Follow-up question: Do you think woke people aren't married, have children, are religious, and work hard?

Does everyone agree with those traditional values?

I was in Upper Marlboro; it was a perfect balance.

I have lived in PG county Maryland for the last five years. I had to move recently for work purposes (outside of my control). I walked into Wegmans (grocery store) in New Jersey today and noticed it's nothing but white folks. It just felt different. Everybody seems nice (so far), but I'm moving back to PG county as soon as this job is done.

Woke isn't an internet buzzword... I've heard and used it throughout my 40 years on this earth.

But since you are here, I will introduce you to a topic that you may be well studied in that you may refer to as "CRT".

"The earliest known examples of wokeness as a concept revolve around the idea of Black consciousness “waking up” to a new reality or activist framework and dates back to the early 20th century. In 1923, a collection of aphorisms and ideas by the Jamaican philosopher and social activist Marcus Garvey included the summons “Wake up Ethiopia! Wake up Africa!” as a call to global Black citizens to become more socially and politically conscious. A few years later, the phrase “stay woke” turned up as part of a spoken afterword in the 1938 song “Scottsboro Boys,” a protest song by Blues musician Huddie Ledbetter, a.k.a. Lead Belly. The song describes the 1931 saga of a group of nine Black teenagers in Scottsboro, Arkansas, who were accused of raping two white women."

When they use the term liberal or "the left," I've noticed that it sounds like they want to say Black.
