@metal-brain saidApparently you don't, if you think it has anything to do with JFK.
No it isn't. If you do not accept the JFK assassination was a conspiracy how can you consider yourself woke?
Do you even know what "woke" means?
@wajoma saidYou have my answer.
Quote specifically republican policy that is race based.
How much clearer can this be made.
Person X (name the person) a Republican in charge of placing voting booths said, (then quote the person verbatim): "We shore enuff ain't placing none of them dag namit polling stations where the nigras are."
That's an example of a quote, it is entirely fictitious as are your and sonhouse's accusations.
Damn, it's like talking to a koala. They just stare at you with that blank face.
@sh76 saidI am white and I had those things. A much, much smaller percentage of black people have those things. It's true that people treat you differently depending on your origin and what you have or don't have. This is exactly why racism is systemic and endemic, especially in America.
That the child of a high-ranking military officer had a nice childhood doesn't prove racism.
Marking you down as not a believer in white privilege because you don't want to understand what it means. That is what this article is about -- why the right can't deal with what woke is honestly.
@suzianne saidActually, I am a believer in white privilege; just not in 2023.

In, let's say, 1957, it was certainly an inherent advantage to be white.
@averagejoe1 saidYou misspelled Trump, again.
Y’all write on.
Are y’all aware the the Biden family is corrupt?
My main concern about “woke” is that it’s not “woke” what conservatives are actually on about.
Being woke is a phrase from the black US community. What it means is that you realise that racism isn’t incident based, that that it’s institutionalised and systemic. Like poverty in many countries.
Hence the Marxist connection to the term.
What conservatives call woke, is actually political correctness. And that has nothing to do with Marxism or systemic failures.
Yet they manage to connect the two in some sort of diabolic Frankenstinian linguistic nightmare.
Scaring the bejesus out of conservatives who suddenly see a communist monster lurking under the toilet seat* just waiting to steal their babies and force union laws down their collective throats.
Oh? You can’t call conservatives retards anymore? WOKE!
No, no, no. It’s not a systemic failure of culture and acceptence, enforcing a communist viewpoint. It’s politital correctness. Because a group of people (physically handicapped) are sick of being called retarded, and find the word disgusting. So they prefer it not to be used.
And when people think: “hey… okay… maybe if that word is so insulting to them, I will refrain from using it.” That’s political correctness / courtesy / politeness in action.
Two very seperate subjects which the extreme-right have wrongly mixed together.
Fukking retards. The lot of them.
* paraphrasing an old Dylan song from the 60’s.
@shavixmir [iUhhh, why is not feasible that we self reliant independent freedom-loving people do indeed see a communist monster just around the corner??. There are at least two on this very forum, who would probably love to run for office and change our country, not to mention the ones who are already there like the Cortez creature.

So, I do not get the basis of your offhand comment. Surely you know it is true. Can you explain what you mean? Get Zhalanzi, and y'all write a good thread on it. Get Marauder to proof it before publication.
@Suzianne
Hi Suzianne, one another note, I just wrote a tune for an incredible musician who has stuff on Soundcloud, Philleann, he got that name from the fact he plays Uilleann pipes and many other instruments. Check him out if you get a chance, my choice would be 'The Glass Slipper' an incredible piece. My tune I called Philleann Waltz.
I think you still have my link to SC, up to about 286 tracks there now.

Wake up. Nobody in current US politics is a communist. The democrats are further to the right and far more pro-capitalist that European right-wing parties.
Your fear is making you insane in the membrane.
Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hatred and hatred leads to suffering. And little green monsters should know.
Anyhoo. What I wrote about woke and political correctness is 100% correct. So, instead of deflecting, hang your fears up on the reality of it. Instead of this mistaken surrealistic BS framework they’ve drip-fed you for years.
Know what. Come to Europe. I’ll show you around for 3 or 4 days. Show you what you think you’re afraid of. It will make you a better person.
@shavixmir saidMy my, so angry.

Kamala Harris (VP) one step from presidency, and may well be, Biden fell yesterday....
Get this, from link below, I quote......."Harris has taken some heat in the hours since sharing the video, specifically from those arguing that while equal opportunity was inherently American, equal outcomes would be an example of COMMUNISM by ensuring that each person gets the same result".
House Republican Conference Committee Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who tweeted in response, “Sounds just like Karl Marx. A century of history has shown where that path leads. We all embrace equal opportunity, but government-enforced equality of outcomes is MARXISM.”
Then this......
“It’s about giving people the resources and support they need so that everyone can be on equal footing, and then compete on equal footing. Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place,” she said as the video ended."

Here is a link and a nice little movie of this communist.
I SO MUCH wish you would respond to this in a mature way. You will not.
Please don't go Suzianne-wimp on us and say consider the source, Liz Cheny. The issue is not the source, the issue is what our VP said. You people either miss issues or segue on purpose.
