Freestyle 19: We are the Woke Mob

from Afrocentric. · host Morgan Gray

This podcast episode delves into the concept of wokeness in the Black community, tracing its evolution and discussing its demonization in modern politics, particularly in states like Florida. The term "woke" originated as a Black activist watchword that demanded people "stay woke" against police brutality. However, the way that terms like "woke" and "wokeness" are used outside of the Black Lives Matter community seems to bear little connection to their original context. The war against wokeness is an inevitability, one that is either ignored or unknown to those who accept the whitewashed history that the anti-woke warriors seek to preserve. As Black people, we are the woke mob, and we should continue to educate ourselves and have open conversations about wokeness and its importance in our communities. It's time to embrace our wokeness and use it as a tool for change
