He's probably referring to the black woman owning the Roadhouse. That's Jessica Williams, good actress, she's right there in the quirky/funny, attractive black chick wheelhouse.

And Conor McGregor has probably done at least two cycles of roids while rehabbing his broken ankle.

The owner being a black female. Black lady police officer. Stuff like that. And none of those things on their own represent "woke" necessarily, but really it was the staff that stood out to me as a particularly woke crowd and not the type I'd expect at some hardcore, violent dive bar in southern Florida (outside of the one dude that gets into the knife fight).

I don't normally try to notice shite like that, but it stood out to me for whatever reason. And I'll still watch it just fine. But it was just noticeable.










And I'm not even complaining about it, just commenting that it stood out to me a little.

There's a black person in it. And it's a girl that talks.

This has nothing to do with it, at least not for me. I don't care if there is "a black chick in it who talks." But if there are lots of them in what would normally be a different race or sex, it stands out. I'm not even sure why pointing that out is a bad thing. I'll still watch the shite out of this movie. But at the same time it gave off small scents of woke vibes in the trailer, that's all.
