Needed: Counterpart to 'Woke'

He also doesn't have a weird laugh and that makes all the difference.

The riots in 2014 was where the word was "first adopted"??? That's what you said.

Wrong. I said that that is when this word first entered the mainstream lexicon.

What you said and what I responded to:

No, it was first adopted as a "slur" because for one it is just a ridiculous sounding word and second, it was used in earnest by people with ridiculous positions that were ripe for ridicule.

Read more carefully.

No, it was first adopted as a "slur" because for one it is just a ridiculous sounding word and second, it was used in earnest by people with ridiculous positions that were ripe for ridicule.

[emphasis changed]
This sentence was talking about when the term "woke" was adopted as a "slur", i.e. as a term of ridicule by those critiquing those who labeled themselves as "woke". That happened after the 2014 riots.

It would be plain to see above but you conveniently and deliberately did not include the quote that demonstrated that. A very dishonest debate tactic if you ask me.

No, I clarified what I wrote in this thread on this topic. Clarifying my position is not dishonest.

I then demonstrated how the word was really first adopted by black culture of the 1930s.

Nobody was disputing that though, least of all I.

The only way you could actually have been right was by totally dismissing the origin in black culture. I wish that was something that was beneath you but considering your statements in this thread about woke and BLM I highy doubt it.

I did no such thing.
Again:
- term "woke" was invented sometime around 1930s in the black community.
- during the 2014 #BLM riots, the term "woke" entered the mainstream lexicon through its use by #BLM activists.
- sometime after that, the term "woke" was used as a term of derision by those who were critical of those who used the term in earnest, i.e. the #BLM activists and fellow travelers.

All clear now?
