I’m woke & proud

Summary:

Some media use ‘woke’ as their excuse to get away with injustice. I’m woke and proud. I will stand up for equality. Suck it up buttercup!

adjective

having or marked by an active awareness of systemic injustices and prejudices, especially those involving the treatment of ethnic, racial, or sexual minorities

Disparaging. of or relating to a liberal progressive orthodoxy, especially promoting inclusive policies or ideologies that welcome or embrace ethnic, racial, or sexual minorities.

The fucking dictionary

I’m woke, and I am fucking proud! It will never stop me from fighting against injustice. I won’t always get it right, but you learn from your mistakes and use that to fight the fight!

The way I see it, if you are against people being treated equally, then the issue is you…not me!

The right-wing media have tried to make the term “woke” a negative connotation. They think by labelling me as woke, I will shut up! I didn’t shut up at being called gay, faggot or queer! Woke is mute compared to that!

Their use of woke is about batting away people’s perceptions of themselves. By trying to label you in a negative way, they are doing a simple ‘look over there’!

But as the media start to use this more and more, the knuckle draggers who have no idea what it actually means feel like they can win an argument by calling you woke.

Screen shot of a tweet from Royal Vauxhall Tavern on March 29 2023 "In 2021, Paul O'Grady visited The RVT with @PT_Foundation and spoke about the now infamous 'poppers raid' which took place when Lilly was performing on our stage in 1987 at the heights of the AIDS crisis. A true hero to LGBTQ+ people, thank you Paul."

Amanda Holden is a prime example of a knuckle dragger. During a recent stint on her radio show, while discussing Paul O’Grady’s death, she had the audacity to say “You know what I loved about him, he was not woke in any way.”

We’re talking about Paul O’Grady, the iconic drag queen Lily Savage, who was an out-and-proud queer in an era when it was frowned upon. Who stood up for LGBT+ rights, was an AIDS campaigner and stood up against the government and their austerity crap!

You look up woke, Paul O’Grady should have his picture next to it!

But then you get these fucktards who hear a term and think we need to get behind this, but actually not really understanding what they fuck they are saying are doing!

I want to believe that Amanda, wasn’t trying to be a bigot and it was clearly a misunderstanding, but I’m not sure.

Being woke is not a negative term. Calling out injustices is not a bad thing. It never will be. Calling someone woke, means you are the one that needs the help.

Screen shot of a tweet from me on March 29 2023 "I shall say this for the room. If you see yourself as against the woke, then you’re a fucking bigot! Racist, homophobe, transphobe, ageist etc. you can either pick the sword you want to fall on, or go for all. I don’t give a shit. You’re the issue, not the fucking woke! So please explain to me @AmandaHolden & @JamieTheakston how would you like to be labelled going forward? Full out bigot, or one of the above?"

Anti-woke is about pointing the blame onto someone else. You say something racist, they are being woke.

We don’t want to see disabled people in advertising campaigns, because it’s just woke culture.

Trying to be a bigot and then blaming it on woke, doesn’t change the fact you are a fucking bigot!

Lawrence Fox is a prime example of a bigot. He is so against “the woke” as he sees it as anti-British.

All because he was called out for being a racist (which he acknowledged) on BBC Question Time. The irony that he had a mixed-race girlfriend (who dumped in) isn’t lost!

He also created a protest against a pub doing a Drag Story Time…that didn’t exist.

If being British means you’re a racist, homophobe, transphobe or any other bigotry view, then I am not and never will be British! And I am proud of that!

So as I have said above, if you are ever going to use the term “woke” in a negative way, then you are a bigot! You will be called out, and labelled as deemed fit!
