blogdiva, 2 months ago WOKE, when used as a pejorative by white people, is the 21st century's equivalent of n*-lover. or, using Noel Ignatiev’s antiracism framework: if you are WOKE, you are not just a race traitor, you are a traitor to the whole concept of whiteness. btw: there’s a long philological history as to how antiblackness came to be in Europe, then the Américas. it started in Spain. as it always does.

zakalwe, 2 months ago @blogdiva One of my books has a one-star review on Goodreads which complains that it is "full of woke". You know, coming as it does from a person who apparently uses "woke" as an epithet, I'll take that as a compliment. 😇
