What is "woke"? And what is the opposite of "woke"?

[bripat9643]

Everything I listed actually happened.

Prove it.

 

[GMCGeneral]

I realize far-right individuals are attempting to alter the meaning of woke but fortunately it's not working. The opposite of woke is small-minded, sick and unthinking; hatred, pure and simple.

No. The opposite of wok is correct thinking. Woke is PC on steroids.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Its a word that even the dumbest right wingers can spell without moving their lips. It means anything they dont like.

 

[Orangecat]

"Woke" is really the past tense of "wake".
The word has been co-opted by illiterate imbeciles who feel they've awakened to social injustices.
In reality, they're just useful idiots with ebonic-level grammar skills.

 

[Orangecat]

It means anything they dont like.

"Dont" is not a word, you illiterate imbecile.

 

[Stann]

No. The opposite of wok is correct thinking. Woke is PC on steroids.

Why would you even believe that ? What truths do you want to hide ? Do you believe freedom and equality should have limits ? Doesn't everyone deserve respect ?

Do those rules of yours apply equally to all groups ?

Pushing sexual topics, such as gayness and transgenderism on elementary school children and seeing nothing wrong with it.

That's just one, and even if I did more, you would disagree, so what's the point? We're polar opposites. You're a hypocrite that I'm sure railed against the 'moral authority' when it was on the right, but have no problem pushing your morals using authority, flip side of the same coin. You're no different, just your agenda.

They're not pushing any agenda, just trying to protect everyone. Ignorance hatred and violence go together. Education fights all that. The kids that need to hear these the most are the ones with parents who are ignorant and hateful. The gay kids already know it's wrong to hate. They've been victims of it all too often.

Not my rules. Go argue with your straw men if that's what you really want to do.

Woke is finding out about the Tulsa Race Massacre at the age of 50+ and realizing that you were never taught that there was a Tulsa Race Massacre while you were in school for 20+ years.

Agreed! Like learning Woodrow Wilson, FDR and LBJ were the biggest racists in DC.

It is hilarious
Best stuff SNL has done it 20 years.

I liked the one about white supremacy the best. That really hit home. How can anyone be that ignorant is beyond belief. Or the one on the Kavanaugh hearings ( or more properly said, the lack thereof ) or West's support for trump ( another bad joke ).

 

[Stann]

Not my rules. Go argue with your straw men if that's what you really want to do.

But you made the ridiculous statement.

No deserves equality.

Do you mean no one deserves equality?

I think that's an interesting concept and I like it. It's like "rights" and "justice" and many other made-up ideas that are not real.

Those concepts are supported by one American ideal, it's called freedom. I believe it still exists, despite all the attempts to destroy it.
