It goes by many names, but I will call it, \u2018wokeism,&#8217;\u201d Ali said at the conference. The Hoover Institute Scholar likened woke ideas to white supremacy, which, she argues, \u201chas remarkable similarities\u201d with \u201crace-centered wokeism.\u201d She also argued that both \u201cwokeism\u201d and white supremacy \u201cranks human beings\u201d into hierarchies purely based on their skin color.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"9.5291262135922\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ayaan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Ayaan<\/a> at the National Conservatism Conference:<\/p>\n<p>The ideology that threatens us today is not White Supremacism, rather, Wokism.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NatCon?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NatCon<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0o9BeRVxYm\">pic.twitter.com\/0o9BeRVxYm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NatConTalk (@NatConTalk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NatConTalk\/status\/1455268975403798539?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 1, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ali mentioned that white supremacy is only found in the most fringe groups in society and that the claim \u201cwhite supremacy is the biggest domestic threat we face is nonsensical, histrionic and self-serving,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/ayaan-hirsi-ali-wokeism-white-supremacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox News<\/a>.
