“Woke”

Flash said:
Only some examples. Some of those books in question are about sexuality, homosexuality, and many other subjects unrelated to race. Everything is not about race to most Americans. They can have opinions about political issues which disagree with those by black intellectuals without being racist.

Bigotry is not racism, such books are bigotry.

I'm likely just repeating myself but I'll say it again. By the dictionary definition alone, we should all be woke. Based on how woke ideology is often used in the real world the pushback we see is not only understandable but justifiable.

Dictionaries do not define any word.
No, there is no reason to be bigoted and racist.

Not talking about race, talking about "political differences".




Everything is not about race to many white Americans, and that's because white has been the default, the point of view perspective since the founding of the country.

What has people like you upset is that for 230 years, you and your fellow idiots controlled the public space and public discourse and allowed points of view to only come through if it was sanitized.

But for the last 10-20 years, you haven't been able to control the space, so the voices you previously ignored can't be ignored anymore.

This is why Musk bought Twitter...he wants to control the discourse on the app because he feels like he doesn't have that control.

You are talking about racism and bigotry.

Also, nobody wants to post any personal stuff with you because you either 1) claim they are lying

I have a problem with people who think that they can lie or exaggerate personal details about themselves in order to lend credibility to an argument that has none.

I only call them liars after they refuse to verify their personal claims.

2) use it against them later in a very negative and insulting manner

3) forget what was said and lie about it later.

I didn't forget anything, you're just not very articulate, and every time I try to get you to be more articulate, you just get defensive.

Like, what kind of "prejudice and discrimination" does your "wife" face that I'll "never know"?

I've asked that question no less than 6 times and you've avoided answering it each time...so the only conclusion I can reach is that you're lying.

You are the one with the big mouth who brought up your wife, I DIDN'T. You invoked your wife in your attempt to discredit institutional racism because admitting it exists would be admitting that you didn't really achieve the life you currently have through hard work.

I think what is most important to the Flash persona is that people perceive you as someone who does the work to be informed, not that you necessarily do that work yourself.

1 does not constitute a racist.

No Jarod, that's not accurate. This board is dominated by old(er) white people. A lot of people here never even heard this term until a couple of years ago. That's why it's just associated here with how someone votes rather than how things are implemented in the real world. Like I said, read John McWhorters book Woke Racism. He's a black, liberal atheist and he speaks how wokeness has become a religion, a cult. He offers the best insight into why we see the pushback we do.

I disagree with McWhorters.

Trump made thousands of such remarks.

I explained it clearly. Any personal information you use in an abusive manner. Just like you lied or forgot I never said my wife was Asian, but you claimed I said that. Not saying she was Asian is not a lack of articulation but making stuff up on your part.

Sometimes people use personal examples because if they just make a general statement it can always be questioned. If I use an example that actually happened to me it can illustrate points you might otherwise claim can't happen.

When discussing voter registration I pointed out a person can just register and claim U. S. citizenship and the state can't generally question that. I mentioned two Chinese (these were Asian) sisters who registered to vote but told me they were not citizens. You accused me of lying, but I could have just as well said people can register without proving their citizenship and you could have also said it is not true.

Nobody wants to debate on the internet and be insulted. You have insulted my age (no better than race), said I was a poor professor, and lied about things. As a result, people are reluctant to engage in real debate with you because of your anger.
