Am I Woke?

[Turkeytop]

Yes.... If you want to be totally left you gotta get totally woke man...

I think I have already been totally left behind.

You can call it woke. I call it just not being an asshole.

Cashier at the grocery store last night is "transitioning". Doesn't affect my paycheck. Didn't affect my grocery order. Scanned my items, had some convo, paid my bill, off I went. I'm just accepting and don't want to repeat the same mistakes as prior generations. If it bothers you that much, well, Idk what to tell you. Something something freedom and something something rights.

Pretty much…

Are some of these people so well off they don’t need to worry about themselves and can use this much energy trying to control other peoples behavior?

This is my outlook on life. I've just seen an uptick of people acting like A-holes in the past few years, I don't have time for small minds and grown adults acting like self centered cry babies. I deal with enough of these ding dongs at my job.

People who run there mouths the most have the least amount say and all these political signs I see all over the place, my own view is I don't give &^% who you vote for.

Furthermore, if I owned a business, I would have a no politics and no religion rule in the work place, as well as if you want to park your car/truck in my lot, no political bumper stickers or flags of any kind. Going off topic but it all contributes to this whole toxic culture that has emerged in recent years.

Hey, if someone wants to be called "they", it doesn't fuck up my day. If someone was Justin and is now Justine, hey, enjoy it. I'm still gonna drive home to my house, see my wife and kids and dogs, eat dinner, go to bed, go to work, etc., etc.

You mean your life won’t end? You must share this secret to success.

You mean that fake litter boxes in classrooms don’t mean more than telling kids gay people don’t exist? What a concept!

To answer TT's original question - in order to become woke, you must first accept that you have white privilege. If you can't accept that by being white, you were born with an unfair advantage in life, then you can never be woke.

[Mega Hertz]

You know what it is?

I just pick my battles. Can't get pissy about every last little thing in life. A woman I don't know having a medical procedure that has nothing to do with me or my 5 year old not wanting to go to bed on time. Which one am I going to deal with? I've been through the wringer in life, man. Choices.

Oh yes. I have white privilege. I discovered it the day a Georgia cop stopped me for speeding. He didn't call for backup. He didn't approach my car with his gun drawn. He didn't make me get out of the car. Didn't pat me down. Didn't search my vehicle.

He just took my license and my registration back to his cruiser. He came back about ten minutes later, handed me my ticket and told me to "drive carefully Sir."

That's not the conduct I observe when they stop a black driver.

So, am I woke?

They saw an Ontario plate and knew our TT was harmless.

I was always told growing up to " Choose your battles". Personally I think the whole transferred thing is weird as all get out but I'm not going dislike somebody because of it or call them names. It's there life, not mine.

Without going into it, I've dealt with some real pieces of crap, in terms of people in my life over time. So I despise bullies and don't act like one.

I have met many assholes that are white, black straight, gay, tranny, foreign, etc., etc., etc. I much prefer dogs to people for the most part.

"Woke" is taking the lady off the syrup bottles
"Woke" is taking the Native American woman off the tubs of butter/margarine
"Woke" is letting adult biological men who feel like a woman compete against adult biological women in high skilled athletic competitions
"Woke" is addressing someone as "they" instead of their given name and biological gender
"Woke" is screaming for Law Enforcement to be defunded
"Woke" is designated "safe spaces" and "no Caucasians allowed" spaces as well
"Woke" is when all else fails and no other choice, pull "the card" and all blame falls on Whitey no matter how wrong the offending party is...
"Woke" is the attempt at "CRT" being introduced into Public schools to teach that all Caucasians are inherently racist and the issues/problems and troubles of other ethnicities are all the cause of the racist behavior and treatment from the White man...
That's "Woke"
I await stupid replies....
