@JamesMozell [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : @michaelharriot @NAACP_LDF From Black slang, to an anti-Black pejorative.
Ask yourself: What exactly is “the woke?” Where did “#woke” come from? And how did it become apparently worthy of gag orders instituted by politicians and administered with the might of the government? [URL redacted]

We must fight 'the woke' in government agencies,' Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently declared from the stage at a campaign event. 'We can never, ever surrender to woke ideology. And I'll tell you this, the state of Florida is where woke goes to die.'... But don't just take our word for it. Ask yourself: What exactly is 'the woke?' Where did 'woke' come from?

- Quelle est la poupée la moins jolie?
- La noire.
- Parce que je n'aime pas trop la noire.

Context "For the first time, the film 'Blacks in France' gives voice to black French people of all ages and from all walks of life, known or unknown to the general public. Told by the writer Alain Mabanckou, this documentary retraces their stories made up of prejudices and stereotypes, but also shot through with hope and pride. These blacks in France build a history in constant transformation." https://www.france.tv/documentaires/societe/3013303-noirs-en-france.html #OtheringDenialPrejudice

Drs. Clark used four dolls, identical except for color, to test children's racial perceptions. Their subjects, children between the ages of three to seven, were asked to identify both the race of the dolls and which color doll they prefer. A majority of the children preferred the white doll and assigned positive characteristics to it. The Clarks concluded that 'prejudice, discrimination, and segregation' created a feeling of inferiority among African-American children and damaged their self-esteem.
