"White rage" What has race got to do with the storming of the capital building?

Having a problem with people being woke doesn't make you a racist you know.

It's very easy to associate walking around with treasonous confederacy flags with being white and angry, do you expect him to take hours explaining the last 150 years?

. . . Having a problem with people being woke doesn't make you a racist you know.

Nope, it also suggests narrow-minded paranoia

So does being woke... thinking that the only explanation for anything negative directed towards any minority group must be a result of racism, transphobia etc.

Making wild generalisations is fun eh.

 

[chroniclard]

No but you can bet your bottom dollar most white ragers are a bit racist.

Nope, but I also don't have to respect the opinion of a guy that is probably responsible for the deaths of countless brown people either.

You're being a bit dramatic, it was only suggested that normalising obesity is unhealthy, hardly outrage.

There are so many posts on a weekly basis full of drama and outrage. Most of them from people who claim to be anti woke.

Do you know what "woke" means and if so why would you not be "woke"?

I believe in equality, and being woke goes against equality.

I’m embracing cancel culture and ensuring none of my money goes to any organisation that supports this divisive crap.

A Guardian opinion article full of subjective, click-bait waffle. Why did I click.

I wonder if the ultimate irony is that true equality in nature is impossible, and to continually strive towards it is, in essence, to move further from it.

Adverts across TV and Facebook have become full of Wokery to the point it's happening in every Advert now! Sky News is getting really bad for it with the plight of Ethnics and we all must do "BETTER". Personally I watch things such as Episodes and Movies and don't go by the Colour of their skin or their culture but by how they act in what I'm watching. A good actor will always get a thumbs up from me whoever they are

100% this. I don't know how the hypocrisy doesn't cripple some people on here. The saddest part is that's it's so predictable and dull. Just once, I'd like one of the regulars to surprise me with a little introspection but alas...

 

[VincentHanna]

The point of that was to say the sudden "anti-woke" brigade, including GB News seem well behind the times.

lmao.

As per the dictionary :

The dictionary defines it as “originally: well-informed, up-to-date. Now chiefly: alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice”.

What's wrong with that ?

A lot of people come here for the drama and outrage. And if they don't see enough of it, they create some.

Reason: boredom.

Absolutely nothing...... In theory.

I believe in equality for all, which doesnt include positive discrimination, which is where the woke brigade differ.

It's a terrible thing, especially when it works its way into science.

Thats just not true though. Youre taking a small section of idiots and applying it to everyone.

Ouroboros

Uroboros is a virus in Resident Evil
