Define "woke"

Conservative writer embarrasses herself trying to define 'woke'

https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/bethany-mandel-woke-video-the-hill-rcna75165

Bethany Mandel appeared on The Hill's "Rising" to rail against so-called wokeness. But she couldn't
even define it when asked to do so.

If you know conservative writer Bethany Mandel at all, it's possible you remember her going viral for tweeting a rather
disturbing image of a soiled mask as part of a bizarre rant against wearing masks during the pandemic.

Now, we can add one more viral infraction to the Mandel log. Appearing on The Hill's "Rising" web series on Tuesday,
Mandel ranted about the purported dangers of "wokeness" — that is, the Black slang term Republicans have appropriated
to denote things they don't like, from truthful, inclusive education to Disney, the FBI and beyond.


As we've discussed in the past, before many Black people discarded the term because it had grown stale,
and before white conservatives tried to turn it into a bad thing, "woke" was a term meant to signal cultural awareness or consciousness.

But when "Rising" host Briahna Joy Gray asked for a definition of "woke" ... well, Mandel struggled quite a bit:

Yikes. Pray for Bethany (or whatever Republicans say when something bad-yet-avoidable happens).

As I mentioned in the Instagram post below, Mandel's flop shows conservatives have so perverted the term "woke"
that they can't even define it on their own terms.

 
“Cleanliness has historically been used as a cultural gatekeeping mechanism to reinforce status distinctions based on a vague understanding of “niceness”: nice people, with nice yards, in nice houses, make for nice neighborhoods.

“What lies beneath the surface of this anti-messiness, pro-niceness stance is a history of classist, racist and sexist social structures. In my research, influencers who produce pantry porn are predominantly white women who demonstrate what it looks like to maintain a “nice” home by creating a new status symbol: the perfectly organized, fully stocked pantry.”

I can't even imagine what you were googling when you stumbled upon this and thought it was relevant.

You make a good point. Witness how black men are criticized if they wear saggy pants.
 
And its largely true but for the most part who cares if they like black culture. Turns out their own people turn on them pretty quick for that cardinal sin.
 
It's ironic that people who refuse to define 'woke' have no problem with demanding that others must define 'woman'.

Woke has been defined by multiple people on this thread. People just don’t like or agree with those definitions.
 
In conservative circles it's an over used right wing catch phrase and idiot beacon. A current favorite of smug morons who lean fascist.
 
Woke people believe in diversity of race and sexual orientation. They rarely believe in diversity of opinion.

At least you admit your racism and sexism. That's something to be proud of. You value your opinion over equal rights granted by our Constitution. I am proud to be "woke" if that is the definition
