“What does woke mean?”

cawacko said:
For starters it's not just conservatives and a dictionary definition and how a word is used in the real world can be two very different things. On paper sure, it's pretty hard to be against 'woke' if it simply means being aware of injustice. Most people would say they are woke if that's all it was. Where the resistance and push back comes from are actions and policies done in the name of wokeness that people don't agree with. Simply labeling something as 'woke' doesn't give it a pass or mean it should be free of scrutiny.

I'll offer a couple of examples but there are many many more. Take Affirmative Action. Supporting AA would be woke right? Yet in California, a heavily Democratic state where whites are not a majority, in 2020 we voted again against AA. Does that make much of the state non-woke? Take SAT, LSAT and other standardized tests that some think are racist or not woke. Can one be woke and still support those tests? Take reparations. Clearly not all liberals supports reparations. Can you call yourself woke and not support them (or think there should be any cap on the dollar amount given)? Take crime. I'll speak to San Francisco but it's not unique here. Last year we recalled our progressive DA whose whole M.O. was we need less people in jail etc. San Francisco is generally considered a pretty progressive City, but can it consider itself woke because people here are worried about crime and wanted someone who will pay more attention to it?

Yes.

The term "Social Justice" is meaningless, bullshit concept. That's why the Democrat Party is so obsessed with it. Any form of irrational , Postmodernist stupidity attracts Democrats like a fresh turd laid on a San Francisco City sidewalk attracts blow-flies. :)

(Actually all those people shitting in public all over California, (and in numerous big cities in other states in the US) is NOT really funny. In fact, it's utterly disgusting. So, could you Yanks please do something about it; as it's embarrassing for all of us who live in CIVILISED Western nations like Australia and England. People living in Turkey and Iran must think to themselves: "Goodness me ! I hear those dirty Aussies crap all over the place in public in Sydney and Melbourne, and even on Ayers Rock. Golly Gosh - the dirty dogs !! ( because they figure Australians are White Westerners just like Americans, and if Americas are shitting in their own nests - we must too!!)


To continue...


Justice is blind. Notice how the statues of "Lady Justice" (the Greek Goddess, Themis depict her as being blind- folded. "Lady Justice" doesn't see and acknowledge any thing called social Justice. Her business is soley with dispensing unbiased Justice for persons brought before her - regardless of their appearance or any other outside influences itself . There are no different types of jJustice that she is aware of (and certaily not poxy, Marxist, "Social Justice").


Besides, I mean you just have to look at a group of pimply college - campus SJW to see they are a pack of "8-balls" clowns and dickheads. This, in itself tells you that the entire concept of Social Justice is bogus - just something a group of sodomite, postmodern lefties in the American academy pulled out of their puckered ass-holes one day for fun !

Like Trump's mob who attacked cops at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Like the Summer of 2020 Dem insurrection riots. And Storming the Whitehouse in a presidential assassination attempt.

Chauvin was found not guilty of a hate crime/racism. 100 days of buring and looting in 140 cities based on a Dem media lie about the unintentional death of a violent career criminal who resisted arrested for 30 minutes before the vid was filmed.

Your Democrat party of insurrection and slavery is still around. And there is good reason you white socialists never changed the name of your racist, violent authoritarian party. Because you still do the same evil shit.


Our greatest democrat socialist pres., FDR, bought 75% of the Black vote in '36, ... and won 100% of the white lib kkk vote. There never was any magical switching of party names.

You white supremacists ban Black kids from school for up to 2 years. You refuse to give them school choice like your old slave days. You urge Black mothers kill their children before they are born.

You take police protection away from them, release violent criminals back into their communities, and dump illegal covid infected foreigners in their neighborhoods.

You white supremacists demonize Black religion, demonize traditional Black family and promote Baby Daddy culture. Breaking up Black families just like you did in your old slave days. You "lynch" any Black that votes repub. Same old kkk shit you've always done.


You can't dispute those facts you nazi racist POS. No democrat poster can.

Woke just means becoming aware that minorities are not getting even treatment from American institutions including schools, work, police, and others. Since the right has no defense against that, they redefine it as needed.

Sure. But in America today everything thinks they are in a minority group. Trump thinks this.
