To be called Woke!

I think a lot of people on the left who resent the use of the term "woke" by the "anti-woke", don't really understand the way it's meant by them.

What "woke" means to people who are against wokeism, is pandering to groups of people who've succeded in establishing themselves as victims of the segments of society they are not part of.

All women must be treated as innocent victims of men.

All black people must be treated as innocent victims of whites.

All alphabet people must be treated as innocent victims of heterosexuals.

Any non-white, non-heterosexual, non-male must be treated as innocent victims of white males.

Yes, there are and have been cases where those situations are true. But there are many cases where the people in these groups victimize each other as well.

It's the attempt by certain groups to oversimplify everything and vilify others for all their problems that is what the word woke is used to describe.

I use it myself.

I'm not sorry for it, I'm not ashamed of it and I don't believe it's inaccurate.

To me it's just a replacement word for PC or political correctness.

No one group is the only bad guys or society's convenient dumping ground for everyone else's unhappiness with their lives.

Silly, nobody believes those things, even us woke folks.
 
To pretend that others are asleep simply because they disagree is arrogance. According to your own Church Pride is one of the seven deadly sins, Mr. Popish McWhitesoxfan.
 
Anyway, According to fact checks... this is not true. Just another attempt to spread false news. At this point, any thread that leftists post that is "reporting" something that someone else says should be called "Nooz", because there isn't enough news in such posts to have it spelled correctly without running into lawsuits.

Mr. Popeish McWhitesoxfan is safe from the deadly sin of Pride.

 
Woke means becoming aware of the inequities in American society. Those who are not aware of the problems that minorities face in American society are asleep.

Fact Check: Pope Leo XIV never encouraged people to 'be woke'​


Jarod, did you notice that "never" word in there?
