But should I be hung for laughing at a red-neck joke, or a dumb-blonde joke? Or dating a dumb blonde?
Is there a statute of limitations for behavior decades ago?
I think that's the woke line most reasonable people start to balk at.
I think the counterpoint is that woke, in the main, is not some humorless lockstep of overreaction. I think that's why misusing the term is perceived as stereotyping. Sometimes woke does just mean aware, and knowledgeable of why some minorities joined the footrace carrying twenty pound weights in each hand. It simply means understanding that all effects of discrimination don't vanish when, on the sixth lap, they're permitted to drop the weights.
But how is that different than "sometimes conservative just means--------" or "sometimes liberal just means------"?
The problemthat many of us have with the woke is the proselytizing nature of the constituency.
The issue YOU have with woke is people pointing out your racism, Forrest.The zealotry that is used to critique the use of pronouns or the reading "Lolita" or watching a Woody Allen movie is entirely off-putting, heavy-handed, and demonstrates the exact same intolerance that the wokies preach others represent. Such reactionary behavior[ ] brings to mind the Cultural Revolution of China in the 1960's,[/b] and that is something that I find leads to book-burning and worse.
I will point you to your thumbs up regarding banks's Hitler post, hypocrite. Let me know when you get sent to a re-education camp. I'll stand up for you then. Otherwise you are just bitching about having your conduct pointed out, and your being held accountable for it.
No. You just call anyone who disagrees with you a racist, Kuntzler.
No Forrest. Just people like you. You know, actual racists.
We all understand how lawyers weaponize language to lie and distort reality, but your personal smear campaign has gotten old.
It's very much like that same, lazy tired old move you keep trying in the bedroom that your wife keeps ignoring.
Try something new, because that one doesn't work, Kuntzler.
Your creative seed has dried up.
