Woke is white arrogance

[Politesse]

It was about LD justifying some Wokester who called Zoid bad and ignorant for using one of two nearly synonymous words.

That did not happen. Your straw man is really stupid.

If I mistook Politesse or someone for you, I apologize.

I'm getting tired of getting vaguely name-dropped as a "baddie". If you have a specific complaint to lodge, lodge it.

Tomc likes me but seems to mislabel me a lot. Soo....

I believe I used the term "smugly self righteous".

Which does seem strange to me. I've known you for a very long time. I was already well familiar with you when Secular Cafe started, I'm sure you were on Seebs board, we might go back to IIDB. You never struck me like that before TFT.

ETA ~For most of those years, I really liked you. I still do, somewhat. But you've come to resemble some of my conservative Christian relatives and acquaintances.~

If I were you, I'd be insulted to be confused with me. On the other hand, I was honored to be confused with you.

I think one thing I have learned from this thread is that there is quite a bit of white arrogance floating around that has nothing to do with being "Woke".

It appears I mistook both of you for KeepTalking.
You Wokesters all sound alike.

If I can't figure out the correct terminology to signal that I'm an ally then I'm not the problem.

Yes, you totally are the problem.

LOL. And you can't see how this isn't pure poison? You are never going to make the world a better place spewing that much hate

I'm sorry I used you as an example. But I needed one and you're pretty much king/queen of woke in this forum. Imho. That's why I used you as an example. You make a lot of posts. There's a theme in what you say.

Its not slander. It's simply a question of different values. I respect you for sticking to your guns. But I rarely agree with you.

The lab escape theory of Whiteness.

 

[untermensche]

Just as stupid as thinking there is a difference in inherent intelligence between races.

And only talking about tests created by white people.

I have no hate. I just think your name is farty mcfartface because I can't figure out the correct terminology for your actual name. I'm not the problem. Quit hating on me.

And here we have another illustration of what Woke means to me.

Dude, stop jamming up the fax machine with your 1990s sentimentality. "All these 'woke' whippersnappers with their pants below their underwear!!"

I am honored. I doubt Keep Talking is.

Perhaps you need to nap more.

Okay, everyone. It's time we figured out exactly what 'Woke' means because we now have at least 4 definitions being used.

1. aware of, and concerned about, social issues such as racism and social justice

2. smugly arrogant, fatuous, and overbearing, especially when expounding on the topic of social justice

3. people who call out people who are too lazy to even try to remember correct names and terms aka Miss Manners wannabes

4. white arrogance

Anyone want to submit another definition or refine one of the above?

 

[untermensche]

You will find that "woke" is just the latest term from the insane right that means nothing more than "I don't like policies that help people and the people who promote those policies".

It is more insanity from the lockstep right to pretend they have real criticisms of policies from the left.

It's actually a term from the insane left. It was started by people like this Jezebel writer in the aftermath of Ferguson insurrection.

Anecdotal and meaningless.

Here we have a real widespread problem:

The general consensus on TFT appears to be that the NFL owners are willing to take a big financial hit to support racism.
I doubt that's true.

That's also assuming that not hiring Kaep because of his extremist leftist political positions is "supporting racism". If NFL let go a white 1/4-back who was an extreme rightist, people on here would be applauding. The only difference is that Nike would be dropping him too, instead of letting him dictate what products they make, like they did with Kaep.

I think that's just an example of definition 1.
