I get confused by the term woke

I take it as being responsive and taking action to opinions and actions of others because of others sexist, prejudiced, racist or homophobic views

However I do think and I hope noone comes at me for this comment that although people should not be treated(treat?) with discrimination. Sometimes people want attention and take things a bit too far with their views when someone's opinion wasnt meant in a certain way.

For example if I said I love yellow on black women more than white women. If someone took that comment to mean black woman should only wear yellow then come at me for that comment when I was being complimentary. That's when people get annoyed at "woke"

Thank heavens I sleep too much to be woke.

[bots]

i'm not sure which hacks me off the most if i'm honest, everything being called woke for outrage or the genuine woke behaviour of some people

No they think they are left. Aren't you paying attention at all?

It's just bigots trying to demonise common decency really.

... but then they plaster "WOKE WATCH" across the bottom of the screen which just makes it look like more silly, divisive nonsense. If they want to be taken seriously as a professional news channel, they need to start acting like one, and get rid of the tabloid attention-grabbers.

They should have received a jail sentence for not bothering to crop the GB flag to stop it extending over the clear boundary of the image. Sloppy.

Do you not agree that the argument would be more effective in terms of doing anything other than "preaching to the choir", if it didn't have WOKE WATCH written across the bottom?

A bit pointless if the only people clapping are the people who already thought the same, no?

if the msm on tv are not covering this then no

but this channel is no different to any commercial channel that provide content that will get an audience and ad revenue

I suppose I'd have to argue that an echo chamber is closer to entertainment than news... but I suppose some people find "comfort viewing" in a nice big dose of confirmation bias. Not limited to GB News, to be fair. Each to their own.

Arista stop being a weirdo because I said team the other day. I've been respectful of your weatherspoons news thread.

what is weird is you resorting to name-calling because you feel threatened by a news channel

It's etiquette, LT. Arista goes mental at any perceived slight in a thread, so asking him to be consistent isn't name-calling or a threat, and I'll be happy to explain this to Parm when he finishes off the discussion on your behalf again.

Even this thread, I set out some rules to try and have a discussion - they used to be popular on here before the trolls took over, but you can't help yourself. As I said the other day, it's just boring now - the act is well worn and tired.

USA :University of Michigan
is blasted as 'parochial and moronic' after 'woke' IT task force
bans words like 'picnic,' 'brown bag' and 'blacklist' for
being offensive and harming morale

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...offensive.html


What the hell is wrong with the word "Picnic"
Slim?

[Ammi]

…the DM are outraged over this 6 month old story and want to share their outrage and spread the outrage word because of their interest in the university of Michigan…but the more recent story of historical abuse against a former professor of the university against multiple students at the time…no such articles of concern from the DM…

…the DM don’t know who your university are…they don’t know about you but they’re looking for WOKE and they can tell you, they may not have true stories but what they do have is a very particular set of WOKE STORY SEEKING SKILLS…skills that they’ve acquired over a very long OUTRAGE career…skills that make their stories a nightmare for people like you…if you let that WOKE go now, that might be the end of them because they might run out of woke manipulating…but they’ll still look for woke and they’ll still pursue woke and they’ll still find woke and they’ll KILL woke…
