IMO, most people don't know the meaning of "Woke" and "Critical Race Theory"

These pieces of Republican jargon are mostly used as attack words. They are usually said with a sneer and aimed at something/anything the right wing crazies are against.

I doubt that the majority of people know what the hell Republicans are talking about when they use these terms, but they get the indication that they mean something bad, something "unpatriotic," something "UnAmerican." This is the way propaganda works. Repeat, repeat, and repeat, until far too many people believe some version of the snake oil being sold.

We've all been told "The truth will set you free." Seems to me that truth doesn't stand a chance against the vast Republican propaganda machine that spreads shit across America 24/7.

Until the vast majority of Americans understand that Republicans are "Domestic Enemies," our freedoms, our constitution and our country will be teetering on the brink of totalitarianism.

  • Yes, really. Liberals DO disgust me.
Nice projection Dumbass

Here is the meaning of "woke" and "CRT" in a nutshell..

White man bad and must be blamed for everything wrong in the black community.
Christian white men worse
Christian white men who own guns are worser
Christian white men who own guns are the reason black people should hate white people, never mind the FACT black men SOLD and PROFITED from selling other black men into slavery. That little fact is never mentioned.
Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

As the Great Ronald Reagan said: "How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin."

Now substitute "woke" and "CRT" for "Marx" and "Lenin."
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I'll give Cyrano a half-point for consistency.  I remember in 2008, we were on Armageddon Online and he was ranting against a left-winger who began using the word 'woke' to define readers of sites like Raw Story and Cracked, etc.

Woke means "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". I know what the word means. It's the definition that leftists assign to that word where I take issue. You dolts don't know how to define things properly. Case in point; "... they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." You leftists have completely twisted the meaning of that to suit your own agenda.

So wait, I thought CRT was make believe. I do specifically recall the Morons of the DUmp saying that it was something made up by Conservatives.

Guess not, lurking morons?  :p

The term has adjusted its original meaning over time, as it is almost exclusively used by uptight effete white liberals. When the term "woke" first started appearing online and in print 7 or 8 years ago, I looked up its origins. I'm the inquisitive sort and prefer to know what words are supposed to mean. Woke originally meant that Blacks needed to "stay woke" to be down for racial justice. Naturally white leftists co-opted the term to fit their ideology.

And some semi-famous leftist really stepped in it recently for saying that "woke is a racist slur" used by the right:

Soledad O'Brien declares 'woke' a 'racist slur' in ridiculed tweet: 'Quit reaching'
The ex-CNN anchor told reporters woke is 'a synonym for the n-word'

Journalist Soledad O’Brien alerted reporters on Monday that the term "woke" has now become akin to a "racist slur" or "the n-word."

From her Twitter account, the ex-CNN anchor posted an image of a tweet from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., commenting on the Super Bowl pregame show. Greene wrote, "Chris Stapleton just sang the most beautiful national anthem at the Super Bowl. But we could have gone without the rest of the wokeness."

O’Brien tweeted in response, "So reporters.. for many people ‘woke’ means Black people. Or more likely--a racist slur. So maybe do a better job in interviews when people talk about 'wokeness' mmkay?"

She double downed by saying, "Yeah I've discovered that some people use it as a synonym for the n-word," in response to a Twitter user who wrote, "I never understood what woke means."

Woke also means if you are black, you can spew racial slurs and never be considered racist.
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

I know exactly what 'woke' and CRT mean:

It means " 'SHUT UP', they explained". Just like every variation of istaphobic phobeaphobe does.
"Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice." - John Adams

I'd like leftists to learn how to define fascism. They seem to believe it is absolutely anything they disagree with, which in itself is fascist.

Is there an actual meaning to these phrases? It seems to me they mean what every somebody wants them to mean.
