"[Latent Homophobia and Racism In the early 1970s, when it appeared in New York nightclubs, disco was a niche genre, rooted in gay, Black, and Latino culture. Enough to send a horde of puritans running for the hills. But that night in 1979, at the stadium, it was primarily white men aged 18 to 34 who gathered to ignite the disco revolution. Peter Shapiro, author of the cult book on disco, *Turn the Beat Around* (published by Allia), explains the importance of context : 'The disco demolition party took place in the Midwest, which was then called the 'Rust Belt' because it was the industrial heartland of America. But the factories were dying. Disco, born from the gay and Black underground, represented a challenge to the image that John Wayne's America had of itself.' When the American government faced a crisis, disaffected white men laid off from manufacturing jobs felt alienated by disco. 1970s America also saw the rise of the culture wars (which we still experience today), and anti-gay activists like country singer Anita Bryant focused their attacks on disco. This music also brought a significant Black presence to the pop charts, which unsettled the predominantly white rock audience.]" #OtheringHateHomophobia #OtheringOutGroupRedneck #PhenomnDisco #ToponymAmericaNorthUSRustBelt ^[Wikipedia] #IRLJournalistPeterShapiro ^[Wikipedia] #2005_TurnTheBeatAroundTheSecretHistoryOfDisco #ToponymAmericaNorthUSMidwest ^[Wikipedia] #IRLActorJohnWayne #PhenomnAgencyHumanDisaffected #IdentityClassBlueCollar #IRLSingerAnitaBryant ^[Wikipedia] #MetaphorPeriodization1970s #IdentityLGBTQIA

"Black American folk singer-songwriter Huddie Ledbetter, a.k.a. Lead Belly, uses the phrase near the end of the recording of his 1938 song 'Scottsboro Boys', which tells the story of nine black teenagers accused of raping two white women, saying: 'I advise everybody, be a little careful when they go along through there-best stay woke, keep their eyes open'. [14][15] Aja Romano writes in Vox that this represents 'Black Americans' need to be aware of racially motivated threats and the potential dangers of white America.'[16] J, Saunders Redding recorded a comment from an African American United Mine Workers official in 1940, stating: 'Let me tell you buddy. Waking up is a damn sight harder than going to sleep, but we'll stay woke up longer.'[17] By the mid-20th century, woke had come to mean 'well-informed' or 'aware', [18] especially in a political or cultural sense. [9] The Oxford English Dictionary traces the earliest such usage to a 1962 New York Times Magazine article titled 'If You're Woke You Dig It' [19] by African-American novelist William Melvin Kelley, describing the appropriation of African American slang by white beatniks. [9] Woke had gained more political connotations by..." #IRLMusicianHuddieLedbetterAKALeadBelly #1938_ScottsboroBoys #WebsiteVoxAjaRomano #TheoryLinguisticsSemanticShift

Context #WebsiteSnopes "The word 'woke' is broadly used to describe a state of being 'aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues especially of racial and social injustice' according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. While it originated from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) in the early part of the 20th century, the term has become a common part of American slang. Its usage has evolved and grown so much that conservatives now use it as a pejorative to refer to progressives or left-leaning liberals." ^{[fact-checked]}
