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.
