| I think a lot people react to the exhaustion of the implication that until 0-5 years ago no white people in America had any notion or understanding of this, which is wildly inaccurate and short-sighted. I'm not here to have a whole debate on the term or the extent of the good or bad the term and the way the "woke" movement moves or voices itself etc, there's an e enormous amount of work and progress still to do... but it's the implication that no one knew there was any systemic oppression, or that all or most white people are automatically in an active colonial mindset until woken up by social media posts that many who are progressive but cringe at "woke" are reacting to. |
