Makes sense to me and that's all that really matters - to me.
I know that. I you call me woke I'll have to assume you are ignorant of proper grammar usage and you meant to signify that I have recently arisen from a slumber.

No. It only means you are extremely ignorant of the word that originated in the African-American community.

If you think we are "ignorant", that will only make us laugh harder at you.

You are excusing ignorant grammar of blacks. Question for you: Do you believe all blacks have poor English grammar or are they just more susceptible to poor English grammar because of their culture?

Which in turn I will consider you to be even more ignorant, or more accurately, willfully dumb.

I didn't know you're a racist. I'm surprised.

Then pretty soon the crowd starts accumulating and pointing at you and laughing. And you continue to dance like a clown. :)

Do you know what "informal" means? Here I'll help you since you are poor in English.

So no one here...including you..
identifies as "woke"... or even understands what it means....just a lot of defensiveness about a word that is broke...and has been for a number of years... and a lot of very inaccurate allegations..That is not works in progress that will benefit anyone...

THAT ^^^^^ RIGHT THERE is what 'woke' is.........the absolute IDIOCY of taking one statement or action and applying an entirely different and WRONG context to it in an attempt to denigrate some bullshit someone said that you don't agree with.

What is the context we are missing?

That was established several years ago when I openly advocated a healthy diet on DCJ. It was confirmed here[/URL] at JPP by none other than trashcan5 in APP. Then she reconfirmed it in a thread she started about me after being banned from APP.

I can jitterbug, waltz and cajun waltz. Even took formal lessons. I do not know how to clown dance. Didn't even know that was a dance genre.

What is DCJ? And what has been established? You being racist? I've never seen such establishment so I'll have to take your words for it.

But I am wondering if its truly because it's hard to spell empathetic, educated or enlightened.

To me, WOKE is a 4 letter word- weak in, that, it doesn't give enough justice to it's cause, confuses most people on both sides of the Aisle, and it's use doesn't help explain it's cause very well.

I compare it to the word MAGA that has the same confusion and controversy surrounding it's use as a Campaign slogan!

These are Branding signatures that has implications that goes along with them.

Implying you are either AWAKE or ASLEEP- depending on how you vote! And you are either MAGA- or you want America to be something bad rather than great- DEPENDING ON WHO YOU VOTE FOR!

So I would scrap both terms as failures!

These terms have done more damage in dividing us- while doing nothing in uniting us!

Thanks!

The word arose out of African-American community so of course it would confuse the hateful bigots and racists.

I don't feel like I am a racist or a bigot, I mean, who does right? But, the term confused me to a point, where I did look up it's history!

But the people that need the message of it's original intention the most are not going to look it up to understand it's history.

They don't care!

And I don't want people trying to define me by some 4 letter word!

So, when people ask me if I am Woke- I just say- "I'm wide awake"- Well unless I'm asleep- and then I respond with- "WELL I AM NOW"!

Thanks!

Wasn't addressed at you. I understood what you meant. The word "woke" has been so misused that it has become weak and useless.
