The Joke called Woke
 |
There is this political term derived from African American individuals having a perception of issues relating to social justice and racial justice. As all things anymore the original flavor and meaning of the term has been corrupted by those individuals invoking it most often — customized to their specific liking. This activity of 'being woke' is said to be a mantra touting fairness when in actuality it is simply another term for "I can be racist all I care to but don't you dare go there." "Stay Woke" is part of the continuing racial discord in the United States.
If you view the entirety of pedantic racism those roots are weaved though those
| • | "black pages" and |
| • | "Miss Black America" and other |
| • | "black" exclusionary conventions, |
| • | events, |
| • | institutions, |
and practices which are part and parcel of "Do as I say not as I do". You cannot be exclusionary and treat it like a crime when others do it. Everything cannot be attributed to some vague underlying racisim supposedly evident everywhere. That panacea label applied to all things specific to too many for too long.
So to Maxine Waters and others like Spartacus Booker we are left to tolerate their racism while they blindly cast aspersions and accusations of racist whatever over each and everyone else not doing it. It's like the democrats doing all manner of unscrupulous and immoral activities while accusing the Republicans falsely of doing them. So stay as angry as you like. Stay as woke as you like.
This manipulative "call it what it isn't" mechanism which by which individuals are incapable of recognizing nor speaking the truth is that same circular narrative devoid of logic and full of contrived CNN fake news nothingness to which "the woke" subscribe. In the final tally everyone will know who dishes out the sleaze going around ... and too many of them are persons claiming to be "woke" for "being woke" doesn't really mean anything.
It's a code word for false accusation and innuendo by those with nothing to say otherwise.
You can deny it. You can call it what it's not. You can bear all manner of false witness toward those who recognize that connotation which is "woke". It's unseemly and has been outed for quite a while now.
