Agreed, or at least post it as a playlist like they have for other debates. So that is possibly coming.

I'd agree in part because she even missed the the basic origin of the term - woke. Its African American Street slang for "Are you aware of our situation?" Mark Blyth the Scottish professor at Brown U. pointed out a City of Boston study that showed the average white Bostonian has a net wealth (assets & cash less debts) of about $240,000 while the average black Bostonian has a net wealth of $8-- Its a staggering thing to realise that if you just gave a single $10 note to every person of a particular group in a major city in a developed nation that you'd more than double their net wealth. That's what it was about WEALTH DISPARITY. It had nothing to do with the state, with laws, with the police, with education, with gender issues or environmental issues. But that's the part where she is absolutely right. A lot of other interests have HIJACKED or ATTACHED this word to their cause. I actually that that because its something Orwell wrote about in "1984" regarding doublespeak. The purpose of doublespeak was to confuse people with multiple conflicting definitions of words making it almost impossible to formulate ideas.

@gregorytaylor9104 NO A 1000 TIMES NO It was nothing but people saying look at our situation. they didn't give a damn about any political ideology or much else. They were never asking for people to analyze anything. All they asked was for people to open their eyes and look at the situation. WHY TF does every clown have to try and read stuff into things that were never there. The next clown after this girl quoted the Oxford dictionary for "woke." It might represent what some people think or perceive woke means NOW but its NOT what woke meant at the start.
