I said I thought it was an overcorrection, which I can speak on as a Black person because we, alone, get to decide how we feel personally about something that could be racist or offensive.
I did NOT say anything about “being woke” being an issue or a problem EVER.

What y’all NOT gon’ do is infer that I believe — or EVER said — that being cognizant of the hate and racism and micro-aggressions in this white-supremacy-fueled nation is a bad thing.
An #OverCorrection means folks CARED about not being hateful
#BeingWOKE is the GOAL.

#BeingWoke & the use of the word #Woke was OUR thing. WE told each other to #StayWoke. It was OUR way of encouraging & reminding each other that better can come if we stay vigilant & focused on moving forward despite the hate.

As long as I am Black in AmeriKKKa, I will #StayWoke and encourage everyone who cares about others to do the same.
Seeing color, calling out foolishness and being anti-racist is the goal.
In doing that, there will be overcorrections.
I spoke simply on that.
