A quick thread on "Woke" and, what it truly means, why the right hates it, and why Judaism is woke as hell.
Let's do this. #Thread #threadstorytimes #threadstory #woke #wokeaf #wokementality
Now, I'll first state that as a Caucasian American Jew of Ashkenazi descent, I can speak to this aspect of American life knowing that I live with a great deal of white privilege. As an assimilated Reform Jew, I can blend into the white Christian world easily to avoid conflict./1
There are Jews who make the decision to wear Jewish ritual object (keepot/ tallit) that make them targets of antisemitism. However, a black American does not face the existential crises that white Jews do, as black Americans CANNOT hide their background and are always targets./2

wut is @rickriordan thinking??

"Saying 'I am not racist!' is simply declaring that you deny your own biases and refuse to work on them."🤦

assuming fans are racist cuz they don't like a casting choice is insane, who is giving this guy PR advice??

It is doubly painful cuz I know how hard @rickriordan worked to land a faithful adaptation of his books,

to watch him stab himself in the back over the dumbest of reasons is too much pain for me to bear watching

How 1 brave esports host sacrificed her multi-million dollar network, career & the careers of her associates to complain about imaginary misogyny🔦

OH.....& how she mentioned G4 hosts don't play the games they have to review😬 #gaming #G4TV #gamers
Gaming world spiraled into outrage earlier this month when Indiana @Froskurinn Black, host of Comcasts new gaming network @G4TV lectured viewers on finding her less “bangable” than previous hosts

Lecture so shrill & destructive,
Must be seen to be believed👀
@FDRLST #frosk #rant
Outburst racked up millions of views across social media & gaming outlets covering the story

Old fans of G4, unaware the network had relaunched, were blasted w/ the decadent state of their old favs 😵‍💫

We celebrate that dance is a place where people of different backgrounds can come together around a common love for self expression through movement. But we are watching our dance communities crumble under the divisive ideology of critical theory/identity politics.
There are still racial injustices in the world. We believe that the best way to fight them is to work together as a community and as equals, regardless of skin color, sex, sexual orientation, gender, etc.
We see the racism happening in the classic sense, but we also see the racism happening within woke ideology and we are standing apart from it.

1/ Dear #SocialJustice warrior,

You are #woke but you're not awake.

Since the beginning of time there have been those who seek to gain power or maintain power. This is a sad fact of life. There is truth to the #GameOfThrones
2/ For those of you who are #woke yet asleep-

There are those who powerless & become bitter.
There are those who are powerful & become greedy.
There are those who fight for the powerless & become caught in the powerful's web.
3/ You say you're #woke because you fight for #SocialJustice -causes that seem fair and equitable

-against inequality, rich vs. poor, white vs. black, male vs. female...

That sounds great.

Until the light filters beneath your lids & you begin to ask questions...

I believe that one time is a fluke, and two or more times is a pattern. There is a systematic play afoot to silence Black journalists. It is intentional. You have to ask yourself why, and by whom. Follow along with me in this thread.
Back in April, @ministter of @MakeItPlain was initially suspended and then left @SIRIUSXM altogether. An incident occurred involving someone who identifies as A D O S. Some believe that group has ties to those who want to influence the 2020 election.

Around the same time, @MalcolmNance was silenced at @msnbc. Malcolm has been extremely vocal about those who want to influence the 2020 election. The hashtag #WhereIsMalcolmNance was created if you want to dive in further there.
