This comment is the perfect storm of all things pernicious with a lot of modern discourse I see surrounding wokeism. Let's see;
* liberal interpretation of the word "voluntary,"
* presenting Nikole Hanna Jones as a martyr for social justice when in reality she is no such thing,
* no mention of the political allegiance or ideology of the people behind those awards as if they were objective and neutral third-parties (they're not),
* no elaboration on the 1619 Project and its MANY faults, chief among them being its status of more of a work of fan-fiction than historical reality as attested by the author herself,
* exaggerating the degree to which American universities are neutral; they are not, they are fully captured institutions of the left for better or worse (note that I am neutral on this point)
* mandatory mention of Donald Trump for maximum effect,
* all of the above presented with an aggravating demeanor of a petulant apologist for bad politics, all while pretending to be some sort of centrist(?) (or at least that is how I interpreted your attitude. I could be wrong. Let me know.)
If you do consider yourself some kind of leftist or at least an advocate for social justice, can you stop with this manner of addressing your purported adversaries online? I can't think of anything more frustrating than crypto-wokeists. It fans the flames of animosity and strengthens the spirit of reaction. You're not fooling anyone with this plausibly-deniable posturing.
Of course I could be wrong myself and read into your comment more than you intended :).
