Comments by "Steve Parker" (@steveparker8065) on "How Did the Word 'Woke' Become So Politicized?" video.

I don't seem to be able to type this without being filtered "Stay woke was an African-American term the origins of which can be traced back to 1938 and the blues performer Lead Belly. It was a term used to warn African-Americans to be aware of social prejudice and their history of being marginalised and discriminated against. It became the shortened 'woke' during the civil rights movement and was simply a term to describe an African-American aware of their history. Now it has been hyped up by the media and the far right to include anything they don't like..." So ill try in quotes...

@jackaljade Reread my comment and accept it's media hype. The term is being abused to demonise anything to do with freedom, equality and decency.

Here's the complete explanation for the hard of thinking "Stay woke was an African-American term the origins of which can be traced back to 1938 and the blues performer Lead Belly. It was a term used to warn African-Americans to be aware of social prejudice and their history of being marginalised and discriminated against. It became the shortened 'woke' during the civil rights movement and was simply a term to describe an African-American aware of their history. Now it has been hyped up by the media and the far right to include anything they don't like.." Nothing to do with economic or political ideology, it's just being used as a catchall phrase to demonise anyone with decency and morality...

@jackaljade lol, you have no idea about M and clearly don't understand the huge conflation and contradiction. PS Reading Marx doesn't necessarily make some a M, in the same way reading Dumbo doesn't necessarily make you... An elephant...

@jackaljade It's impossible to argue with ignorance and a lack of logic and reason on that scale. Your conflations defy the laws of even mental gymnastics. Trying to debate you would be like trying to teach a fish calligraphy...

@jackaljade Like I said, trying to debate you would mean correcting all your conflicts and conflations plus your lack of understanding and logic. Therefore even before I try to debate I'd have to spend 3 decades correcting your erroneous beliefs. About as pointless as an ashtray on the international space station...

@jackaljade The left don't use the term and I'm bored of your childlike understanding of the world. It's like trying to teach a frog to use an Xbox...
