"Woke" is the current RW equivalent for the N-word

[vlyons]

Sometimes gussied up with an accompanying "socialist" and/or LGBTQ. But basically woke is meant to equate every bit of African-American history, heros, accomplishments, and unique culture as godless, ugly, unAmerican, unpatriotic, unworthy, and deserving of annihilation.

I'm so tired of it. But alas, it seems that RWers have latched onto it with a frenzy. So I guess I'll just have to deal with as best I can. How do you deal with it?

1. You posted this a while back and I didn't understand the correlation then either.

[Tree-Hugger]

2. Yep

Yep, they use "woke" in the place of the slurs they really want to say.

[Zeitghost]

3. It's not rase based

I see it hurled at white liberals for the most part. It's the new version of libtard or similar slurs.

4. I would agree with that. ...nt

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. I have used the retort.."I refuse to be Willfully Ignorant" to counter RW criticism.

In person or online when confronting the term "WOKE" when referring to being informed, well read, and educated. Shuts them right up and exposes them to be the opposite of where I am at.

6. according to the traitor republicans definition of Woke - imbecile republicans are Woke

they ban and cancel things they don't like

they change decent traditions

[SheltieLover]

7. Also used to include "new fangled hippy shit"

You know, things like being conscious of energy consumption & generally caring about our beautiful planet.

[JackSabbath]

8. I disagree

REPUBLICAN is the new 'n' word

[LexVegas]

10. Uh...what? nt

[LuckyCharms]

9. I tend to agree with your comment.

As how to deal with it? I don't know.

I'm white, and I'm a proud liberal. But people don't normally give me any crap about it, because I'm quiet, until they expose themselves.

Then, I embarrass them unmercifully.

No one has called me "woke" yet. So I've thought about this. Have I not been called "woke" because I am white, or is it because they know I won't take their shit? I don't know.

But I'm talking about real life here, not social media. I was on Facebook for quite some time, until my own "beloved" cousins started calling me a libtard, and told me to "open my eyes" and "grow up" after I scolded them for their racist remarks. I told them all to fuck off and left Facebook permanently years ago. I've never been on twitter.

If someone even begins to start shit with me about "libtards" or any of that stuff in real life, I usually just give them a look that says "Not with me, you don't", and they change the subject.

11. No it is not!

Seriously, the 2 are nothing alike.

[Polybius]

12. I don't agree

The n-word is an offensive, ugly word that is now banned on TV and many media outlets.

[central scrutinizer]

13. It replaces "political correctness"

Repugs struggle with words of more than one syllable.

[Walleye]

16. That's it. You got it

15. Welcome to DU. n/t

[SYFROYH]

17. Erykah Badu disgarees with them.

I'm not if this is the first usage of "stay woke" to describe an awakening of awareness of racial injustice and action, but it's beautiful.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

18. I love the legal definition of woke
