    any proof or are we to believe the usual unsubstantiated Blasterocks?

    The majority of the UK population just want to get on with their life and are afraid of rocking the boat.

    Woke is slowly cruising towards a reckoning.

      Of course they are. That's certainly the narrative they like to present - everyone is woke, racism is rare, debate is over, etc.

        Do you know the origins of the word? As if you did you wouldn't be throwing it around like you are.

          Well as suggested by others when I have raised similar before word meanings change. The original meaning seems to be to awakened to discrimination.

          As racism has changed meaning from overt acts to perception of mistreatment based on your skin colour maybe both have evolved?

          Woke in the UK has only really been common since the BLM farce so to me it means its current meaning of being excessively sensitive based on your perception of the way you or others are treated.

            Perceiving you are treated differently due to your skin colour didn't used to be racism?

              Being treated differently because of your skin colour is racism.

              Believing you are being treated differently because of your skin colour is open to interpretation.

              The missing bit is proof.
