So what does 'woke' mean to you?

Now? It means anything the right objects to.
"Politically correct" has too many syllables for the cult. "Woke" is far easier for their stunted minds.
It's a strategy....

@Vin53 all we hear from you people on here the right, the right, the right to left the left the left fuck come out of the dark age start thinking for yourself
Carla · 61-69, F
@Funlov ive always thought for myself.
I certainly don't grab hold of catch words, phrases and memes to express myself.
And as left and right are concerned, there is a discernible difference between the two.

@sunsporter1649 Silenced like this??

First let me state that I do not consider myself "Woke," I just consider myself aware of wrongs that are being committed against my fellow American Citizens.

So those who consider yourselves "Not Woke," how do you feel about the following issues?

1: The Police continuing to murder unarmed American Citizens.

2: Politicians continuing to get richer and richer while the American worker continues to struggle to feed their family.

3: The Pharmaceutical Industry continuing to raise prices while Aging Americans continue to have choose between paying for medications and buying groceries?

I know in the political arena, they have reduced the "Woke Movement" to being nothing more than Liberal rhetoric and an attempt by "Black America" to have a cause and a voice in that political arena, but the problems remain in this country.
I do not see the "Woke Movement" as a "Black Movement," I see it as just another group that wants something done about the most pressing issues in this country.

If we think about it, if John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
were alive today, they would be labeled as "Woke" considering they faced the largest "Social Injustice" of their time........ Racism.

@calicuz Your kidding, right?

@sunsporter1649

Ok, let me start over with you, because I want to understand you.

What is your opinion of John F Kennedy, both as a man and as a President?

@calicuz The original bill 'it was just a blow job" clinton, that got 59,000 Americans killed after fucking up the Bay of Pigs
To me it means being aware of injustice that's so ingrained in society, people aren't even aware of most of their contributions. And yes, that includes me. I'm still learning a lot about my behavior as well.
It means what any buzz word means. It means those who use it as an insult don't have the energy or the capacity to employ critical thinking to say what they mean.

I thought it meant being aware socially and politically.

The GOP has their own definition to fit whatever they don't like
calicuz · 56-60, M
I've said it before: "Woke is only a dirty word if you don't know what you believe in and you don't know what you stand for."

To me, "woke" is simply recognizing the lies you've been told and letting the establishment know that you are aware of their lies.

@calicuz you are lied to everyday by someone, not just establishment nor one side. I guess Trump was woke then!! Good luck!
calicuz · 56-60, M
@Handfull1

Trump was supposed to be a different President, but he ended up being just another politician.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@calicuz and would anyone have believed that when the other side was trying to say that? They followed more blindly than the so called “WOKE” side!

@Vin53 The truth hurts...

LordShadowfire · 46-50, MVIP
@HoraceGreenley I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that being aware that other races struggle with racism made me a douchebag. If that's the case, I'll be a fucking douchebag all day long, and you can eat shit.
HoraceGreenley · 61-69, M
@LordShadowfire If that was what Woke was about then I'd be receptive. But in practice it is not.

“Woke” is the simple need to express consent with the minority opinion typically forced on the majority by the moonbats of the left.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, MVIP
@Adogslife Nope. You just failed the IQ test. Now you're just Q.
Pretty simple. Being aware of and against social injustice.
TheBannibalOne · 61-69, M
All it means is S''t.😡

A description from people who aren't used to everyone being able to voice their new and modern opinions and ideas or, a synonym for a person who judge you if you aren't like them.

It goes both ways.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Queendragonfly You forgot to mention another way to make a fast buck
This video explains a lot about woke and other words being used as triggers for emotional responses rather than their dictionary definitions:

I don't know.
It's just the past tense of wake.
You know Americans refuse to change. Booooom!
And nobody can do a thing.
If NATO turned away from killing us all, we'd try to become free of NATO. So we lost.

i was woke before woke was cool. I'm so woke I can see the dawn tomorrow today. My momma was more woke than your momma ever was! and that's an inline 4 cylinder with a 60 amp battery! so not woke...
Nothing - it's a stupid term for something that we should all be looking at anyway.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
I think it’s a pile of crap word that people came up with when they had nothing else substantial!!
LordShadowfire · 46-50, MVIP
@Handfull1 They didn't even come up with it. They stole it from black people. That tells you all you need to know about them.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, MVIP
To be aware of the struggle of a person or group when that struggle isn't your own. According to right wingers, that's a bad thing.

WOKE MEANS YOU LOVE BLACK PEOPLE AND GAYS AND MEXICANS!

@Vin53

That's obvious by his lack of spelling abilities.
Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M
It's mostly negative, but the right considers everything woke so it's not a useful word anymore.
