When you sneeringly write (or say) "woke" or "wokie" or "wokism," what you're doing is telling the world that you're a racist Nazi. People who use some derivative of "woke" as a political insult believe all of the following:
* racism is gone; a thing of the past
* there are no lingering effects of racism
* there is no good public purpose in teaching about how slavery fucked up
the founding of the country
* there is no good public purpose in teaching about racism, both the history
of it and its current effects
* there is no good public purpose in teaching about Jim Crow
* the confederacy was a noble "lost cause"
Those are all lies. Only Nazis believe those lies. People whom Nazis want to castigate and sneer at as "wokies" want to address racism — very real, current
and contemporary racism. The people who call them "wokies" are Nazis, because only Nazis believe the lies about racism being a thing of the past, and that school instruction shouldn't address contemporary racism. School instruction *should* address both contemporary and historical racism, and only Nazis oppose that.
