That's the free space on the "edgy word salad" bingo card. You're going to have to write out a few more of those phrases to actually win the crappy clock-radio.

What is woke culture? Isn’t culture an attractive part of melting pot places like NYC or SF?

That’s not what woke culture is. Here’s an example in California: the state has formed a commission to investigate paying reparations to slave descendants. Why? Because of BLM in 2020. Knee jerk Twitter politics running the state.

Edit: some replies saying reparations are nothing new. Yes, reparations have been discussed before. When we say “before”, we mean a long time ago. The current discussions are not the same continuous discussions from before, but new ones that came out of BLM riots of 2020. Show me California’s reparations task force before 2020. Also, this task force according to NPR is the “first in the nation”: https://www.npr.org/2022/03/30/1089629383/california-group-v...

The conversation around reparations dates back to the Civil War, it’s not some new trendy idea. The aim is to fix an injustice done by the US to millions of people. CA should not do this on its own, but with the lack of leadership in Washington you can see why a state might step up to try and fix past inequalities.

You can disagree about how the US should make amends, but it’s very wrong to present this is a recent conversation.

Reparations has been a thing for a very long time. It's hardly knee jerk.

Slavery was and still is a vile concept.

Frederick Douglass talked about reparations a century back.

So your issue is something you have no control over? I am not sure you’ll be happy anywhere. Where did you come from?
