Was Jesus Woke?

Okay, "social awareness." What does that totally vapid and vacuous platitude mean in terms that can demonstrate it in use?

I've been conversing about it w/ JesusAI. You can reference that.

Really, all you've done w/ that word is repeat the hijacked version(s) of its meaning. It's origins are much different from that.
 
JesusAI said:
people conflate that with the general idea of transgenderism because they are chastised for being "transphobic" if they want a league for actual women.

like j.k. rowling is called a transphobe, true or false?

a terfer. trans exclusionary radical feminist.

I'm sure some call them that, and I don't think Rowling is (based only on what I've seen her say).

Obviously, there is real transphobia out there. We see it on this board alone every day.

If people don't kiss tranny ass like you they must be transphobic isn't that right? Of course it is. Let's not waste time

so you should work to separate the real transphobia from the fake transphobia, and take a solid position on protecting title ix.

no?

Not at all.

Would you really deny that there is hate & intolerance out there for the transgender community?

There is no reason to go to extremes. This is something that exists. That is undeniable. It exists for the whole LGBTQ community. It has improved, but it is still a problem.

That plus censoring school texts and library books is not "censorship".

According to the alt right, banning corporations, and even people from saying things you do not like is not censorship, but having those same people refuse to say what you want them to is censorship.

Basically, just being alert to clear racism, clear examples of discrimination, clear examples of inequality or unequal treatment.

Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Conservatives hijacked "woke." It doesn't mean what most of them think it means - if any of them can even provide a straight answer for that.

Did you see Gardner's definition of Woke? It sounded like something Trump would say.

give an example.

like not shouting "fag" in a crowded theatre?

Social Awareness as BP means it appears to mean doing stuff like:

Asking for and using whatever pronouns a person wants used no matter how insane those may be.
Giving sex education to kindergartners because it's never too soon to guide them into being perverts
Banning "bad" books that disagree with their views is fine, but banning "good" books that agree with their views is evil.
Following the science except when it clashes with their beliefs and politics
Giving illicit drugs, needles, and paraphernalia to addicts because that is "compassionate."
Rioting and violence by like-minded Leftist groups is okay and "peaceful protesting" while equal rioting and violence by opposition minded groups is evil and to be crushed as "Violent protests" or "insurrection."

That sort of thing.

It's "current" meaning is only how it has been dishonestly represented by conservatives.

But I appreciate you admitting that you do not care about the truth.

Then show us a concise counter definition. I expect you can't however, because "woke" has become another pejorative like "liberal" and "Progressive" have not because of the Right or Conservatives but because the Left by their actions and words turned it into one.

It's not a counter definition. It's the definition. And I have provided it repeatedly.

Your take is at best interesting. But it is completely, 100% inaccurate.

How did the word “liberal“ become a political insult?

When Did “Liberal” Become an Insult
https://medium.com/hindsights/when-did-liberal-become-an-insult-4d3341453b1a

My take: Liar Incessantly Betraying Everyone's Rights And Liberties...

Here's someone trying (unsuccessfully) to push back:

Why Is Being "Liberal" An Insult?
https://www.theodysseyonline.com/why-is-liberal-an-insult

The word "progressive" has become a tool to appeal to those further-left-leaning Americans without alienating the moderates and independents who reject the "liberal" label.
Saying "progressive" dodges that L-word, Kamarck says: "It's an effort to shed a bad label. That's why, pure and simple."

How the Term 'Social Justice Warrior' Became an Insult
https://fee.org/articles/how-the-term-social-justice-warrior-became-an-insult/

The Left and radical Left has a long history of adopting terms to describe themselves only to find that the term quickly gets very negative connotations, and even becomes a serious insult. Thus, the Left has to keep finding new words to describe themselves as their current ones are now pejoratives.

Artfully done.
