examples of woke culture

[Curmudgeon]

The guy that voices Cleveland on Family Guy steps down to allow a black guy to voice a black character, Halle Berry declines a role as a trans person cuz she still likes the D.

Feels like the "Spanish Inqusition" bit on Monty Python.

What other great examples of woke culture have you seen?

I once had a dream that I knew someone who had a cousin whose sister’s best friend’s brother’s stepson’s real mother’s boyfriend dressed up as a black man for Halloween.
I am truly sorry.

Thank you for being a stunning and brave example for the rest of us.

I've noticed recently that Black is capitlized and white is not. Deliberately. Why? Well, Blacks have a special culture and Whites. Shit! I mean whites don't. Also White is associated with hate groups. Yet another example of the racial double standard that is I believe a core reason race in this country is being torn apart and brand new divisions created. None of this looks like equality to me.

The Times has changed its style on the term’s usage to better reflect a shared cultural identity. Here’s what led to that decision.

Why we capitalize ‘Black’ (and not ‘white’)

<p>At the Columbia Journalism Review, we capitalize Black, and not white, when referring to groups in racial, ethnic, or cultural terms. For many people, Black reflects a shared sense of identity and community. White carries a different set of meanings; capitalizing the word in this context...

The only thing that really mattes is culture. We should be celebrating certain cultures of people who act like decent human beings, and don't burn down houses and shoot eight year olds.

Race has become too much of a focus. Culture should be the focus.

See, this is where you're wrong. You've been oppressing POC's for far too long, as have your imperialist ancestors.

Say what you will about Steve Bannon but he was right when he said that all politics is downstream of culture. And like you said, it's not a "white" or "black" culture that really matters. It's a culture that embraces hard work, frugality, and making good rational decisions that succeeds. Basically cultures that embrace the 7 cardinal virtues seem to do reasonably well regardless of color. Those that embrace the 7 deadly sins not so much.

 

[Catskillkid]

As far as examples of woke culture go, frankly almost every TV show and movie has a diverse cast simply for the sake of diversity and not because they add anything to the story. Watch the new Star Wars movies for that. Oh, and pretty much all the old, heterosexual, white dudes are always the bad guys.

He's also big on Strauss and Howes generational theory. We should be smack dab in the middle of a 4th turning right now and it sure as hell feels like it. It's only going to continue to get worse.

I noticed that as well. Hundreds of stories written the way you explained. I never really paid much attention to it until recently, now, I go out of my way to type, White and black.

It is the least that I can do.

There is a movement brewing to cancel the musical Hamilton because he made money on the slave trade. Even more comical because of the wokeness of the cast and crew.

Good I hope it succeeds.

I really don't care if the "B" in black is capitalized or not. But I think if I were a black person I'd be a bit insulted that my people and culture would be considered a monolith. White... sorry..."w"hite culture certainly isn't.

If I were a black American, I would be insulted if people referred to me as a "black American" or an African American. Never understood why those Americans are called those two names.

I do not refer to myself as a White American. I am more Danish American people Han most are African American, why use that term?

I've been saying it for I think years on these boards, but this is why conservatives need to code and build the future that (some) on the left are trying to destroy.

If you believe in free speech, code.

Trey Parker is stepping down from being the voice of Mr Hankey on Southpark. I do not watch the show, never have.

Not sure who Mr. Henkey is?





A brown hunk of poop.

Good ole Trey says this is a character of color and should be voiced by a POC.

It is a talking hunk of shit!
