    2024: The Year To Cancel 'Wokeness' In America

    [​IMG]

    'Stop doing business with people who hate you and your values...'

    Wokeness Is Orwellian–and Everywhere
    'The woke crowd in America is loud, proud, and ... Stalinesque. It’s literally forcing communism down our collective throats.'

    They are hateful and diabolically anti-freedom and liberty.

    'Worse, these extremely intolerant people are seemingly everywhere—from your coffee shop and your bank and your 401k investments to the shows you pay to watch on your smart television. They’re in the boardrooms of corporate America; they run our schools, colleges, and universities that celebrate transgenderism and make indentured servants of their graduates, and are in Human Resources departments to ensure that no independent thought or idea is expressed in the workplace.'

    'A big part of the woke movement’s success lies in its Orwellian distortion of language so that commonly understood meanings of words are inverted to mean the opposite. For example, words such as “tolerance” really mean intolerance of competing ideas and values, and “inclusion” found in the common woke phrase “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” or DEI, really means excluding traditional ideas, values, and beliefs.'

    Yes - "Tolerance" means Intolerance. "Inclusion" means Exclusion.

    'DEI is a woke term that’s misleading and un-American, but saturates our K-12 schools. The diversity component applies to every application and interpretation possible—race, ethnicity, sexual orientation—except for straight, white Christian people, over-represented Asian people, and the ideas that are the foundation of America and Western Civilization. No one in the woke DEI crowd wants to “include” politically or culturally conservative Americans in anything except re-education camps.'

    And if we threaten to beat them in an election they want to prosecute and incarcerate us. They think anything they don't like should be a crime. They don't like Christians, Jews, Vets that vote GOP, Homeschoolers, people who drive pickups and SUV's, those that won't get jabbed, admit to only two genders, and who won't wax hysterical over CO^2, and who exercise their natural right to lethal self-defense. In short, they hate a lot of us, especially if you are White and Male.

    The thing we need to remember is that they only have the power that we grant them. Figure out who they are find alternatives to do business with. The linked article has several examples. Please discuss.

    So, social justice should be rendered illegal then because you don't like what they say?

    Again, how do you define wokeness? or Woke? We have LGBTQ who are going to be represented in movies, shows, commercials, etc. They are customers too, and allowing them to be represented in entertainment, work, and other areas is not woke, it is reality. We did this with African Americans who began to get lead roles instead of the stereotypical roles they used to have. Same with Asians and Hispanics. Is that woke too? How about mixed racial couples? Is that woke too?

    Fake news, we're not the folks claiming that everything we don't like is a 'crime'. I called for voluntary boycotts not criminal charges. Do try to read what you are responding to so that you stay caught up with the rest of the group.

    woke started out nice as it was basically based on acceptance and somehow evolved into "conform or die" mentality. At this point its boring and not "new" anymore. I call 2025 the year wokeness dyes as 2024 is the year it slowly fizzles.

    No just certain things like abortion, abortion, LGBTQ, and your "cultural wars" that you tend to create out of thin air on the internet and beyond.

    Wait, is woke still a thing old boomer rightists are afraid of? That's a losing issue for them, so I encourage the GOP to stay the course. LOL

    DEI isn't racist. It is a program to make all feel welcome, especially minorities in a dominant culture.

    DEI used be called the EEOC office, but changed its name in the Obama Administration. Most universities will still have the programs that DEI offers, just not called DEI.

    Let's make it real simple if you wish to lead your own life without government hindrance as much as possible vote republican. If you want the government to run your life for you to the greatest extent possible vote Democrat.

    Why would a woman vote Republican who will diminish women's healthcare from contraceptives being banned to medical necessity abortions because the GOP is interfering with patient-physician privileges?

    Why would anyone with gender dysphoria have medical issues because the GOP wants to interfere with that patient-physician privledges?

    Why would anyone who is not a Christian vote Republican when the GOP embraces Christian nationalism, which will make certain Christian viewpoints the official "state religion." Again, the GOP is all about inserting control by government to how we worship if it is not Christianity.

    Then we have the "posioning the blood of our nation" arguments where anyone who is not white is not allowed to come in legally. Again, trying to interfere with people who may want to marry someone who is not white.

    And then the GOP is in full monty of totalitarian regime with Trump at the helm of the GOP and that will bring more government interference into pretty much everything we do.

    I have, and even the thread "How do you define woke?" But this thread is like most others, pure political BS. I am just asking the question again when people are making unfounded accusations all over the place without anything definitive. In other words, those posters have their heads up their arses, pure and simple.

    Yet you leftists can be presented with a very clear and concise definition like what a man and woman is and still can’t figure it out, so let’s not pretend like having one in this case will do any of you any good whatsoever when the fundamental problem with each of you is actually found in that very word: fundamental.

    And you "rightists" can too, except you will use phrases like "fake news" when facts don't agree with your political idealogy or motives. Shall we talk about January 6th? Donald Trump's statements on pretty much everything and some people hold them to be 100% accurate in anything and everything he says, and so forth.

    But that is not the issue here and you are deflecting from the real cause. Diversity is not your enemy here, it is your friend, and yet, some of you guys are so afraid of diversity and change that you go with the "great replacement theory" and think you are being replaced. So, again, why is inclusion so wrong with your guys by a group of people you don't like or even understand? I am not arguing nor demanding you be like them, just respect them for who and what they are without preconceptions, assumptions, or anything else. You might learn something. Thus, this is not "leftist" anything, just human nature, which differences can bring people together more often than drive them apart. They can be driven apart by people like you who insist on those preconceptions, assumptions, and lack of understanding to fill several Libraries of Alexandria's in one lifetime.

    What a pantload. Contraceptives and abortafacients are different things.
    There is no such thing as Christian nationalism.
    People with gender diasphoria need therapy not surgery, And not so-called gender affirming care which is little more than a giant money grab.

    Republicans "'Stop doing business with people who hate you and your values...'"

    this means if a corporation supports a group of people you don't like, corps want to sell to everyone, all people, republicans are against this

    If you had a real point you wouldn't have to invent one. Republicans widely support OVER THE COUNTER CONTRACEPTIVES which Big Pharma blocks because it's a cash cow.

    Weird, I found this about five seconds, yet you are doing the totally oblivious thing"

      A Bipartisan Majority of Voters Support Expanding Access to Birth Control
      Notably, we find support among voters across parties: Democrats by a +60-point margin, Independents by a +44-point margin, and Republicans by a +32-point margin. We also find consistent support for over-the-counter birth control by gender. Women and men support this proposal by a +49-point margin and a +45-point margin, respectively.

      Over-the-counter contraceptives gaining Republican support
      Tillis became the latest in a series of Republican Senate candidates to support over-the-counter contraceptives. Three others, Colorado's Cory Gardner, Minnesota's Mike McFadden and...
    Republicans are learning, too slowly, that while voters may agree with them on abortion they do not want excessive prohibitions on abortion. They need to adopt something closer to 9th amendment in the first half, 10th amendment in the second half.
    If the problem is between your ears, taking a knife to between the legs is not the solution, though Big Med and Big Pharma make a boatload of money out of destroying these young folks with a mental disorder, that is aggravated and groomed by Big Education.
    You are making things up again.
    Wow, you almost got through an entire sentence without making up another smear. We don't want ANYONE coming in illegally.
    There you go again. Name 5 GOP Lawmakers trying to racially control marriage.

    DEI Is Racist Because Racism Is Racism

    '@Harvard
    '34 Harvard student organizations, early on the morning of October 8th before Israel had taken any military actions in Gaza, came out publicly in support of Hamas, a globally recognized terrorist organization, holding Israel ‘solely responsible’ for Hamas’ barbaric and heinous acts.'

    That's because they have been indoctrinated in DEI racism.

    'President Gay’s initial statement about the massacre provided more context (!) for the student groups’ statement of support for terrorism. The protests began as pro-Palestine and then became anti-Israel. Shortly, thereafter, antisemitism exploded on campus as protesters who violated Harvard’s own codes of conduct were emboldened by the lack of enforcement of Harvard’s rules, and kept testing the limits on how aggressive, intimidating, and disruptive they could be to Jewish and Israeli students, and the student body at large. Antisemitism remains a simmering source of hate even at our best universities among a subset of students.'

    Indoctrinate into DEI and you are indoctrinating into HATE.

    Gandi and MLK brought a message of unity through our common humanity.
    DEI preaches and evil message of division, with factional cohesion based on a common enemy; Christians, Jews, Republicans, White Males.

    And you seem to think that by simply denying this, that you evade consequences, but everyone can see what is happening.

    'the root cause of antisemitism at Harvard was an ideology that had been promulgated on campus, an oppressor/oppressed framework, that provided the intellectual bulwark behind the protests, helping to generate anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hate speech and harassment.'

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/2023/12/31/dei_is_on_the_run_614960.html#!

    'Diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, in higher education was deceptively sold as a set of policies designed to promote "the fair treatment and full participation of all people," particularly groups that "have historically been underrepresented." But DEI offices have proved to be epicenters of division and ideological conformity, stirring hostilities and imposing an intolerant monoculture.'

    DEI Is in the ICU

    Code red: DEI is in the ICU
    'Opposition to programs based on racial discrimination is mounting'

    Americans are about fed up with this racist divisive crap.

    Like the Chief Justice says:

    IF YOU WANT TO STOP DISCRIMINATION BY RACE,
    YOU NEED TO STOP DISCRIMINATING BY RACE.

    The wounded racist 'was wheeled into the intensive care unit when the Supreme Court undermined a crucial foundation for DEI and related affirmative action programs. The decision came in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and a similar case against the University of North Carolina. SCOTUS ruled the universities were illegally discriminating when their admissions favored some minorities and effectively penalized others. Neither public nor private universities had the right to do that.'

    They most certainly do not. Such discrimination is UnAmerican.

    'Those lawsuits were brought against universities on behalf of Asian-Americans, but their victory has reverberated through the world of corporations, non-profits and government agencies. That’s not surprising since those institutions have a host of programs and practices similar to those at Harvard and UNC. They, too, discriminate in hiring and promotion, in hopes their “affirmative” policies will create more inclusive, racially-diverse workplaces. One question sure to reach the High Court is whether these programs are illegal.'

    The programs create more hostile, racial-divisions and wider public resentment.

    No. Her name plate deserves no more respect than a homeless guy gives to the city sidewalk.

    RACE CARD DECLINED: Claudine Gay Made a Career of Attacking Black Scholars. Don’t Defend Her for Being Black.

    'The demand that Gay resign stems from the utter lack of moral competency she displayed in her testimony before Congress, in which she said that calling for the genocide of Jews is only against Harvard rules in certain contexts. She also failed to condemn the Hamas atrocities against Israel in real time on October 7, another reason she should resign. There is also now evidence of serial plagiarism. And did I mention Gay has published no books—an unprecedented feat for a Harvard President, unless one travels back in time to the year 1773? . . .'

    She targeted Black Male Professors

    'Did you know that Claudine Gay during her Harvard career has repeatedly targeted and disrupted the careers of prominent Black male professors? As Dean of the College, Gay terminated Ronald S. Sullivan, Jr. as Faculty Dean of the Winthrop House. Professor Sullivan, Jr., a graduate of Morehouse College and Harvard Law School, was the first Black faculty dean of a house in the history of Harvard College.'

    The American Ethic that EVERYONE is entitled to a legal defense goes all the way back to our Colonial days when future President John Adams defended British troops that had fired into a crowd of Colonists. He defended them strongly and ably.

    'What was Professor Sullivan’s offense? Sullivan deigned to represent the disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein—an act of moral conscience, since all are entitled to legal representation in our legal system. Yet legal conscience mattered not to Claudine Gay, who terminated a race pioneer for doing his civic duty.'

    This DEI Nutcase Gay, claims the label "Liberal" and has no concept of what American Liberalism is. American Liberalism has a bedrock principle that EVERYONE is entitled to a vigorous and capable legal defense. She's a racist authoritarian nitwit that was never fit for the position she held.

    'You may excuse this heartless termination as a one-off. You would be wrong. Economics Professor Roland G. Fryer, Jr. was next in the sights of Dean Gay. Fryer was a top Black professor at Harvard. After having overcome all sorts of hardship and childhood deprivation, Professor Fryer joined the faculty at Harvard to become the second-youngest professor ever to be awarded tenure at Harvard, and went on to blaze a trail of distinction, including winning the MacArthur Fellowship and the John Bates Clark Medal.'

    Another Black Man dared to measure DEI propaganda against real world evidence and find it wanting.

    'Yet when Fryer undertook research into the killings of unarmed Black men in Houston, Fryer’s research found no racial disparities. He made the mistake of undercutting the racial narrative that the Left has adopted, and as a result, Gay did her best to remove all of his academic privileges, coordinating a witch hunt against him. Fryer survived Gay’s crusade of discharge but Fryer’s lab was shut down, his reputation tarnished.'

    She should have never gotten this far.

    'No one in good faith should defend President Gay because she is the first Black president of Harvard. Even if you don’t agree with me that our racial struggle is in our past, someone who has targeted Black male professors has waived any benefit of the “first Black” defense.'

    'To be fair, no one in good faith is defending her.'

    Exactly.

    Israel is the most diverse country in the region. The rest of the region has been cleansed. I would boycott those countries, but I can't think of anything useful they make.
