With all the contentiousness revolving around "Woke Culture" in here and IRL, I got to thinking and could it be that we all consider what is being "Woke" and what is not different things?
For me, being "Woke" (and I don't like that term as it, like the PC moniker before it, are being used in a derisive manner) is simple--being thoughtful, considerate and educated on/about the issues of the day and having a willingness to learn more about these things we might not understand as well as we can/should.
Officially Woke is describe thus: “originally: well-informed, up-to-date. Now chiefly: alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice”. No negative connotation. Now, some folks, throw being Woke around as though it's a bad thing. If you're one of these people, please explain why you think being Woke is bad.
Some folks say, the woke crowd refuses to see another point of view. How's that? Please share the views the woke are refusing to see. Specifically, thanks. Because I don't see how a Woke person does anything ELSE but try and see all points of view and then make make better choices.
If you do share and your POV/Opinion gets questioned, support your argument, win that debate through reason and logic, use stats (odd thig on a Fantasy Sports site, right?) link articles anything to help those Woke Folk see your perspective.
As of now, I hear only vague, general criticisms about the PC/Woke Culture and no real hard, substantiated, issues.
That's all--And may you/them have a great day.
