@DorothyKohout [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [02]: @prageru @JeremyDBoreing @JJudahIsaac @amalaekpunobi @VivekGRamaswamy @AmandaEnsing This Prager video gets the definition of #woke wrong in a rather significant way. The injustices aren't invisible unless you make a robust and very deliberate effort to not see them. [URL redacted]

Addendum the tweet criticises the PragerU short for its willingness to ignore #OtheringDiscriminationRacismStructuralSystemicInstitutional (and actually, #TheorySociologyIntersectionality). In this sense, the criticism implies that the piece is best understood as a deliberate, culturally induced form of ignorance i.e. #EpistemologyAgnotologyIgnorance [Wikipedia] #MetaphorDeceitDisingenuousGlibFacile

#NMUSFOXFNCFoxSports "Orlando Magic star Jonathan Isaac has become the first player to refuse to kneel during the national anthem following the restart of the NBA. ...
Every player in the two games on Friday between the Jazz and the Pelicans and the Clippers and the Lakers wore Black Lives Matter T-shirts and knelt for the anthem - some even had their names replaced with powerful messages on the back of their shirts." https://www.foxsports.com.au/basketball/nba/nba-news-2020-black-lives-matter-protest-jonathan-isaac-why-did-he-not-kneel-orlando-magic-brooklyn-nets/news-story/f574ade5c63d74486838f7c96f183e26

#BrandAccessIntelligenceLLCPRNewsGroupSophieMaerowitz [Muckrack] "On Jan. 6 at 2:55 p.m. ET--about 20 minutes after insurrectionists breached the U.S. Capitol building--beauty influencer Amanda Ensing tweeted, 'There's not enough popcorn in the world for what's about to happen.' A self-proclaimed Trump supporter and Christian, Ensing has long been vocal about her political and religious views on social media.
Users on both the left and the right were quick to condemn Ensing's Jan. 6 comment, with fellow influencer Gabriel Zamora tweeting, 'this is entertainment to you?' and others questioning Ensing's religious convictions. In addition, social media users have denounced Ensing for 'blackfishing,' or pretending to be black or mixed-race online for personal gain. (No evidence has refuted Ensing's half-Puerto Rican heritage, although critics have alleged a misleading opportunistic and "rebrand")." https://www.prnewsonline.com/sephora-influencer-PR-Ensing

Addendum the short - presented by Ekpunobi (with help from her co-conspiracy theory fantasists) - imagines a #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific, which they position in #MetaphorThreatExistential terms. Significantly, the piece attempts to strengthen an emerging #OrgSyndicateAccordConservativeEcosystem (composed of business people who are ideologically invested in a #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation) while also, seeking to #LiteralMessagingPersuasionAdvertising (or perhaps more aptly, #BeliefTheismProselytise) the short's audience into the ways of #PoliticsCapitalismLaissezFaireFreeMarketFundamentalism. In doing so, then piece begins with Ekpunobi offering up her #MetaphorConfessionOfTheReformed (of Ekpunobi seemingly #MetaphorBlindnessDeafnessVsSeeingHearingTheTruth through rejecting #BehaviourTolerance i.e. so-called #TauntWokeness in favour of what appears to be some version of #TheoryPoliticsOfFearAnxietyOfVictimisation crossed with #ConspiracyTheory_CulturalMarxism). In doing so, the short seeks to concretise (what #IRLHistoricalFigureKarlMarx might understand as a form of #TheoryReification [Wikipedia] ) where a contemporary cultural phenomenon (what #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz understands as #TheoryHypercultureHybridity) as a so-called #MetaphorWarfareCulture - perhaps, what #IRLScholarErvingGoffman might understand in #TheoryFrameAnalysis terms as some sort of 'frame shifting' - where such a phenomenon takes on the form of a #MetaphorWarfareFactionalism / #MetaphorWarfareBattleFight staged by people invested in #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive, which is replete with #MetaphorWarfareHero.s and #MetaphorWarfareEnemy.ies (or, perhaps more aptly #MetaphorPretencePantomimeVillain.s). The short includes aspects of #PhenomnCulturalFormGenreDocumentaryTravelogue [Wikipedia] (through including references to Ekpunobi travelling to #ToponymAmericaNorthUSTennesseeNashville and #ToponymAmericaNorthUSFloridaOrlando). Through its choice of interview subjects, the piece somewhat seeks to imply that the we are in the midst of a #MetaphorTransformationSeaChange [Wikipedia] brought on by the #MetaphorGenerationTheYounger overthrowing the #PoliticsStatusQuo (instead of the reality, that the piece is aimed at #IdentityConservativeYoung who are much more likely to be resistant to social change efforts).

#WebsiteDailyKos "In the November 2023 press release announcing the launch of Merit Street Media, McGraw proclaimed that 'American families and our core values are under attack.' The release also echoed many other gripes from now-President Donald Trump and other conservatives, such as the U.S. having 'out-of-control immigration.' Since the networks' launch, Merit failed to attract viewers, averaging just 24,000 primetime viewers in 2024. In August of that year, the network laid off dozens of staffers. And that October, McGraw spoke at Trump's racist rally at Madison Square Garden, promoting the network during his speech--to no avail." https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/10/15/2348741/-Dr-Phil-s-anti-woke-TV-network-goes-broke #2025_ #BrandMeritStreetMediaMeritTV [Wikipedia]

Context #WebsiteBlackAgendaReportMarkFancher "The latest iteration of Black othering is found in the concept of 'Foundational Black Americans.' A website dedicated to this idea explains: 'It is important to clarify that Foundational Black Americans (FBA) is not a group or an organization, and there is no designated leader of FBA. FBA is a lineage-based designation that specifically refers to the over 43 million Black Americans who are direct descendants of the Freedmen--the formerly enslaved Black people who were emancipated in the United States. This lineage represents a unique and unbroken connection to the foundational builders of this nation.' Those who subscribe to this concept believe it is important to distinguish so-called Foundational Black Americans from those born in Africa and other people of African descent whose ancestors were never enslaved in the U.S. This perspective resembles the MAGA program not only in its othering of immigrants, but also in the convenient disregard of facts, and reliance on comforting self-delusion, all of which is ultimately self-defeating. So-called Foundational Black Americans may tell themselves they are noble protectors of ancestral legacy, but they are in fact little different from European groups in this country that conceptualized white privilege and tried to reserve it for exclusive groups. In the case of Foundational Black Americans and the so-called 'American Descendants of Slaves' who preceded them, there is a belief - sometimes stated, sometimes not - that there is only a small slice of the American pie that is potentially available to Black people, and it is terribly unfair that those who are relatively recent arrivals in this country will share in that slice to the exclusion of people whose families have been here since the slavery era. Many Foundational Black Americans also believe that reparations paid by the U.S. government should not be paid to those whose ancestors were not held in bondage in the U.S." https://www.blackagendareport.com/folly-so-called-foundational-black-americans #IdentityAmericanFoundationalBlackAmericansFBA #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfricanPOC
