The Wokeness Charade that Stifles Thought and Art

<p>In a CNN&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/18/opinions/bradley-cooper-leonard-bernstein-maestro-perry/index.html/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">opinion piece</a>, for instance, David M. Perry explains why he cares about Cooper&rsquo;s fake nose. It&rsquo;s not that Perry thinks he has the moral high ground in worrying that although Cooper himself isn&rsquo;t anti-Jewish, his use of that prosthesis feeds into the stereotype of the hook-nosed Jew. No, Perry&rsquo;s point is just that we&rsquo;re all entitled to our feelings.</p> <p>As he says, &ldquo;Why can&rsquo;t we acknowledge that each of us might have a reaction to Cooper&rsquo;s prosthesis &mdash; or to any act of representation of people with whom we personally identify &mdash; and that&rsquo;s ok? It&rsquo;s okay to be offended, to feel a certain way. It&rsquo;s okay if someone else feels differently.&rdquo;</p> <p><a href="https://aninjusticemag.com/the-wokeness-charade-that-stifles-thought-and-art-410be81d76d0"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
