Thanks to the commenter who reminded me that it's not bad to be reminded that the term is only a pejorative because conservative racists made it so.

Reminder that woke was originally used as a positive term.

    I honestly don't see people using "woke" positively these days.

    I think it's wild that the word 'woke' entirely replaced the selective outrage on the 2010s over "CRT," a bogyman that most white conservatives still cannot define.

    Lol, yeah that was constantly the problem I had back then, especially since MAGA was using "CRT" as the scare word, and not nothing to mention that it means "Critical Race Theory," a phrase well in-line with other subjects in other fields, like Biblical Critical Theory.

    After seeing pixels over years I saw:

    Obviously the fact that you & 66 others just in this thread, and hundreds or thousands online are upset about the superimposition, indicate it was stupid/dishonest. Sigh what else is new w/current admin!
