I don't find it hard to define. This person needs help.
skathir
this isn’t an individual problem and remedy unfortunately. this is the imperialist supremacist shit the US was literally founded on.

Uh oh, someone asked what's in the snake oil.

She was right about one thing: she seems to be going viral.
n8mc2001
It’s not difficult to explain in 15 seconds. It’s being actively aware of and standing up to racial injustice.
Dannyalcatraz
Not. Even. Close.
thegelatoking
The definition is in the word, jeez. Woken, to wake up, from being unaware of social prejudices and inequities etc. open your eyes etc
thegelatoking
She knows what it means. Just that if she defines it out loud she calls herself out as being intolerant and prejudice.
SteveMND
Well, she was right about the whole 'going viral' bit, I'll give her that.
elbowdeepinawhateverthatis
It just means the awareness of social inequality, what’s so fuckin’ hard about that? Unless you’re a bigoted piece of shit, that is. OH WAIT
FaFaFaFoolin
"...to create hierarchies of oppression." Yeah no, bless your heart, try again honey.

Take your time you dumbass, we got all day here -news lady to stupid foxviewer

Now they are trying to redefine the word woke. May I recommend a dictionary
Skyguyafungi
Well you can take your time is my favorite line. 10/10 delivery, perfect own
Fynndango
I can define "woke" from the right. NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, SEX, RELIGION

Woke is easy to define. Well, for me. It is empathy, care and consideration for ALL others, whether you agree with them or not.
Nalianna
yeah, but she can't say that... she has to make it look like a bad thing.
Syko73
It was at this moment she knew, she fucked up!
djheadshot
We need the curbd theme with this...
woozle
one of the most hilarious things ever. it's just ::chef's kiss:: perfect
SithElephant
If it was perfect, it would lead to her being sacked from all of her current 'anti-woke' moneymaking scams.
woozle
the right-wing doesn't care if they're being lied to. she'll be fine.
theeAndikrist
Rightwingers: "My feelings don't care about your facts"
Bigemedic
That wasn't even a "gotcha" question. It was honest and she fuckin whiffed it.
flacoloco
"you can take your time"
flacoloco
Meatball Ron's lawyers said it means "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."
AgnosticPaladin
The definition is great (coming from them). But please don't use Floriduh Man's insults, i'm sure we can do better if needed.
reallybigdogtrappedinamansbody
Real simple. Woke = awake. Eyes open aware to systematic injustice (usually through class, race, gender).
JustFeedMePieDammit
Haha that sinking feeling when you know you’ve tremendously fucked up
wadatahmydamie
Not like Republicans will care. They’ll call it an ambush question
PandAnomoly
"please define what you're talking about"- clearly a media trap question/s
wadatahmydamie
Yup. Remember when Sarah Palin complained about Ambush journalism when Katie Couric asked her what books she liked?
Lobo82
"You can take your time!" That was great! Almost like kicking her while she's down. Lol!

I'm woke, whatever that means.

f*king cats, every morning they introduce me to woke.

I’m awake, i wish I wasn’t

Nunyajonesinc
It means you give a fuck about how the world grinds different people down and you really wish we'd pick a new way to live already
ispendtomuchtimehere
oh yes, that's why I am happily woke, I love when people can't just define what they think woke means..I experience empathy.
Nunyajonesinc
Yeah, did you see the video yesterday of the "anti-woke" mom railing on her kids school for teaching her child empathy? What the actual fuck
ispendtomuchtimehere
my next door neighbor, he get's mad at woke, I ask him are you anti-woke? ..he gets madder..go home, you're drunk..
notacobra
The funniest bit about this is even the right wing fucked up definition of woke is easy to describe, if you're not literally brain-dead.
FlatPlutoSociety
The problem is that it's not easy to define in a way that actually makes it sound bad, and making it sound bad is crucial for these ghouls.
mirhagk
Yeah they just struggle to come up with an alternative to "cares about social injustice... But like in a bad way!"
notacobra
Like it's not really some nebulous and difficult to understand concept. It's just the people that draw issue with it tend to also be stupid.
sleepinggreenidea
In this case, it's more that she was on a media program outside the RW ecosystem, so she couldn't rely on safe, vague, overloaded buzzwords.
TheEvenPrez
Woke is deliberately ambiguous. It's whatever conservatives need it to be at that moment. Postmodern conservatism
reverendbonobo
djheadshot
It's literally not ambiguous at all.
TheEvenPrez
of course, it's 'anti-left' but that changes with their goals. An 'anti-woke' bank was formed then collapsed. Gillette was 'woke',
TheEvenPrez
Trans rights are 'woke', it's the stand in for the reality that saying what the actually thought would be a hoods off moment
5m4llP0X
I think DeathSantis defined it best with "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."
5m4llP0X
Which he's against, cuz he's a scumbag.
thedudeman519
How is it ambiguous? It has a clear definition
Sooner70
Bitch don't even know what she's arguing about.
SheepySleepySmuggler
Her background for reference:. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany_Mandel
SheepySleepySmuggler
And for the awards/honours she has, my bet is they are the result of being in the right organisation and a donation or two...
historycat
But she wrote a whole book about it. The grift continues.
Targe0
Yep, write a book about a term that has existed since the 1930s and till recent years always had the same simple meaning. But not know it.
ZuoftheNorth
While I think we should all work harder to remove gendered slurs from our vocabulary, you right. you totally right.
NoQuestionMarksInDeclarativeSentences
That just means we need to use it more broadly.
MotionOfTheOcean
I prefer dumb fuck. Gender neutral and very effective. Same amount of syllables for the effect
DarkSlayer54
Well, she's obviously saying that uh... Woke is like, um... It's like, you know when you add chips to a sandwich? It's like that, but...
DarkSlayer54
... it also has taco sauce mixed in. It's a little impossible to describe in two comments, but I think that sums it up nicely
Blackthorn74
Being anti “Woke” has become an argument in itself for the right. For them it means being anti-liberal and code for them supporting racism.
Cruxia13
That's the point, conservatives use it as a scary buzzword for anything they don't like in the moment. It's their get out of jail free card.
thesameasyours
Bunch of barking chihuahuas
maximilianfragglebottom
She knows exactly what she's arguing about and she knows she can't say it out loud
Picdump2508
Absolutely, you can't define woke honestly without making it sound positive because it's a good thing. It's a very damning position she's in
Targe0
And she knows it, you can see her trying different angles to make it work. Even trying the real definition but trailing off it.

She just hoping Lee Atwater swoops in and tells her what to say to keep it properly "abstract"
johndoejersey05
More like she's not used to being "challenged" like that. Too few journos ask conservatives basic shit like that for some reason...
Unnecessaryforthispurpose
Who is she and why are they interviewing her?
djheadshot
She's on a program put on by The Hill because she wrote this majestic piece of Pulitzer worthy material.... /s

"Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation"......

Yikes.

What in the actual fuck...
skathir
So she can say the quiet part out loud sometimes??!!!
Jace99
What. Hierarchy of oppression? Like a caste system? We already have that and it’s defined by wealth. She wrote a book? This idiot?
Picdump2508
By her definition she's the woke one. Brilliant.
TankTrain
I think she means that white people, (like me,) are going to be treated how non-white people have been treated for a very long time. And
4254
Don't see treating others with respect, or having empathy, as a finite resource, that has to be taken from someone, for everyone to get it.
TankTrain
she doesn't want that to happen because, I'm guessing, she doesn't understand how good we really do have it. It's a massive lack of empathy.
TankTrain
"Life is hard for me and all my friends right now. No other people understand how hard it is. My solution is to ensure things don't get
TankTrain
worse for me, and I'm going to do it at everyone else's expense. If you disagree, I'm going to denigrate you. You pissweak snowflake!"
TankTrain
Essentially, she's a cunt.
