Let's Go, Get Woke, America!

Holy sh*t!

This thread really is nothing more than sloganeering. You want to talk about white privilege, well here it is on full display. Polls don’t show majority support for the abolition movement but that’s not what the topic of the thread is. The topic is wokeness. And this movement comes from wokeness. Now I don’t agree with the movement but I’ve read about it and understand intellectually where they are coming from. Yet here you are calling the movement propaganda. Again, one is free to disagree with it but total white privilege to dismiss it as propaganda. That’s the opposite of woke.

Oh, hey, classic right wing switcheroo. Make a false accusation that becoming woke is both white privilege and propaganda. And then claim I said so.

SMH

The only thing missing is me saying any of what you're claiming I said.

Naturally you have no quote of me saying it.

Nothing but more straw man building in your version of what I said.

But your version of what somebody else said is your version, not what they said.

I'll gladly take credit for what I said, but I am under no obligation to own up to your version of it.

And, btw, I am disappointed in your post. Not challenging at all. Such elementary failed debate tactics.
 
"Woke" is a conceptual abomination.

I'm going to wish PoliTalker a sincere Happy New Year here.
I can do that becaue he/she/it has me on "ignore" and will never see it.

I'm not following what you are talking about. This isn't even a debate, it's a discussion. I'm not trying to attack you personally but I am saying all you're saying is little more than sloganeering and your reaction to the movement to abolish the police shows me that.

Sloganeering is a part of politics. And I'm glad to know that we agree the Democrats should use this slogan in 22:

Please Baby Jesus let that be the Democrats slogan in '22. Talk about a landslide...

We don't agree on much, so it's good to know we both think this would be a good slogan.

You think there is this wide perception that woke is a bad thing. I think the dictionary definition prevails, so it's a good thing. The only reason conservatives want to try to make it a bad thing is because the left is so woke. But simply saying something is bad doesn't make it so.

Why do you think it's a bad thing for people to be more aware of racial relations in America?

If we want to find solutions, surely we want to learn more information? Become more aware?

Kinda makes you wonder how someone can talk about diversity and inclusion when their ignore list is longer than the LA phone directory...

(I put no one on ignore.)

I don't mean to a dick here but this thread, and your post above, in 2022 may be the most Boomer thing ever. It's like you were in a cave for the past six years and just got out and learned this new word.

And what's worse is you've made it abundantly clear that what you actually care about is political power (for the Democrats), not actual wokeness. Your reaction to the abolish/reimagine police movement by calling it right wing propaganda is a perfect example of that, professing wokeness when in reality only caring about electoral prospects.

False accusation. Quote where I called it that.

I'll be more to the point: You want to divide the nation by race when we all need to come together as Americans.

We are all equal in the eyes of The Lord. Unfortunately, due to Affirmative Action and "hate crime" laws we are no longer equal under American law, and that's bad.

We were there from the late 60s until Obama, I think we can do it again!

Hello cawacko,



I'll do as I please.

You wanna back up your claim, post a quote.

I'm off to other threads.

Yes Poli, you are free to do as you please. I would never suggest otherwise. You asked a question about where you said something and I gave you the answer (what post number).

My guess is you're responding this way because you reread what you wrote but only you can answer that.

I don't get what's wrong with being woke.

Merriam-Webster:

" woke adjective
chiefly US slang
: aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)"

Sounds like a good thing!

Surely, being well informed is preferable to being poorly informed...

Any dispute on that? Seems to be pretty straightforward. Knowledge is power. So what's the deal?

It is logical that a society comprised mostly of individuals who are aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues, especially issues of racial and social justice, would be a great society to be a part of. That would result in low crime and minimized hatred, a society where people respected one another and got along fine, happy and content, pleased to be a part of something bigger than them, something really great.

Most people already think America is a great country.

Wanna make America greater?

A woke America would be a greater America.

Let's Go, Get Woke, America!
