@LaurynQuercia [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : A lesson for those who haven't learned from history. Ca. 1800s slave owners called Abolitionists "woke" to degrade & dismiss them. Abolitionists took on "woke" as a badge of pride, forming "Wide Awake" org.s supporting Abolition, Abe Lincoln & The Union. #Woke #BLM #WideAwake [URL redacted]

@EliHarbart [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : Newspaper from 1860 criticizes progressives for being #woke (right wing talking points go back way farther than I thought) [URL redacted]
"HAVE YOU GOT YOUR TICKETS READY FOR THE ELECTION ? The Free Negro North.-In many parts of the North, the Wide Awakes are composed mainly of Negros. Lincoln's strength is in no inconsiderabls degree, swelled by buck Negroes ; and these are the people that Yankee emissaries ask the South to submit to !--But it is not possible that Southern white men can be guilty of such baseness--Southern women will not permit it ! The day of amalgamation has not come, in the South. Massachusetts may mulattoize herself, and doubtless will--but when she seeks, with the other Northern States, to initiate the doctrine in the South, by imposing on us a free negro Vice President, the day will have come for dissolution. The South must belong to the White Race !" #SlurWhiteSupremacy #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfricanPOC #OrgClassifPPUSPOTUSAbrahamLincoln

@JohnnieEwings [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : Why is the word ‘Woke’ used as an insult?? It literally means alert to social discrimination and injustice #Woke ‘Wide awake’ was used in this context in ads by Lincoln in 1860 #WideAwakes and Leadbelly was telling folk to “stay woke” in 1938 🎵 [URL redacted] [URL redacted]
