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.

That doesn't answer the question I posed.

So you posted a response without even reading my comment? 🙄

@calicuz I read the usual woke bullschiff, and provided a quite accurate answer

Nevermind sunsporter, if you're not going to engage in a real discussion about important subjects in our country, then please don't involve yourself.
I mean, it may be my fault for being a joker on this site, but I thought I've proved myself to be serious when the time and the conversation calls for it.
Seriously though, where in my question or my statement did you find liberalism?

@calicuz Your kidding, right?

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?
