    Yep, this is real. Woke. You definitely do not want to exclude criminals from your city!
    do you even read the rubbish you post? they aren't saying they want to be more inclusive of criminals. they want to put away all the fucking big brother signs around the city so people don't think they're being watched everywhere they go. 

    FFS READ. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Nope
    Reading is a fundamental part of awareness,  comprehension, education,  and information.  It is frowned upon by the cult leaders. Got to keep the brainwashed and grifted cultists unaware of reality and the truth.

    I assumed Shecky was saying that minorities and criminals are one in the same. Your reaction is actually much more generous.

    Trump DOJ: Yale’s Medical School Has Way Too Many Black Students

    The administration’s view is that the mere presence of students of color at elite schools is incontrovertible proof of discrimination against white people.


    In April 2025, the Department of Justice launched an investigation into Yale University, accusing its medical school of making admissions decisions based on race and, in so doing, violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964. On Thursday, May 14, the agency published its predictable findings: “Yale discriminated against other applicants to benefit preferred race classes of Black and Hispanic.” About a week earlier, Trump’s DOJ reached the identical conclusion about UCLA School of Medicine. 

    In both cases, there was no real doubt it would do so. The conservative legal movement has spent decades arguing that laws designed to remedy the effects of white supremacy—in education, elections, and elsewhere—require the entrenchment of white supremacy instead. And throughout his second term, Trump has aggressively built on this legal foundation for resegregation. The DOJ’s latest findings treat the mere existence of Black students as legal grounds for threatening a school’s federal funding—a standard that could make other medical schools more reluctant to admit Black students, which would have a devastating impact on the health of Black communities.

    The DOJ first purports to show Yale’s “intent to discriminate” through a review of the medical school’s internal policies and practices. Specifically, the government alleges that Yale conducts interviews “that enable the committee to know applicants’ race and ethnicity,” and considers applicants’ socioeconomic status, which functions as a “racial proxy.” 

    The Trump administration’s smoking-gun evidence for this conclusion is an orientation packet that Yale provided to admissions personnel, which included a “holistic metrics model” produced by the Association of American Medical Colleges, an organization that helps accredit medical schools. The DOJ findings letter complains that AAMC’s model “shows a myriad of factors that appear unrelated to medicine.” And it features an image of AAMC’s graphic, with the most offensive characteristics—“race” and “national origin”—circled in red.

    A good rule of thumb for someone who says they are "anti-woke" is knowing they are at best someone who wants minorities to know their place in society (as subservient and obedient to a white male patriarchal rule and preference) and at worst, not wanting minorities to be in society. Simple as that. We should be suspicious of the Anti-woke crowd.

    I find the word itself stupid; maybe it’s another bastardization of a(nother?) word. I see it as awareness, openness to views that may ruffle feathers, and for me, willingness to share my own should they *gasp!* deviate from others.

    Haven’t read Zinn, sorry. I know them’s fighting words in some parts ;)
    To me the idea of the word woke is to get some types of people to be reflexively aware of when they failing to meet other people's standards or expectations.

    While woke is not exactly what punk was or has been it can have a way of conveying a similar idea when it comes to nonconformity. 

    One thought I have is that since woke decribes concious spacing or a distancing, the woke could describe the kind of people who get tired of big politically blue metropolitian city living and so they move away to a smaller town or a quieter rual area, in order to try to get a break from modern liberal social pressures.

    The term "woke was originally came from African American English used in the 30s, often as "stay woke", meaning to be aware of prejudice.  Today it more broadly refers to an awareness of social inequalities in general including racism, homophobia, sexism, etc.   
    Yes, it is a concept the left identifies with much more so than the right.  But I don't think it has anything to do with people moving out of urban areas.  I'm pretty sure there are still plenty of woke people in modern cities (yes, mild sarcasm).  As for more rural areas, like the one I live in, I would not describe the average person here as "woke".  Good god no.  Oh to be so fortunate were true, haha!
