Truth is the definition of systemic racism is so flexible that it cannot be solved meaningfully.

So is it insurmountable to actually sort out discrimination? Is it something we have to live with because we can't deal with it?Is it easier to bring up stuff about statues,certain ads,certain songs/nursery rhymes rather than attempt to actually deal with the issue of actually making sure that equality is for everyone. Do we have to avoid finger wagging to actually move forwards?

Well at this point a normal activist organisation would present some proposals which rightly or wrongly would be implemented. But they don't. Instead we turn on each other and tear down the culture, during an international crisis. Which is the point.

Better "woke" than "broke"... ;)

Rob Liddle, Alexandra Phillips, Sam Ashworth-Hayes, Tom Slater, Toby Young, Brendan O’Neill, Guido Fawkes, et al, and others working for the Daily Mail, Telegraph, Spiked, Spectator, Times, etc.

Toby Young was sacked from several positions. How many of those people are not self employed or employed by explicitly anti woke companies.

All depends on how much their employers support their right to say things. They and their employers constantly face a barrage of abuse because of it.

Try saying "All Lives Matter", and see where it gets you.

Just look at all the flak recently aimed at JK Rowling. If she wasn't already successful, how do you think it would go? Would and will the BBC still be interested in anything she creates?

It was you who made a contentious statement that not being woke got you fired... without any apparent evidence. I would suggest a few people on this forum aren't woke and haven't been fired for it.

If you have an opinion that the woke folk don't like you get hounded out by the wokerazzi,that's why people have to quickly issue a statement saying they support a load of stuff that they don't really give a damn about.

Ain’t that the truth.

The level of corporate virtue signalling has been breathtaking
