    The US is a racist construct. it cannot be redeemed. Get woke about it and tear it down (i.e)

    It's blind adherence to radical thought
    I do not understand what you are trying to say. Sorry.

    quite different from actually being aware. in fact one is utterly unaware of anything not approved by PC thought
    The other responses on this thread are correct, though. No lefties here ever use the term - or nationally, for that matter. You & a few other righties are the ones who obsess over it and bring it up all the time.

    Last November?

    Good article, regardless. People used to use the term, of course - until righties hijacked it and made it something it's not.

    It's funny that people feel threatened by awareness.

    Woke is not awareness -not at all.
    It's blind adherence to a pre-set Politically Correct set of concepts, such as (but not limited to) the 1619 Project

    That's a partisan take on it. Regardless, the only ones who really use the term anymore are righties who think it's some sort of clever jab.

    It's not partisan.
    PC Culture is distorted reality by it's very nature.
    Being "Woke" is seeing things thru only that eye -to the exclusion of nuanced totality of extant

    It's a mock now - a slur. "Hey, ya little wokies, nyah, nyah, nyah."

    Like children.

    Are there some who overused the term, or made it a "better than thou" boast? Of course. But all it means is being aware. Acknowledging the issues that are right in front of our face.

    It's something we all should aspire toward. When people mock the term, all I really hear is that they'd prefer to remain in the dark.

    Woke is a term used by the young and P.O.C. and the liberals on this board are largely white and boomers so it’s not all that surprising it doesn’t get used here.

    Saying liberals around the country don’t use it is 100% false. I posted LeBron’s tweet yesterday where he said “stay woke”. It’s a regular phrase people use. Hell, my Pastor is a white left wing activist millennial and he regularly calls our church a woke church.

    The NY Times, WaPo and NPR have all written about being woke and more recently does Joe Biden have a woke problem. If you think liberals don’t use the term you aren’t paying close enough attention.

    An opinion piece by somebody named "Damon Young"?

    Never heard of him.

    If the word Woke annoys you so much, why not stop using it? Only you and deplorables here obsess over it.

    No lefties here are using it, and for that matter Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and Michelle Obama aren't using it either.

    I haven't even heard AOC use it in any measurable way.
