"Peter" has some thoughts on the "Woke Movement."
The Woke warriors are waging war on America.
In the Woke world there is “Good Racism” that excludes whites from college dorms, safe spaces and Federal Aid programs. It prioritizes the illegal immigrant over the citizen. It rationalizes such actions as payback for perceived past sins of the whites, thus accusing the whites of today of being responsible for the sins of their ancestors hundreds of years ago.
The Woke brigade believes Americans are spoiled and should be paying much more for gasoline, heating and air conditioning. They believe the national debt doesn’t matter because we can just print more money to pay for it.
The Wokes believe that rich people who bribe a college dean should go to prison, but a black person who loots or murders or burns down buildings should not. Ideology must determine prosecutions, not the law. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is a prime example of a woke devotee.
The Wokes don’t acknowledge hypocrisy. They want to tell you how to live while living in mansions within gated communities. Elitists and social justice warriors see no hypocrisy in travelling in private jets or luxury cars, while whining about fossil fuels and carbon footprints.
The Wokes like homelessness and the border crisis for the same reason: it distracts attention from what they are really doing to further their agenda, spending trillions of dollars for left wing causes disguised as infrastructure and paid for by us taxpayers.
The Silicon Valley reign of terror is wokeness at its worst. Rational thought must be strangled in its cradle or people might catch on to what’s really going on. Free speech must be throttled.
Any cultural construct that is founded on bad grammar (Ebonics) is doomed to failure because it's leaders are too ignorant to lead.

Woke is smoke and mirrors to distract from the Marxist takeover of the government. Woke's brother in arms is unfounded Racism charges.

The only ones who are racists are the ones who hate Asians, Hispanics, whites, Americans, Christians, Jews and Chicago Cubs. (Oops, sorry about that). Those of us who dislike Islam are not racists, we’re just enlightened.

Nothing has changed since the Watts Riots and the Newark Riots. One would think it would get better over the years, but same old story.

Nothing has changed in 50 years, or 150 years, because the people haven't changed...gimme, gimme, gimme!

So, the verdict is in and its just what the a**h***s wanted, what we ALL wanted. Will the rioters pack up and go home? Will BLM stop coercing donations from businesses? Will left-wing politicians quit trying to defund the police? Fat chance!

Continuing wit Franklin's insightful comment nothing has changed. Have to say in the words of Captain Renault from "Casablanca" - "I'm shocked - SHOCKED!!" there wasn't a ¡CELEBRATION! not unlike the Detroit Pistons victory riots ¡Celebrating!.....

Gunny - BLM has followed and learned from the most insidious race baiting hustler in grifting and shaking down for capital gain - the one and only mumble-mouth rerund Jack-sun. Coke, Delta and all the bed-wetting corporations have jumped onboard. Let's look at their next quarterly reports.

The Woke Brigade is trending on Twitter and Facebook that Senator Tim Scott is "Uncle Tim." The Woke Brigade is now cancelled. Good riddance.

The Woke Brigade now includes Disney. The Walt Disney Company is asking all its employees to sign an acknowledgment that the Company's official policy now includes Critical Race Theory and the "fact" of white privilege. People of color will henceforth go to the front of the line in matters of hiring and promotion. Those employees with opposing views will be asked to leave so as to make room for minorities. Wokeness is running amok in the U.S. corporate world.
