      Remind me again Who give black people the Right to VOTE ??? Republican with 0 Democrat voting for it WHAT?
      go listen to Malcolm X the difference between a conservative and a liberal.
      Democrats have always been the the racist party still is
      why don't we have Voter ID Democrats think black people are to dumb to figure out how to get one why there more white people in BLM then black people OH Democrats think black people are to dumb to stand up for themselves. THAT CALLED Racist
      It may come to a shocker to you but the only thing difference between them and you. is skin color that it. Well kind of There probably little smarter then you. there going to get you to pay for them to sit on there butts Reparations.
      Who fought to end slavery WHITE PEOPLE die on the battlefield for there Freedom Reparations for who the white poeple family members who die on the battlefield fighting for black people freedom Black people Reparations was there freedom.

      "WOKENESS"🤔 refers to a contemporary ideology rooted in Critical Theory, race, and identity politics, often infused with elements of Marxism, which emphasizes a hierarchical view of victim-hood and collective identity. This ideology tends to prioritize group identities over individual agency, leading to an overemphasis on identity categories such as race, gender, and sexual orientation. Critics argue that "wokeness" fosters a culture of victim-hood, promotes intolerance towards differing viewpoints (commonly known as "cancel culture"), and undermines the principles of individualism and meritocracy. Furthermore, it is often associated with policies and practices that prioritize diversity over qualifications, potentially leading to reverse discrimination and the devaluation of excellence and achievement.

      @spitflamez 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Woke is African American vernacular for awake. Stay woke means pay attention. You got caught sleepin means you were not paying attention, hence the old Hip Hop Slang, “don’t sleep”. Woke was used by Blues musician Leadbelly to warn Blacks about Southern racist towns in the 1930s. I only heard Black people use woke until racist Whites started mocking the Black slang and activism. MAGA has made woke some whole other stuff as a form of Scapegoating. Black people even use woke at church for being spiritually aware while someone who is sleep is spiritually dead. When I hear people mock woke, I just shake my head like wow.

      Because it is the way that should be. It has become normal to them. They do not want to wake up and want to continue doing things that would cause harm to themselves, the planet, and everything. They don’t see the harm, they only see what their Ego says to them because it works and it feels good, and easy. I am with you on this one but I do not yet see myself as “woke”. People do things for reason, and they are entitled to do so. I am against injustice too but there will always be alternatives to fighting it as long as you are on the Light Side, fighting for Humanity, God and Virtue.

    Are the woke organization about equal rights for all, or just for the new things they want to be amended in the system. I got to ask because what I see are things getting worst, which we have groups of today to me it looks like the college kids just need new things to argue about. Because college kids need to have something that put them in front as the young generation revolution thing. That make sense only to the young generation, and those who helped to promote the movement thing. Which is always a break away from the legal game, to add in all kinds of other things, but ignore the violations that already taking place that keep the country moving into the insane. So what is woke, and who are the ones leading the new name. Is it all liberals, who agenda is a liberal thing, then it cannot be what they say the organization about. It's not a Marxist things, a Constitution thing, or a Socialist thing. It just a liberal thing that the college kids love using different movements names. Who leaders do to much reading, and not enough of looking within our design to see it is also not a capitalistic game, or a constitution name. The whole system is riding off the word game, but behind the scene it's nothing but a artificial thing we learn to adjust to as the real life game. The breaking down of the system, is because we in love with what we talk negative about, is why we cannot change the things that going on in our life game. We always hear about a virus that comes in our life, and hear how it get taken care of. We hear about what bad weather does to our life, and we hear how things been taken care of. We hear the promises from every high officials that take over the range to control our country, and see the country get worst every year. Only show that the economic life to them is harder than all the disasters that come into our life, or they want it to stay that way. So what is the reason for all these organizations are about, when decades, and centuries life is still moving the same. To me it look like it just a money game because to many ego's, with arrogance to their game. How can that be for us all as a whole to bring about a change.
