Social Was UFC 306 woke??

[honzo]

So this is not woke because Trump? Are you kidding me?

They start talking about this colonialism shit like it's a real thing and will end up saying "free palestine" and that little kid that Belal helps wasn't hiding a Hamas base in his legs.

Didn't they edit pro Palestinian speeches from a ppv?

I wouldn't say it was woke but I really wished I could have fast forwarded some of it. There was A LOT of "historic" filler. The thing ended up lasted about 4 hours. Finally ended past 2am on the east coast.

We hate cancel culture but we must cancel "woke" whatever that means. Fucking dorks.

You cannot cancel ideas, but they can be put where they belong. The self described wokes on the other hand are a bunch of Chads and Stacys.

It's almost like you read some guide on Reddit, "Here's how to debate people who are anti-woke. Step 1..." And the second someone goes off script you are utterly lost. I gave you a concrete example. Care to explain why Kaepernick's essay isn't woke? Is one essay too much homework for you?

Perhaps you'd like to skip ahead to what is so obviously your preformulated sermon on why #woke is a concept without value.

huh?

What are you rambling about now? I asked you, define woke.

how hard is that?
You keep typing bullshit instead of answering the question. Say you dont know, but you dont have to type anymore gibberish bullshit



WHAT DOES WOKE MEAN ??

Is the essay beyond your comprehension?

The time between fights was right at about 22 minutes. I know this because I watched an episode of Late Night Lockup on HBO Max between the last three fights. Fight ends, I turn on show, show ends as the next fight is beginning. It did go too late, but it was an entertaining evening for me.

You sir are simply an ignoramus

I asked you define something maybe 5 times now?

The reason you cant answer, is because, you have no clue.

You respond "look for an essay" and ramble about some other bullshit.

but ABSOLUTELY refuse to answer a simple question,.



You have no idea what woke is,and are shockingly obtuse at obscuring that fact

Ill stop asking, because, you clearly have no idea.



"da woke. da woke. da woke"

cheers

Would you be comforted by a Wiki link?

Kaepernick's essay conveys the woke philosophy and mindset. It's a detailed, specific response. It doesn't get more specific. It appears you are incapable of processing concrete information.

 

[Madmick]

No platform more comprehensively defines what is #woke than this one. I was debating it ad nauseum in its original form as far back as 2015:

Vision for Black Lives - M4BL

Black life and dignity require Black political will and power. Despite constant exploitation and perpetual oppression, Black people have bravely and brilliantly been a driving force pushing toward collective liberation. In recent years, we have taken to the streets, launched massive campaigns...

m4bl.org

I don't expect a low-information poster like @ermac88 to process this. No answer could be more specific and comprehensive.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

In that case why did they not call themselves woke?

They did

 

[Bend NvR Break]

It doesn't mean what it used to mean when it was part of Black American vernacular. Since it's been co opted by white liberals it now means a bunch of weird stupid shit. But what else is new lol.

I can agree with this. But seeing how I'm a black (first generation Jamaican-American) man I haven't moved from the original definition.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

What bs were they saying about colonialism? Might as well run a Kamala ad. What the hell was that?

EDIT: Can't reply since they moved the thread here and I don't have 500 posts. I just want to say you guys were TRIGGERED. Bunch of snowflakes.

The videos were celebrating Mexican Independence Day. Not everything has to be considered "woke". You guys take that shit too far tbh. I see that word used just as much as that other over used word... legend

Like what famous ones?

I only here hear right wing nut jobs use the term. You can’t say liberals are cooping something bc a bunch of rednecks call them that.

Edit: wait, I’ve got a simpsons quote for this too-

I'd have to take you back to the 1970s and explain the push for black progression. Woke isn't something new.

White progs using it is.

Not really. If someone is using the word woke it's usually a conservative trying to demonize the word. The word only entered mainstream America's vernacular when conservatives were demonizing CRT whenever they guy in front of a microphone. Before that for about 40/50 years it was used in black circles as a way if saying "stay aware. Don't get lullabied to sleep."

After that it transformed into this umbrella of nonsense which ultimately comes down it meaning whatever the speaker wants it to mean.

If you forget abut the mid 10s when white progs were using it.

Source for this claim and a sound reason why it should be considered relevant considering it as over a decade ago?

I guess 16 is irrelevant since it was almost a decade ago.
