The definition of woke: “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”
-Ron DeSantis chief counsel
Anyone that would argue woke is bad is a racist, sexist, bigot
If wokeness is only about American society, why are y'all dragging other countries into it?
Are you a racist, sexist bigot? If not, this woke stuff shouldn't really bother you.
I think people of all races should be treated equally, which is apparently considered racist according to the woke ideology.
I just gave you the definition of woke from the American politician who is the most "anti-woke". How in the world can you interpret that definition as meaning it's racist to treat all races equally?
I didn't say it based on the definition you posted; but bassd on my countless encounters with “woke” people.
So you're making your own definition of woke and you don't like the definition you've settled on. Got it.
Feel free to take the definition I've give you and use it to educate others.
Whatever definition you use doesn't change what actual "woke” people think.
Maybe. But it does change what YOU know to be the definition. Makes it easier to separate the people from the word.
