"Woke means awakened to the needs of others. To be well informed, thoughtful, compassionate, humble, and kind. Eager to make the world a better place for all people."
"Liberal
A political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties; specifically: such a philosophy that considers government as a crucial instrument for amelioration of social inequities (as those involving race, gender, or class).

"I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THEY DID. LIBERALS GOT WOMEN THE RIGHT TO VOTE. LIBERALS GOT AFRICAN-AMERICANS THE RIGHT TO VOTE. LIBERALS CREATED SOCIAL SECURITY AND LIFTED MILLIONS OF ELDERLY PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY. LIBERALS ENDED SEGREGATION. LIBERALS PASSED THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT, THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT. LIBERALS CREATED MEDICARE. LIBERALS PASSED THE CLEAN AIR ACT, THE CLEAN WATER ACT. WHAT DID CONSERVATIVES DO? THEY OPPOSED THEM ON EVERY ONE OF THOSE THINGS EVERY ONE. SO WHEN YOU TRY TO HURL THAT LABEL AT MY FEET, 'LIBERAL,' AS IF IT WERE SOMETHING TO BE ASHAMED OF, SOMETHING DIRTY, SOMETHING TO RUN AWAY FROM, IT WON'T WORK, SENATOR. BECAUSE I WILL PICK UP THAT LABEL AND I WILL WEAR IT AS A BADGE OF HONOR.

"'What did liberals do that was so offensive to the Republican Party?
I'll tell you what they did. Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act.
What did Conservatives do?
They opposed them on every one of those things, every one. So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work, because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor.'

"The Archbishop said: 'Many English people feel left behind by metropolitan elites in London and the South East, and by devolved governments and strengthened regional identities in Scotland and Wales. 'Their heartfelt cry to be heard is often disregarded, wilfully misunderstood or patronised as being backwardly xenophobic.'"

"Being 'woke' simply means that you have become aware of this reality. The purpose is not to make people feel guilty or bad about themselves. I didn't ask to be born white or female. I didn't ask for the privileges the former afforded me any more than I asked for the benefits or difficulties the latter created for me. But if one is not aware of the institutional inequalities in our society, how can one take action to remedy them? That is the point of critical race theory, and of being 'woke." It means that if we do not wake up, not only will our society continue to be unequal, but it will also be riven with racial, gender and class conflict." #IRLScholarGayleBrunelle http://hist.fullerton.edu/faculty_staff/profiles/Gayle%20Brunelle.aspx Via #IRLScholarHeatherCoxRichardson https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/june-23-2021/comments And https://reading-writing-revolution.tumblr.com/post/655068769986772992/before-i-commented-on-the-controversy-about
