Being Woke - What Does It Mean?

In this episode, there is a "Trigger Warning". I break down what "Being Woke" and "Woke-ism" is. In today's culture and in the past it definitely has a meaning.  Social justice, cancel culture, and intersectionality are discussed as being close relatives of the words, "Woke" and "Woke-ism".  How do I and others feel about the Woke-Culture that is permeating the United States? And more importantly, how do you feel about it?  Take a listen and decide for yourself. Please remember to be kind to everybody everywhere when debating these hot-button topics.  Links from this episode:  Find out the utopian definition of "Woke-ism" and buy a tee-shirt or mug to show your support: https://www.wokenation.us/  Are You Woke?
