ICYMI: “woke” is now a political slur.
Co-opting language remains one of the most popular tactics of white supremacy.

As well as...

:::checks notes:::

🧐 Acting like one doesn’t know what white supremacy is

🧐 Trying to destroy people’s credibility with lies, exaggerations, and extreme moral judgements
🧐 Fomenting fear among white people by creating threats out of issues and people will barely affect them

🧐 Banking on the fact that people won’t look in to their questionable past (or care), but will definitely be looking in every nook and cranny of yours
🧐 Diminishing the serious and legitimate pain of others by pretending that some bullshit is as bad as the worst crimes that can happen to a person
🧐 Framing issues around concern for the “nation” and “heritage” as though it’s looking out for everyone but is obviously only concerned about white culture and white people

🧐 Talking a lot about people one doesn’t know and being insistent about making decisions on their behalf
Oh, and...

🧐 Heavily implying things without explicitly naming them (and hoping that someone else will do the dirty work) so they are not liable

What did I miss...? 🤔
