Why does being anti-woke often seem synonymous with being anti-Black? In this candid discussion, Bruce Anthony delves into the historical roots of the term "woke" and its profound connections to Black history and awareness of racial injustices. From the haunting echoes of Sundown laws to the modern-day implications of this term, we explore how "woke" has evolved beyond its original context, now encompassing the struggles of various marginalized communities, including the LGBTQ+ community.
Bruce passionately argues that the anti-woke movement isn't just a cultural backlash but is deeply intertwined with racial and social prejudices. He shares personal anecdotes and historical insights, illuminating the dangers of simplifying complex identities and the consequences of ignoring America's racially charged past. As the term "woke" gets co-opted, the stakes for racial equality and understanding only grow higher.
Join Bruce on this journey to unpack why the resistance to "wokeness" can often reflect broader societal biases.
