Sen. Whitehouse tells the truth about GOP’s anti-‘woke’ smoke screen

“Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat, just gave a perfect summary of what Republicans hope to achieve with their misuse of the term “woke.”“

Let’s ask ChatGPT what “Woke” means….

What does Woke mean?

“The term “woke” originated in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) as a term for being aware of social and political injustices and issues related to race and social inequality. It has since been adopted more broadly as a way of describing an individual or group’s awareness of various social issues, such as gender inequality, LGBTQ rights, and environmental concerns. Being “woke” generally implies an understanding of and willingness to address systemic problems and challenges faced by marginalized communities. It has also been used more broadly as a way of describing a person who is politically or socially aware and active.”
