We used to be proud of our progress and moves toward equality. Until the propaganda machine found they can get votes by pandering to bigotry - time to go backward.
We need "Jesus is Woke" bumper stickers.
Sounds like your personal progressive agenda..."progress and moves toward equality" (Whatever THAT all is...nobody but you seems to know.) has hit a stumbling block called "woke".Tonight is the Gridiron dinner, which every president except trump has attended. Except Mr. Democratic President whined that it was a male-only venue and he wouldn't attend if they didn't open it to women, so they changed the rules for his woke agenda.
This was just after his inauguration when he sat watching the units go by and the Coast Guard didn't seem to have any black faces, and he order actions to be taken to make it more diverse, again for his woke agenda.
Busybody. Woke this woke that.
Oh ya, the president was JFK.
It's not that the principles have changed, but that the American political system now has the corporations and an ultra wealthy class pouring massive amounts of dark money into propaganda to attack Democrats 24x7, so they can get power for their hired minions the Republicans.

"Woke" is a conservative construct assigned to liberals. A 'talking point' they repeat like 'fake news' or 'alternative facts' or 'stop the steal'.Sounds like your personal progressive agenda..."progress and moves toward equality" (Whatever THAT all is...nobody but you seems to know.) has hit a stumbling block called "woke".
Since "woke" is a liberal construct, it seems you only have your own ilk to blame.
btw, those who are "pandering to bigotry" are not attacking Democrats 24x7. They ARE the Democrats.
What we need is everyone to stop saying "woke" means something it never did in the history of our language.
How do I know i"woke" never meant anything related to Biblical behavior and diversity? Because only people who worship Trump the Terrorist use it that way. Smart people know what we want is equality, not people getting out of bed.
There is nothing wrong with being aware and helping to fight social injustice.We should all understand "woke" means being aware of social injustice, originating in the 1940s African American community, and use it to vigorously fight back against the disgusting Rep/cons who are the purveyors of social injustice. Not give in like the weak-ass Dems usually do and give up on a name that the Rep/cons have twisted into a pejorative. Like they did with liberal, which the Dems gave up on, too, and thus now use the term "progressive", sliming away from a fight that was brought right to their face.
close. Bs the principals have changed God dramatically. Now its pretend any group is a victim you can to divide and get votes.Tonight is the Gridiron dinner, which every president except trump has attended.

Wrong."Woke" is a conservative construct assigned to liberals. A 'talking point' they repeat like 'fake news' or 'alternative facts' or 'stop the steal'.
Even if yo baby ain't got no money
To support ya baby, you
(I stay woke)
Even when the preacher tell you some lies
And cheatin on ya mama, you stay woke
(I stay woke)
Even though you go through struggle and strife
To keep a healthy life, I stay woke
(I stay woke)
Everybody knows a black or a white there's creatures in every shape and size
Everybody
(I stay woke)
From your link...Wrong.
It can be hard to trace slang back to its origins since slang’s origins are usually spoken, and it can be particularly difficult to trace a slang word that has its origins in a dialect. Woke’s transformation into a byword of social awareness likely started decades earlier but began to be more broadly known in 2008, with the release of Erykah Badu’s song “Master Teacher”:Stay woke became a watch word in parts of the black community for those who were self-aware, questioning the dominant paradigm and striving for something better. But stay woke and woke became part of a wider discussion in 2014, immediately following the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. The word woke became entwined with the Black Lives Matter movement; instead of just being a word that signaled awareness of injustice or racial tension, it became a word of action. Activists were woke and called on others to stay woke.
This term was created by the left.
By the end of that same decade it was also being applied by some as a general pejorative for anyone who is or appears to be politically left-leaning.
You responded to my contention about where the term started. It didn't start as a conservative talking point...and I just proved that.From your link...
The idea of "woke" may not be conservative but the above described pejorative 'construct' is conservative.
Thus a conservative talking point.
More silly ramblings from the guy who continues to push the big lie.Sounds like your personal progressive agenda..."progress and moves toward equality" (Whatever THAT all is...nobody but you seems to know.) has hit a stumbling block called "woke".

Matthew 25:50, Matthew 7:12, Luke 6:31.close. Bs the principals have changed God dramatically. Now its pretend any group is a victim you can to divide and get votes.
Being left of center by this board's standards, I have to log in each day just to get up to speed on what commie, socialist agenda I currently believe in.More silly ramblings from the guy who continues to push the big lie.
Did your George Soros decoder ring stop working? That is how I get all of my lefty news, other than NPR (WKSU).Being left of center by this board's standards, I have to log in each day just to get up to speed on what commie, socialist agenda I currently believe in.
Your contention was that "woke" was a liberal construct.You responded to my contention about where the term started. It didn't start as a conservative talking point...and I just proved that.
Your deflection is noted and dismissed.
Your contention was that "woke" was a liberal construct.
Conservatives turned it into its pejorative construct. It's become a conservative talking point.
Case closed.
It wasn't me who moved the goalpost from a "liberal construct" to "where the term started".All you did was move the goal posts rather than address the current issue.
You are sadly mistaken.Matthew 25:50, Matthew 7:12, Luke 6:31.
Jesus was woke.
Your reply should be highly amusing.You are sadly mistaken.
Jesus teaches the Golden Rule.25:40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ For “whatsoever you do to the least of your brothers and sisters, you do unto me,” says the Lord Jesus.
Luke repeats the same command in 6:3112 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
6:31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
There is nothing wrong with being aware and helping to fight social injustice.
The problem is when you start to believe things such as it being ok to breach the 14th amendment equal justice clause in order to "equitably" dispense justice or benefit based on past transgressions the accused had nothing to do with.
That is the beginning of "wokeism".
Only the continuance of the complete and essential teachings and practice of equality for all can move us forward properly. Anyone with real intellect can see this.
I know that in this country, equality is not 100% perfect yet, but it must still always be the goal.
also, VERY few conservatives today would have any problem with Women coming to the dinner in the example (in fact it would be expected that they have every right) , so that is a bad analogy. We are no longer living in the 1960's.
sure, we should learn about past transgressions, in a way that is Informative for us all, but not accusatory or causing of anger. that does no good and is counter productive. Doing It that way causes MORE transgressions. Divisiiveness by this president causes MROE transgressions.Past transgressions are a history we should all learn about. It's the current transgressions that continue to prevent equal justice for many who are still discriminated against.
"We are no longer living in the 1960's."
Correct. The Rep/cons are trying to take us back to the 1950s.
