[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent from a foreign background, this article resonated with me. I feel lost here and feel like I no longer fit in.

As a parent who raised 6 productive members of society, I can unequivocally that given your title you are an idiot.[/quote]

I probably shouldn't have used the term "woke" because it is a cultural lightening rod but I'm human and I make mistakes. I'm not American so I am not with either side of this debate so perhaps the term doesn't have the significance or the meaning it has for me as it does for others - I'm looking at it from the outside in (though admittedly I have lived here for 15 years now so in a way the US is part of me but I'm still an outsider).  You call me an idiot. Did you bother understanding my critique and reading what I said? Calling people you disagree with idiots is part of the problem. It seems like no one is willing to listen to the other side anymore. I'm not even the "other side" I'm just a person looking in. The US has become so tribal that different opinions are not tolerated. I feel lost here. What I loved about America is quickly disappearing. [/quote]

But there isn't a debate. Woke is a term weaponized by the right to signal "black people"

Ultimately the question is, do we as a society values each other, and celebrate the differences we all share, or are we meant to segregate and compartmentalize.

What you are calling "woke" is people coming together and sharing the best of the cultures we come from, and then there are the segregationists, who lost the Civil War and World War II and are now trying it again.[/quote]

Oh my, the Woke Church apparently does not tolerate discusion or debate. Who knew?

Beware OP you're about to be excommunicated, move out of crazy DC while you can :)  :)  :) [/quote]

OP here. Yes that's the problem. They don't accept dissenting opinions even from people (like me) who agree with a lot of what they are saying.[/quote]
