(14,370 posts)The problem lies with white liberal Democrats who cannot overcome their "Intellectual bias'
against the use of African American Vernacular to encapsulate the energy of the justice movement.
It is not the concept of "Wokeness" they have an issue with; it is the actual term. They would prefer, perhaps, Awakened.
IN this, they express the last vestiges of deeply buried racism and bias within themselves and the Democratic party.
Carville is a prime example of this. Time to drag that shit out into the sunlight and let it die. Stop hiding behind white intellectualism and admit to the kernel of racism that still exists within the party. I remember the uproar over "Ebonics" in the eighties. Same shit, different year. Cultural bias is cultural bias, period.
Let's stop dividing and start uniting.
