Can someone tell me what all this ‘Woke’ shit is? Is it the opposite of being knuckledragging racist gammon type?

    LT42 I think it means being considerate of people who may be different to white males.

      Funky Woke mob cancel culture at it again.

      Great. If it gets rid of cunts like Clarkson more the merrier.

        ‘WOKE UP SHEEPLE’

        Cankles-McJeggings yeah they don’t want us driving our cars now too, chaining themselves to bridges blocking roads, stopping ambulances getting through smart.

        What has this world come too, soon enough there will be no stand up comedy on mainstream broadcasting, as they will be too scared to offend some idiot in the crowd on a netflix special.

            All of your bants requirements are catered for OLB Funky.

            We got this!

            Funky what about all the immigrants coming over on dinghys and that dreadful Meghan Markle!? I blame the parents.

                ‘Woke’ is the same kind of things as a ‘Social Justice Warrior’ / SJW. It’s an ideology as blinkered, over-simplistic and intolerant as most others. It’s an obsession with seeing “injustice” and “inequality” everywhere, but only when it’s convenient for your cause / side.

                Its promoters/adherents are so often focused on seeing everything through the prism of race and racial injustice that it actually serves to divide people by race even more, with it often difficult not to conclude that they discriminate based on race (and demonstrate racism) as much or even more so than those they claim to be rallying against. Being ’woke" actually works against MLK’s dream of wishing to be judged not by the colour of his skin but by the content of his character.

                As an aside, the term “gammon” is a negative slur based on the colour of a person’s skin. In theory it’s the kind of thing that someone who supposedly is “against racism” should wish to avoid and call out. However, because it’s directed at white people, and those on the receiving end aren’t bothered and overly-sensitive enough to kick up a big fuss about it, it’s typically let slide and perpetuated.

                    On the subject of Clarkson, he’s already had a very long and successful career, and his viewership figures are likely well on the slide already - so him being “cancelled” by Amazon now is an easy symbolic gesture for them.

                    Millsy I think you’ll find it’s ‘video games’ and ‘heavy metal’ music.

                      hugopal being woke to me, it’s just not being a fucking cunt. Gammons, for example, are fucking cunts. They vote for Brexit, they don’t give a fuck about the environment and are largely racist - these are all bad things, don’t you agree, Hugo?

                          Except there are plenty of woke people who are also “fucking cunts” and racist.

                          I’m also not particularly fond of broad, simplistic stereotypes in general. For instance, funnily enough, supposed “gammon” Jeremy Clarkson actually voted Remain, and called Brexit voters “coffin-dodging idiots”.
