(7,403 posts)This is a new term to me since January 20, 2021. I don't believe we have a common definition of the word yet. Here is the internet definition.
Wokeness encompasses the need to search for more knowledge, understanding and truth in order to challenge injustice. The actor and the politician met in a display of mutual wokeness. Wokeness has to be about more than just saying the right thing.
That sounds like a good thing to me so why is it getting bashed as though it is some evil thing. Getting to the bottom of something and then acting on the findings is exactly how we should be doing things. So why are all of these alarm bells ringing? Ignorance?
Oh, the actor/politician definition seems to fit the definition of "admiration" much better than "wokeness".
