Me personally, I don't understand exactly how this term became common. It's amazing what things social media can amplify, good or bad.

I don't understand what people are saying when they use the word "woke" exactly. When we as black people use it, it simply means alert. Don't get comfortable. As a black man in America, I can't ever really say I feel comfortable when I'm outside of my home. I'm not afraid. But I'm not comfortable. Shit can go south quickly, and for no reason.

But I digress, if anything, I'm alarmed and slightly offended when words that we use in our culture somehow go mainstream, and then turn into these...Things...That leave me confused.

Critical race theory should just be called history. What they say, it's true. We all know it. The bias and prejudice present during slavery didn't go away just because it was abolished. We don't have to talk history. He's a homeowner now, but when my brother got his last apartment, he was told, "No." Sent his girlfriend in there, who is white, and she was told "Yes." When they both walked in together, the clerk stood there in a scent of shame and anger. This wasn't 1915. This was 2015. In Tennessee no less.

Too many talking heads and not enough listening heads on social media, and in general. The internet has data, but making information takes work. Now we have AI to contend with, and I can't imagine it getting any better. Woke my ass lol.
