socialism would be like. Postmoderns, in the initial stage where deconstructionists unto themselves, in this now second state activists for what no one articultes. But that's been the nature of progressivism all along, to replace the tried and true with the untried and unknown.
Alexis de Tocqueville would argue revolutions are unlikely in any democracy (republic) that propers as the West does.
Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
Most people are being manipulated. They listen to CNN and believe that if they buy into CRT and other woke garbage, then that will help create more equality, fairness, and equity. They will stand against hate and racism. They don't realize what absolute poison CRT really is, or what it will do/is doing to the country. They hear "tear down the system", and they are told to "listen, don't speak", and they think maybe a new utopia can be created and that will fix the racial tensions and everything will be good.
The people who want this new Marxist revolution are either troublemakers, have nothing to lose, think that it will actually create a good thing, are angry at the system for whatever reason, or they stand to profit from it because they'll come out the other end with more money and more power. But most are just blind followers, and don't realize what is really at stake.
