Re: Wokeness Explained
I, for one, am stunned that Glen takes the explanation of two white men as being accurate.
Of course, it is accurate in Glen’s mind as it meets Glen’s needs and wants.
Perhaps Glen should ask the two gentlemen legislators in Tennessee what woke means. I suspect that he won’t. That Maher and Carrillo said it was “far left” was good enough for him.
Which seems to confirm that despite his protestations he is racist.

This is why I believe many liberals are racist. Because they hold racist beliefs.

Re: Wokeness Explained
It isn’t that liberals can’t be racist. It is that conservatives claim they aren’t.
Go find the definition of racist then go find the definition of woke.
Re: Wokeness Explained
No, it's not what it means.
It isn't anyone's context to change. We don't get to redefine it as we see fit. Stop that. White people seem to like taking things from the black community and bastardizing it. The whole Rolling Stone debacle is an example of that.
Good God, white people, not everything is about you.
What they, and so many conservatives believe (and some liberals), believe is woke is really "not being an asshole". Too many people want to be assholes.

I think that Mahre and especially Carville are people who have their thumbs on the political pulse of our nation and their opinions are very valid.
It seems to me that woke has replaced politically correct.

Re: Wokeness Explained
You've never watched Bill Maher. You don't give a shit for Carville.
But they said something you like, so you pretend you follow them.
But keep whitesplaining it to us. Tell us what black people think. Tell us why they should be good with George Floyd being murdered.
Re: Wokeness Explained
Yeah, two white male talking heads on TV discount racism to their smug audience of other privileged whites. That's like believing Putin when he explains why Ukraine is part of Holy Mother Russia.
Whadda load. The stupid... it burns.
The whole wokeness debate shows that the Republican playbook works. If you can't beat 'em, deconstruct 'em.

Re: Wokeness Explained
Ah, so you're on board with co-opting the black community to redefine things as you see fit.
Fair enough. It's an honest admission as to exactly where you are coming from.
Re: Wokeness Explained
Woke and politically correct both still exist, rendering this post as ill-informed as its author seems to be. Woke, indeed, started as a Black thing, while I seem to associate PC with the group that used to be described as yuppies before that label went out of style.

One who took a good idea and fucked it up with your liberal white guilt.
Whitesplain is just another term people like you use to shut down a discussion you know you can't win.

The word “woke” came from the black community. If you didn’t listen to your crap on Facebook you would have known that.Glennfs wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2023 5:45 pm When did this become a racial issue. You are the exact person that they are talking about.

Re: Wokeness Explained
Which is exactly what was being explained in the link you didn't read.
Once liberal white people like you latched onto the term and bastardized it now it went from a positive to a negative.
Thanks to people like you who are suffering from liberal white guilt

Re: Wokeness Explained
Bullshit.
You say whatever Trump tells you to say - he says woke is bad, so do you.
You can’t even define it.
Re: Wokeness Explained
I have no idea what Trump says about this or any other topic.
My link was from two liberals not Trump.
You are just doing your personal trolling by calling me a Trumper on damn near every topic.

I just refuse his crap, Brad. I’ll call him on it every time.
Re: Wokeness Explained
All a part of wokeness. Anyone who dares to have any opinion that isn't exactly the same as everyone else's is no longer a democrat.
Here is Maher's opinion on the matter
