I was sleeping, and then suddenly, I wasn't.


WOKE:
Umbrella term for individuals who are engrossed by social justice and thinks of themselves as saviors with a moral high ground, but remain willfully ignorant to the irrationality of their claims and the problems they create. These individuals give special treatment to certain minorities in hopes of ending racism and perpetuate mental illnesses as the norm.

You left out the 'demanding respect', and the 'offended' parts.

Woke is a defined as: Alert to and concerned about social injustice and discrimination.

Woke is also derogatory umbrella term American conservatives throw at liberals during political discussions when they find they've lost a debate or can't think of a valid counterpoint of their own.

Ohhh...so it's just like when Woke Liberals, after they lose an argument and call conservatives racists, because that automatically wins the argument, right?.

No, it's not the same at all. Liberals call conservatives racists only when they act or speak as racists.

Liberals don't need to use labels to win a debate with conservatives since it's pretty easy to do without them. 😏

1. No. No, they don't, they just do it all the time.
2. Yes, yes they DO need to use labels, because THAT'S ALL THEY DO!

I must know what is meant by social injustice. And maybe what is the cure, no matter how silly or unrealistic or impossible it sounds. Even theoretically.
Could it go right down to the ground level….that Kamala Jackson promised, that ‘at the end of the day, everyone ends up in the same place”?

PS: I think that for WOKE to be …..acted upon?….that it requires two or more participants. If I step on the porch, independent of others, coffee, watch the sunrise, drive to town and not bother or have any effect on anyone, do I automatically find that Woke has nothing to do with me? Can I live without practicing Woke?

Thumb up. Do you know, they do not get what they are saying?


Urban DIctionary:

“The act of suddenly becoming aware of every social issue, no matter how small , and then letting everyone KNOW about it!!! Oohhh Sue…. “Preferably on Twitter while holding a latte”

Good stuff. Ohhh, the angst….. Some have done sueezide just over the word ‘orange’.

Social injustice definitions:

1. Conditions adversely affecting health due to denial of equal opportunities.

2. Unjust actions resulting from unequal treatment and access to opportunities.

Can't you look this up yourself?
