Journalist Soledad O’Brien alerted reporters on Monday that the term "woke" has now become akin to a "racist slur" or "the n-word."
From her Twitter account, the ex-CNN anchor posted an image of a tweet from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., commenting on the Super Bowl pregame show. Greene wrote, "Chris Stapleton just sang the most beautiful national anthem at the Super Bowl. But we could have gone without the rest of the wokeness."
O’Brien tweeted in response, "So reporters.. for many people ‘woke’ means Black people. Or more likely--a racist slur. So maybe do a better job in interviews when people talk about 'wokeness' mmkay?"
She double downed by saying, "Yeah I've discovered that some people use it as a synonym for the n-word," in response to a Twitter user who wrote, "I never understood what woke means."
Woke is now defined in this dictionary as “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice),” and identified as U.S. slang. It originated in African American English and gained more widespread use beginning in 2014 as part of the Black Lives Matter movement. By the end of that same decade it was also being applied by some as a general pejorative for anyone who is or appears to be politically left-leaning.
Comment:
Soledad is wrong.
Woke is supposed to mean that a person is aware of racial and social injustice.
However, the Left's idea of social justice is unbalanced and twisted.
The police also kill Asian, Latino and White suspects.
But the Left Wing dominate Press never makes those cases an issue because that does not fit the far-left's racist narrative.
Another issue that the Wokesters are asleep on is that the annual murder ratio between Blacks and Whites is about 2 to 1. (*DOJ)
That seems like an ignored social injustice.
In fact, Blacks commit the highest rates of interracial violence. (*DOJ)
That seems like an ignored social injustice.
But because of all of the irrational and unreasonableness of the Woksters, it also means someone who is a hive mind far-left extremist and who is unaware of their own racism.
Here are a few terms that the Wokesters use that are racist, white privilege, white fragility, and White paternalism.
