What It Means To Be Woke
Woke people are considerate conscious humans dedicated to the cause of humanity. They know and understand that this consideration goes beyond their person, family, community, identity, racial or political identification. They are people willing to speak up, speak out and stand against censorship, xenophobia, racism, sexism, classism and every other form of isms that plagues the human family. They believe in a woman’s right to make her own decisions concerning the most intimate details of her body. And that what consenting adults do in the privacy of their homes is their business.
Because woke people like people: rich, poor, black, white, educated, uneducated, citizens or not. They are willing to join forces, network, and communicate with other hope-filled, freedom-loving, progressive people the world over. People who are equally dedicated to reducing the gap between the haves and have-nots and to a more just existence between human beings of all colors and creeds.
Woke people know there are good people in this world, who believe in people over profits. They believe that human beings should be treated with dignity and respect because the best among us has some bad in them, just as the worst has some good. Woke people also know that when the good people of world stay quiet, the voices of hatred and prejudice carry the day, but because we Woke we refuse to allow that. So the question is: are you Woke? Or still asleep?
