I keep asking what “woke” means. I always get a bunch of mumbo jumbo from my team on what it means to be woke. I looked it up, on the line, too. What I found was simple and made sense to me – “Woke” means “alert to injustice in society, especially racism.”
I think I’m finally “woke.” I looked up the definition for injustice just to make sure. Besides the very cool-looking DC comics game called “Injustice” (and Injustice II) — I found this simple definition: injustice – lack of fairness.
Fairness. Equality. I get it. I’m woke.
Too many people of color have less opportunity for the education they deserve. That’s not fair. Who’s fault is it? Trump, of course.
Tearing down statues is a problem, says the “right,” because it’s erasing our history. But, likewise, I need to “erase” my history. Erase my 100 years as a public servant where I put in little effort to improve schools. Tear down that Biden history!! Produce a revisionist Biden history that credits me with any positive thing we can scrape up of stuff that I may have been in the room for…Anything…?
America is a great country. Free. But, maybe it is a little better for white people. When you are white, you can be a Democrat, a Republican, an independent, and even one of the looney Libertarians. Yes super silly Libertarians who seek to maximize individual freedom and promote “less government not more.” But that’s not my point. My point is white people can be whatever they want, as long as they never say “All Lives Matter.” Holy cow.
Black people – well, they have to be Democrats. Definitely not equal – but they just don’t have the same choices white people have. They can’t be for less government, then they would be traitors to their race. They can’t want MORE police for their neighborhoods – because that would make them pro-police and anti-BLM. Terry Crews – getting death threats for having an opinion. Crazy stuff. And on and on and on.
Really the only thing better for blacks is that they can hire body builders to pretend to attack them, then file a police report on the fake hate crime – then gets lots of media attention – then have zero consequences….
Come on, man.
