Woke

"WOKENESS"🤔 refers to a contemporary ideology rooted in Critical Theory, race, and identity politics, often infused with elements of Marxism, which emphasizes a hierarchical view of victim-hood and collective identity. This ideology tends to prioritize group identities over individual agency, leading to an overemphasis on identity categories such as race, gender, and sexual orientation. Critics argue that "wokeness" fosters a culture of victim-hood, promotes intolerance towards differing viewpoints (commonly known as "cancel culture"), and undermines the principles of individualism and meritocracy. Furthermore, it is often associated with policies and practices that prioritize diversity over qualifications, potentially leading to reverse discrimination and the devaluation of excellence and achievement.
Why did Woke Colin Kaepernick join a dating app? He wanted to find someone who would take a knee for him, just like he did for social justice!

Woke

Woke means paying attention to whats being done in your name, to your life, in your community, to your neighbors, in your country, in our world. It means taking a stand against injustice where ever it presents. And continuing to strive even if its not personal or apparent.

Its voting in the primary and midterms, not just every four years, for a candidate whose record you have researched. And staying on your representatives to be sure the will of the People is first and foremost on their agenda...

Woke originated in the Black Community.

A 1962 New York Times Magazine article titled "If You're Woke You Dig It" by Black novelist William Melvin Kelley, describing the appropriation of African American slang by white beatniks. While I can understand the author's irritation at their appropriation I can also hear echoes of Divide and Conquer.

The powers that be much prefer the status quo. They cannot stand against the People United.
Woke means being mindful of your influence and never never ever giving up. Striving for the best world that can be. It means having principles and ideals, not just opinions. Woke is sometimes seen as passive but #StayingWoke is being knowledgeable and aware of where your power lies. Knowledge is Power and what is Power if it is not used?
