The larger the company you work for, Woke white people live in a huge bubble of safety and applies to people who are just as confused and unaware and who latch on to sound bites that they hear from others with little to no understanding of the actual state of things. The problem is that, as usual, these people are often the loudest, most obnoxious, and vociferous in their opinions.

What’s the point of this post? Does OP think these people do not truly exist in any significant numbers?

Yes, I know several.

They mean well but are misguided.

Bingo. HR departments are all woke.

Wokeism is a mob activity. Its not something individuals even think about. When you trade your own beliefs for the collective, you become woke.

I'm surrounded and beset by them at all times. Not an exaggeration. I would be easier to ask me if I interact with anyone who doesn't profess to be socially progressive.

I know quite a few from law school as well as several teachers at the charter school I'm on the board of.

I know many, unfortunately. Most were formally somewhat normal Libs who boarded the crazy train with all the rest.

Yes and the main ones I know were either upper-middle or upper class growing up and love to shite over how horrible the people they grew up with were.


Honey, being the child of two doctors and driving a Corvette to an exclusive private HS doesn’t make you oppressed, no matter how much you try claim it.

My cousin and her husband. About as disgusting a couple of woke, commie liberals you'll meet. They own a house a block from the beach in Venice Beach, CA and a cabin in the mountains in CA. Yet they have the frickin nerve to lecture me about my white privilege.

I have a cousin exactly like that. She married into one of the wealthiest families in the state with very old money and had the gall to try and have a moment of reflection on our white privilege after the blessing of the food at our family's Christmas get-together a couple years ago. Not kidding. A couple people laughed out loud and got up to make plates and she didn't come to Christmas last year.

My brother. I steer clear of any and all and all politics and any topics that can lead to discussions of wokeness. We do fine.

Just tell her "that's your privilege, toots...I worked for mine."

See how that goes...

I forgot about my cousin and her husband as well. They are both professors at Alabama and spreading their BS to the next generation

The wokest I know is a stripper, so I don’t place any value on her opinions anyway.
