His approach to discourse is admirable. He's woke, which I'm not a fan of, but he's respectful and has so much empathy for people who disagree with him that one can't help but respect and admire that.
He doesn't actually know what he's talking about. He's flailing around trying to reconcile what the word actually meant with Republicans deciding to make it a trigger word for reactionaries.
He can't just say "I don't like him because I've been told to not like him", but that's functionally what it boils down to.
Look, considering you don't know what wokeness is, I'll spell it out for you: wokeness is critical theory, which states that, among other things, inequality is inherently bad or wrong, and must be rectified. You don't need to adhere to critical theory to observe that such inequalities exist though.
Since your issue is with critical race theory, and you have stated in multiple comments that the problem with critical race theory is that it says inequality and hierarchy is bad, specifically when it comes to race, I guess its safe to assume you are a racist, then?
If you adhere to CRT, I'm sure you would agree, even though I'm black, since under the CRT framework, it's not about hating races, but not advocating for equality of outcomes across ethnic lines. And this is how you get stuff like "conservatism is white supremacy" and whatnot.
It's all a bit silly, but if you're down with the silliness, go ahead. Call me, a black man, racist for disagreeing with Donald Glover, a man I greatly respect.
I think a variety of levels of pay depending on job position, effort, or skill is a great example. Not all jobs are equal, so they should not all yield the same amount of pay.
I highly doubt you've never tried methamphetamine. Every racist pretending to be black when they're called out for racism on the Internet is big into it at some point in their lives.
If we're both the lens of wokeness I'd agree, even though I'm a black dude, as under that framework it's inequality, not discrimination, that is racism.
How can wokeness be a specific academic concept? That doesn't make sense, CRT is CRT and it's just an academic lens. And what's wrong with it anyway? Do you just not like acknowledging that America has the deck stacked against black people and really doesn't want to change that? Why do you think it's good to suppress an academic lens like CRT? What would you prefer is taught instead of that?
But what are some examples of social inequalities that are not inherently bad? Your other examples are not social inequalities. You're looking at something like suggesting what kinds of systematic racism are good actually, not looking at things like the difference in pay between an engineer and a janitor.
What a weird link. Also it's wrong. The dictionary says aware of social and political issues, especially racism This word is often used in a disapproving way by people who think that some other people are too easily upset about these issues, or talk too much about them in a way that does not change anything.
You should do more reading so you don't come across like a dumb ass online.
No I don't live in that shit hole country thank God lol. Corporations are people and money is free speech.
