It’s a no win situation with the woke.
Doesn’t stop at race, it’s anything that doesn’t fit the their subjective view of the world at that minute.

I'm not a liberal. Seriously.
I'm just not an idiot who believes whites are the most oppressed people in this country. That takes a level of idiocy that I can't even fathom.
I'm not woke. I'm highly against cancel culture. I'm very pro free speech. But come on guys....
We've gone from "it's not a racist country" to "its not a systemic racist country" to "its only racist against white people" to "its ONLY racist against white men." What's next, the only racism is against white airline pilot men that wear cowboy boots?

I got stopped for walking in a nice black neighborhood in ATL because the residents reported a “suspicious white guy”, according to the cop. My wife got a kick out of that.
My wife has been stopped by the police a number of times for being…a speeder! Then she used her feminine charm to get out of the ticket. She didn’t freak out, blame race or play the victim. She complied with officers’ instructions, admitted her guilt and was respectful.
Often times non-compliance escalates the situation. When that happens enough times officers get conditioned to expect it.

Black guy gets stopped in a white neighborhood, it’s “racist” because he shouldn’t be stopped as a black man in a white neighborhood
White guy gets stopped in a black neighborhood…
Wait, white guy gets mugged and shot in that neighborhood, and it’s his fault that neighborhood is bad because of racial inequalities he created. White guy gets blamed for his own injuries, as he should have been more sensitive and woke to the struggles of the area he was in.

No one ever argued there isn't racism against white people!
I'm pushing back on the idea that there isn't racism at all. Or that the ONLY racism is against white men.

This is generally the most dangerous "modern" definition you can have for what should be obvious reasons. I think most level headed people on both sides would agree.......

None of you know what woke is until you've watched this 37 times with your toddler

Lol. You have no idea what racism is evidently. Becoming familiar with how black people were treated from the time they were captured in their native lands and brutally shipped to America until not too long ago will give you a better understanding of what racism truly is. In the mean time I'll continue to laugh out loud at American airline pilots whining and crying because some black person or female or transgender was hired before them.

I like your signature line... "be excellent to each other." Lets leave it at that, y'all. Thread Closed
