Darwin would have no way of [b]knowing[/b] what that term meant. He avoided speaking with black people (where the slang originated) because he thought we were "degraded and inferior".
He was a notorious white supremacist.
Coincidentally, white supremacists see being "woke" (aware and empathetic) as a bad thing [b]now[/b], too. 馃槼
@bijouxbroussard They are trying to conflate anything "TRANS",critical race theory (a post doctoral term ,the kitchen sink as Woke...when they won't simply teach American History factually ,surely a minimum standard...馃檮..SLAVES..where,where??
@bookerdana Because they see it as "blaming white people" and now that they鈥檙e no longer proud of the past, they worry about their kids being taught a truth where whites were [b]not[/b] necessarily the "good guys". It鈥檚 [b]exactly[/b] like the meme states:
@bijouxbroussard Ironic..I was going to write a post ,I AM WOKE but it would bring more heat than light but I wa talking to a friend about 猬嗭笍 that incident and he said,Wow,that was NOT that long ago......
@bookerdana Many of the kids who integrated southern schools are still alive鈥攁s are quite a number of the kids and even some of their parents who [b]protested[/b] against integration. There鈥檚 an interesting coda to the story about Elizabeth Eckford, front, and Hazel Bryan, the girl behind her yelling.
@bijouxbroussard My friend was not alive in 1963,nor was he[u] taught[/u] about it...but "in Alabama they loved the Governor" 馃檮 Which is why it ought to be taught,its a FACT
@bijouxbroussard The events at Little Rock in 1957 were widely reported internationally - I was pretty young back then,but do remember them from the news and from TV.That famous/infamous photo of the two girls was featured on the front page of the leading newspaper here in Sydney.
@craig7 I recently read that some years later, the white girl who was yelling (Hazel Bryan) saw the iconic picture and just like in the meme, realized that she was there for the world (including her children and grandchildren) to see, as the face of hatred. It prompted her to reach out to Elizabeth Eckford with an apology. They met, and became friends.
