Always on Camera appropriated woke like the rethugs. Saying dumb crap like defund the police wasn't woke. It was dumb and selfish and stopped the momentum of Black Lives Matter. We see you, girl. You can speak at a Selma Black church, but you are still not beating the allegations.🤷🏿‍♀️

It's honestly so crazy to me that we're facing a technological revolution that could displace millions of jobs in the middle of a housing affordability crisis and every day we talk about whether a trans woman is playing sports or if someone has a non-Anglo name.

Attn white people - stop using woke. I 1st heard the word a decade? ago, & thought "yeah, I feel like I'm woke". Then I learned it originated w/ Black people. So ya know what I did? I listened to (& went looking for) what my Black mutuals were explaining about it. AND I SHUT THE HELL UP

Non-Black people...this Woke 1...Woke 2...whatever is white people's culture vulture bullshit. Black people are openly laughing and rolling our eyes at the white men pontificating about it.

So, trying to understand the widespread furor over AOC quoting a Black man's joking take ("Woke 1") regarding what were possibly reactionary takes made mainstream during 2020-1 during pandemic vs. now. I'm seeing lots of people I respect upset and I want to know what I'm missing.
