Yep my cousin who I’m trying to help get VA benefits, used it on me as a slur. Retorted “I’m glad I’m woke I’d hate to have my head where the sun never shines you dumb shit”. Talk to ya later.
Woke means nothing more than to be a conciously functioning entity with some awareness of empathy and environment. Not to much asked. Sure if you celebrate ignorance and stupidity than 'woke' is not good for you.
Roosevelt and Nixon championed climate concerns = woke
Reagan and Bush supported criminal reform, and pro-immigration = woke
Bush defended Muslim religious freedom after 9/11 = woke
Eisenhower pushed for unions and fair wages = woke
My mind is truly boggled by this obsession that progress=wokeism.
I'm not really sure you read what I wrote. I was agreeing with you and affirming your perspective of "some awareness, empathy, and being a consciously functioning entity" with words and perspectives of my own. Sorry for attempting to engage with you in an intelligent, positive conversation.
I really thought you're being sarcastic. Because Nixon or Bush, Reagan i never considered as empathic or conciously functioning. But that might be that i followed their actions from a foreign country...well, Nixon i can't remember...but Bush especially internationally was a nightmare to many...
It's all good. I'm not old enough to have a very developed opinion on each of those President's, I am just aware that there have been many actions taken in the past by conservative/republican leaders in the US that would now be considered "woke" by that same party. I judge their morales are flaccid.
I told my senator to stop using the word "woke" and "wokeism" in his publications because it makes him sound like a child in a playground throwing rocks.
We're all down at the local watering hole.
Homo sapiens, antelopes, bison, giraffes and lions.
Each group looks, lives, loves differently than the others.
But we all allow access to that watering hole.

That's the reality of it all.
That's what our DNA tells us.
Just sayin'
Thank the Creator for the #Woke!
It meant nothing more than "I'm hip" or "I dig it."
Now, Trump and his goons are trying to turn it into a racial slur.
But woke is no joke, and the harder they try, the cooler it gets.
Now more than ever, I'm woke!
I learned it well before it was ever used in a derogatory way!
When I heard it from a Republican, I knew he knew nothing at all!!
