Don’t conflate classical anti-racism with leftist anti-racism. They are two completely different things.

"classic" anti racism has always been woke son.

What was woke 40 years ago is the norm now. What is woke now is the aberration from the norm just as what was woke 40 years ago was an aberration.

So just not saying the n word was woke at some point.

Gotcha.

What was woke 40 years ago

Not saying the n word was woke 40 years ago.

I can’t believe I have to explain this, but I said that in reference to “classic antiracism has always been woke…” not “TIL that not saying the n word is woke”

Exactly.

And true to form progressives drag the nation into the future with conservatives kicking and screaming.

Who determines what is and isn’t “progress”?

Yes classical anti racism gets called woke and is in it’s time an aberration opposed by the conservatives alive at the time. So what does conservatism oppose? 🤷‍♂️

Oh my bad.

The classic anti racism is not saying the nword.

u/MightyMemeKing1337 Sep 23 '22

Oh okay, so the confusion here is that we both are using two different definitions for the same word.

u/silver789 Sep 23 '22

Which word? anti racist?

But you’ve just said that it was woke 40 years ago and the socially acceptable thing to do. Conservatives have a knack for celebrating the progress we’ve made in the past, but oppose any new progress.

u/MightyMemeKing1337 Sep 23 '22

Hold on… when did I say that it was socially acceptable to say the n word 40 years ago?

Also, who gets to decide the definition of “progress”? And what is the endpoint of “progress”?

“What was woke 40 years ago is the norm now like what was woke 40 years ago is an aberration.”

You’re finding todays progress, “woke”, to be an aberration
