sharewoke GENREALLY means "Down with the white male patriarchy running everything!"
ignoring that the white male patriarchy also CREATED and BUILT everything all groups enjoy - this is stats and facts and numbers, not racism. it's similar to noting that MOST (never all) players in football and basket ball are black. again stats and facts and numbers, not racism. why? because these groups are good at what they are doing
whomever can complain they didn't allow others to make it, but it is what it is, isn't it? if the rest were better at creating and building, then they would have done so. that hasn't happened.
America, for the most part, is about as free for everyone as it gets. Opportunites are out there, just got to step up and put in the effort. I've seen many, MANY prominent black successful business men AND women, chinse CEOs.... every group that whines, has has some shining example of themselves who has succeeded amazingly well by working at it instead of whining about it.
There are stereotypes, and profiles about peoples. These exist... BECAUSE they exist. They are not made up. They are defined by numbers, observations, things you and I can personally observe because it is reality.
Real people look past race and embrace everybody. Whiners cry that something isn't fair while better people step up and take their cheese.
GOOD...SO YOU WILL NOT BE POSTING ABOUT WOKE BULLSHIT ANYMORE...GOOD FOR YOU.

Kind of like the lottery. You don't actually think you're gonna win, you just buy into it in case you're one of the lucky ones. Every lottery has some shining example of someone who won millions of dollars.
the ones I know personally WORKED HARD for it.
likewise, not all white guys are million aires.... but there are many that worked hard for it
Definition of woke: awareness about important social issues.
What the definition has turned into: a large chunk of wokists hating white people, straight people, catholics, police and anti-abortionists. In turn, this has created anti-wokists who will automatically discredit social issues because of that large chunk of people who act that way.
That's a.......really good summary lol
shareYea. It also documents how easily people rationalize their prejudices - lookatthatthoseotherguys...
What is discouraging to me is how easily, rhetorically, attempts to REFORM prejudices, or simply take a look at past injustices can be weaponized by the haters, generally abetted by half-wits who take an idea to an absurd degree and go about antagonizing people needlessly - on either 'side' of these issues.
Yeah, you nailed it too. It's why dialogue can be so challenging, because so few people are actually interested in doing so. And that rationalization you speak of...I also see that problematic bias elsewhere:
How often have you seen when Person A, will agree with Person B and/or disagree with Person C, REGARDLESS of how logically convincing B vs C is.
That's why I call out people, EVEN IF THEY'RE ARGUING ON MY SIDE. Because they're still in the wrong. And by the same coin, I'm not gonna trash someone else simply because they are on the separate side of the argument from me.
Basically, people are creating their own friends and enemies in their head, and aren't really being rational in appraising how ppl are actually behaving or speaking.
SMALL CHUNK*...OTHERWISE I SECOND THAT DEFINITION.
shareThis really should be on the politics board not GD.
shareComatose
shareControversial question - does it matter?
shareMethinks this discussion is better suited to the Politics board...
shareThat place is dead quiet, wonder why?
shareMaybe they finally all bored each other to death over there.
shareEveryone is tired of them, socks included.
shareYeah, too much of it spills over into GD, itâs all just going to get ugly so isolate it elsewhere.
We finally got rain up here btw, but too late for everyoneâs yards to look so great!
Howâs your heat, have you cooled off a bit?
Actually, weâve been on the 80s to low 90s for weeks now with heavy rain every other afternoon. I have a rain gage and we got 2â just earlier today. Itâs been one of those summers where everything is growing like crazy. One odd thing is we havenât had any hurricanes come this way yet, and I even prepped early this year expecting the worst. Iâm keeping my fingers crossed.
Have yâall had a fall cool snap yet?
Thatâs great for your garden, it must be tough on you.
Yes, itâs definitely cooled down here, weâve been pretty comfortable even with a really janky 14 year old central A/CâŠ
That replacement has got to wait âtil next yearđł!
