    I'm reminded of the Nazi term 'Judenfrei':

    there is a difference between Zionist and Semitic, although the two are interchangeable to many

    Ironically, the term woke now refers to white people that claim whites are oppressed.

    It seems that co-opting the original meaning of the term has not bothered black folk at all since as we all know, black ppl are the trendsetters. They're into other terms now, you wokesters need to ketchup

    The original Jews were black.

    Do you think Jefferson would still support Israel if he knew this?

    recently i found some documentary's about the lost tribes showing very old Jewish settlements in Asia and other places, they still have many of the cultural characteristics...as far as modern politics and discussing anything i have slacked way off, the RW is so filled with popular misconceptions that civil discussion is extremely hard

    Indeed, black folks spread throughout the southern climes into Asia as far as India during the Ethiopian expansion thousands of years ago.

    Looks like Woke Business is starting to see the light.

    Corporate DEI roles are being phased out at a rapid rate

    [​IMG]

    'corporations were desperate to signal their approval of the new narrative by hiring Diversity, Equity and Inclusion officers at a furious rate. Nearly three years later, things have changed. NBC News reports that for many corporations the DEI bloom seems to have faded and those jobs are being phased out at a rapid rate.'

    They sow division, demand uniformity of viewpoint, and promote exclusion. They are very expensive and don't increase cohesion.

    [​IMG]

    Biggest difference is that Companies with DEI team hire more asians.

    'How much were these companies paying diversity officers to produce a 1.1% improvement in the hiring of black employees? Probably quite a bit.' And 0.7% more hispanics?

    I'd say they are the establishment.

    They try to claim they are the ones speaking truth to power but this is just larping.

    Think about how much you risk socially by claiming to be supportive of same sex marriage or that you'll treat trans people with respect? It's absolutely nothing in fact that's almost expected.

    I fear the counter culture. I'm a gay guy, and the left trying to do the exact same thing as the religious right did in the earlier periods what will be their equivalent to the atheist movement?

    United Airlines Touts All-LGBTQ Flight Crew; Customers Not Amused.

    'The airline may have been surprised to learn that for many passengers, safety trumps diversity. For those more concerned with reaching their destination in one piece, it landed like a lead balloon.'

    “Oh, thank God. Every time I fly, the only thing I worry about is ‘who do the crew members like to have sex with?’ As long as that’s the focus of the airlines, I know I’m in good hands,” one flyer wrote.

    Another replied, “I don’t care how many boxes your crew checks, but what I do care about is their qualifications. You made it clear that an all-LGBTQ+ crew was your number one priority above safety and qualifications. I will never fly United Airlines again.”

    'Two years ago, United announced that “50% of the 5,000 pilots we train in the next decade” would be “women or people of color.” They went on to say, “Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people on board our planes every day.”'

    'While the left’s prioritization of equity and diversification over merit in corporate hiring decisions may be inconsequential in some industries, this growing trend in the airline industry is frightening and potentially deadly.'

    'airlines are “dramatically lowering hiring standards for pilots and for air traffic controllers” and warned that “at some point, many people are going to die” as a result.'

    Flying is about PHYSICS not DIVERSITY

    No, new Pharisees are the religious right who will call anyone who disagrees with their interpretation as heretic at the very least.

    If you want to destroy liberals, create 'wokism'.
    If you want to destroy conservatives, keep them in a perpetual state of attacking 'wokism'.

    I totally diagree. The conservative right are the pharisees.

    They are trying to change culture by passing morality laws. Laws that restrict womens rights, laws that restrict what people can say, laws that restrict what clothes people can wear, Laws that restrict what people can read, laws that restrict the actions of consenting results, laws that allow government to to remove elected officials for not agreeing with them, laws that restrict what teachers may say to children.

    That is the real hypocracy.

    Well, if we're going to have that, then we gotta have this ...



    I personally don't care who's flying the plane or serving the drinks. They're there because they're qualified to be there. What's more important is that airfare prices be drastically reduced. It's crazy expensive nowadays with the litany of added fees.

    No, the right wing preachers like Graham are the neo-pharisees.
    A bunch of lying hypocrites hiding their intolerance and bigotry behind religious bullshit.

    The Woke are very controlling, exacting and unforgiving, that's for sure.

    https://www.thecollegefix.com/kings...arch-on-trans-athletes-for-calling-men-males/

    King’s College London rejects research on trans athletes for calling men ‘males’.

    'Ordered professor to consult with DEI office on language'

    'The research ethics committee at King’s College London ordered a professor to consult with the campus “Equality, Diversity & Inclusion team” about his proposed survey on men competing against women in sports.'

    'John Armstrong sought to ask athletes about their views on gender-dysphoric men competing as females in women’s sports. However, the Research Ethics office denied his application because he referred to gender-dysphoric men who compete against women as “males.”'

    “The language is not sensitive and the misgendering of athletes is not appropriate,” the research review team told Armstrong. This is because he wanted to ask individuals their thoughts about “when males should be allowed to compete in the female category in athletics.”

    'Professor Armstrong said that athletes who are critical of transgender participation in elite competition have lost a chance to be heard, due to the obstacles imposed on research into the topic.'

    “Grassroots volunteers and elite athletes deserve to have their voices heard,” the professor told The Fix. “As this research was not conducted, World Athletics have announced a new transgender policy without listening to these voices, and the potential for research impact has been lost.”

    Medical professor says only scientists like him can have political views
