The Official "Making America Woke Again" Thread

He's killing trees and adding to the carbon footprint. Next thing you know, he'll be drinking milk and eating red meat from oppressed cows.

Motherfucker!!!

That’s it....let that rage OUT....

Did y'all hear the CNN report? He likes to have the White House fire place lit, and sometimes he'll put a log on the fire- by himself.
Heard he likes ice cream, too.

Pssh. Tell me when they are Worthers Originals in every candy dish.

Why Trumpers need to be listened to. Because liberal and Jesus.

Great fucking think piece from Hedges...

“Those viewing the film were a group convened by the National Student Association and included New Left radicals of the sixties, representing Students for a Democratic Society, the Port Huron group, young white men and women who had led protests at campuses across the country, burned down buildings, coined the term “pigs” to refer to police. Many were from affluent families.

“They were students in or recent graduates of rich and leading colleges and universities,” he writes of the audience. “They were mean and tough but somehow, I sensed that there wasn’t a radical in the bunch. For if they were radical how could they laugh at a poor ignorant farmer who didn’t know his left hand from his right? If they had been radical they would have been weeping, asking what had produced him. And if they had been radical they would not have been sitting, soaking up a film produced for their edification and enjoyment by the Establishment of the establishment — CBS.”

Campbell, who was asked to address the group following the film, said: “My name is Will Campbell. I’m a Baptist preacher. I’m a native of Mississippi. And I’m pro-Klansman because I’m pro-human being.”

Pandemonium erupted in the hall. He was shouted down as a “fascist pig” and a “Mississippi redneck.” Most walked out.

“Just four words uttered — ‘pro-Klansman Mississippi Baptist preacher,’ coupled with one visual image, white, had turned them into everything they thought the Ku Klux Klan to be — hostile, frustrated, angry, violent and irrational,” he writes. “And I was never able to explain to them that pro-Klansman is not the same as pro-Klan. That the former has to do with a person, the other with an ideology.”

There are some good points in there.

Campbell would have reminded us that the demonization of the Trump supporters who stormed the capital is a terrible mistake. He would have reminded us that racial injustice will only be solved with economic justice. He would have called on us to reach out to those who do not think like us, do not speak like us, are ridiculed by polite society, but who suffer the same economic marginalization. He knew that the disparities of wealth, loss of status and hope for the future, coupled with prolonged social dislocation, generated the poisoned solidarity that give rise to groups such as the Klan or the Proud Boys.

We cannot heal wounds we refuse to acknowledge.
...
To understand is not to condone. But if the ruling elites, and their courtiers masquerading as journalists, continue to gleefully erase these people from the media landscape, to attack them as less than human, or as Hillary Clinton called them “deplorables,” while at the same time refusing to address the grotesque social inequality that has left them vulnerable and afraid, it will fuel ever greater levels of extremism and ever greater levels of state repression and censorship.

I don't think that capitalism by itself is the problem, the American corporatocracy's incestuous obsession with short-term profit over building great companies has corrupted capitalism and is a big part of the problem.

China Joe purposely did not say Tibet, aka Western Mountains.

Well, eliminates any debate or doubt that Biden* is bought and paid for by China. Something anyone with a brain saw long before this townhall.

But at least he doesn't tweet mean things.

Gotta say the faux outrage I've been expressing over Grampa Bad Finger's administration is tiresome. How did the Left keep it up for 4+ years over Trump? Were they really that butthurt?

Coke to white employees: Be less white.

Coke to white employees: Be less white.
https://www.kabc.com/news/coke-conducti ... ess-white/

No different than if a company had a program for black employees telling them to “be les black“.

“To be less white is to: Be less oppressive, be less arrogant, be less certain, be less defensive, be less ignorant, be more humble, listen, believe, break with apathy, break with white solidarity,” a slide from the presentation says.

How is not racist to assume that to be white is to be oppressive, arrogant, defensive, ignorant, etc.

Stereotyping someone because of the color of their skin, whether it is dark or light, is wrong.

We're attempting to swing the pendulum past the equilibrium of racial equality.

The worse thing about that is that there's actually some chair-warmer diversity executive that wrote that without giggling.

Whether or not Coca-cola is a proponent of CRT is hard to gauge, but what they are/were doing is playing CYA against lawsuits in having more diversity training. The problem is they picked a course that in and itself is racist.
