Not So Woke

I listened to an interesting interview between an Australian and an Englishman, discussing (among other things) critical race theory, thoughts about re-writing history and blaming everything on "white privilege" and colonialism:

"The “Woke” religion has superseded all other things and can therefore judge history in whichever way it chooses to."

"Calling everyone a 'racist' who disagrees with you."

It got me wondering why we are so fixated on defining people by something so superficial as the amount of melanin in their skin instead of their faith or integrity or courage or love or commitment to family.

Then I trolled through the posts on Blexit's Instagram feed to get the perspective of those who are not white, just to see if my point of view was so out of bounds:



And now I'm thinking this whole "woke" movement and focus on BLM is just one more ploy to divide and conquer our nation.

Each one of us bears the responsibility - we can do better than this.
