Le duke Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 A smart Democrat running for president would call out the woke culture and promise to shut it down. What is “woke”, exactly? It’s painfully obvious what Aldean was going for with his video. “Anti-woke” Florida just passed a bill that stipulates that students must be taught that slaves were taught valuable life skills.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Woke" isn't remotely a culture - it's a political movement. And it is based on a sketchy foundation. IMO, it isn't helpful. Promising to "shut it down"? No, not that. The US allows people to follow their own political paths. It's part of what the country was built on. Political efforts shouldn't be hindered or "shut down" - that's what the commies do. Not us.

How is that going to work out for the posse, if I decide to defend myself?Also, the congressional districts where lynchings happened in great numbers are deep red, currently.

It’s a popular shooting location outside of Nashville… I suppose the TV show Hannah Montana could’ve been subliminally condoning lynching to tweens.

There are a million examples of “gangster rap” that explicitly call for violence, but here are a couple infamous ones that “just” potentially incite violence against police (no reason to post the lyrics): In 2021, Billboard called “Fu*k Tha Police” by NWA the #190 song of all time… up from #425 in 2004. Time Warner defended “Cop Killer” by Body Count/Ice T in an editorial in the WSJ, and it was roundly defended as free speech as H.W. Bush railed against it. Then we have Eminem’s “Guilty Conscience” which checks off several boxes of despicable behavior, and it was nominated for a Grammy. I won’t post the lyrics.

But - is your point also that this "Aldean" example should get a pass because it is more of the same? Sounds like a kid saying, "but the other kids did it first!" I'd like to think otherwise. Calling for violence doesn't need to be tolerated. It shouldn't have been before either, but we can't change history. Our best option is to limit it as best we can. Starting now. The internet is a giant echo chamber that takes calls for violence and calls for hate and amplifies them many times over. That isn't something we had before. But we do now. Different tactics are in order if we truly want to make society better. (Those tactics don't include using political party affiliation to divide us - that only hinders progress, but you know that.)
