I agree, being awake is, at least in part, about knowing yourself. I have racist ideas and tendencies, the difference is that I try to not act on them, and I work to do better.
To me trying to do better, is as close to be 'woke' as a person can be.
The worst thing a person can do is decide that they cant do better so they are just going to stay racist.

So, here is the problem with the Conservative message, you dont clarify.
I agree with Anatta and Cawacko when they explain the deeper meaning of the complaints, but you go around and attack people for being Elite or Woke and it sounds like pure anti-intellectualism and the opposite of what you mean.
It gives a racist or bigot cover, to justify their acting out on racism or bigotry against those who are elite at something. It leads to things like the January 6th insurrection. Can you see that?

We are just going to have to disagree on that, but having a different opinion than you does not mean I am pretending to be 'woke', I simply believe America still has vestiges of racism in our system and that we can do better, you disagree. That is okay, it does not justify attacking me for believing what I believe.

I don't encourage feeling badly about it, but I do encourage trying to do better. Making fun of those of us who do try to do better is a great example of why systematic racism still exists in our nation.
They need to stop calling people names just for trying to be better people.
