Vivek Ramaswamy, author of the 2021 bestselling book, “Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam,” and its sequel, “Nation of Victims,” said the country is suffering from a national identity crisis that has left a void for victimhood to fill and that national policies that have tried to address grievances are the true cause of systemic racism.

Affirmative action “is the single greatest form of institutionalized racism in the United States today, anti-white, anti-Asian racism, but which then creates a backlash wave of new anti-black racism that we otherwise would not have had, but for the grievance that affirmative action creates amongst the people who were penalized by it,” Ramaswamy said during a recent interview with Epoch TV American Thought Leaders program. “The affirmative action is the systemic racism that is still here in America today, and I’m sorry to say it, will then create the new kind of racist, anti-black racism that we had spent so many decades moving on from.”
