    In terms of politics not arresting criminals and protecting the public

    it’s like a reverse Robocop
    @Xerobull
    @Salvy
    @basso
    @J.R.
    for example, in Oakland , the DA had a dude who was found guilty of triple murder
    That’s 3 people he killed

    you go woke and make a deal with him
    Maybe because of race or whatever fake reason you want a dude who killed 3 people out on the street

    OH did I mention he’s a gang member?
    Woke woke woke
    Yeah

    Okay. But that means Greg Abbott and Donald Trump are both woke. Abbott wants to pardon a convicted murderer and Trump wants to pardon the January 6 criminals.

    Woke = anything the gop extremists disagree with...........you dont like "X", oh there just woke. It's become the most overused word and the majority use the word to voice their displeasure, so all the other extremists know what they mean. Most cant define what it means to them, they just know its bad

    I think McWhorter makes a case that woke = obnoxious self-righteousness

    he's pretty convincing on the point

    It’s woke
    All these DAs in California are letting criminals go because they fear another defund the police fiasco
    The criminals don’t even fear the police like the old LAPD days
    Training day

    then the ‘shocked’ and woke white woman in the city council women thought those ‘youth’ needed ‘help’ and got her ass beaten and robbed

    If that is the case it should be a nonpartisan, nonpolitical term. I think a definition for how that word has been used merits more specification.

    I think they make that argument at the end of the interview as well--they float the idea of trying to have discussions for a month using no labels . . . "just say what you mean." Sounds like McWhorter is skeptical that people could do it, but it's true (or a truism) that labels are damaging
