Wokeism

Not sure that's a word.
Just pissed off that the media ( led as always by the BBC )
are banging on about the inclusivity of this current England side.
OK I'm an old fart and my reminiscence does not concern the National team, but where were all these people when Greenwood played Charlo, Best & Coker in the same team of the mid 60's ?
What about the England teams that included the likes of Anderson, Regis, Barnes, Cunningham etc. ?
Don't remember them being so lauded.
Ah well, rant over - back to my cocoa.

Racism is still a thing.
The less of it there is the better.

Don't disagree Zeb.
Just pisses me off the way that certain elements pick and choose their targets as and when it suits their agenda.
Particularly in the current climate - that's all.

It’s a world wide thing that American weightlifter getting all pissed off because they played the American national anthem without telling her, apparently she finds it offensive!
Even the New Zealand “All Blacks” have been getting a few whinges on Twatter from the easily offended woke brigade, as they are not, and some may find it an offensive phrase because of that, in America several NFL teams have had to change their names, the Cleveland Indians I think are one, offensive to native Americans apparently.
Quite a few national anthems or varies national songs are getting some hot under the collar, Rule Britannia was going to be axed from last night of the proms by the BBC until there was a huge backlash.
Also read recently that the classic book to kill a mockingbird is banned in some schools as its racist, even though it’s about a white bloke fighting for justice for a black bloke!!! Go figure?
Nothing is safe, TV programs, books, national anthems, sporting team’s names, statues and the list just keeps getting added too.

This has been going on for quite some time now, do keep up.
I’m sure the massive over-representation of BAME faces on our TV screens will continue, and even grow further.
Before long, the white face will consistently be in a minority. Which is frankly idiotic when you consider that around 1 in 20 people in the UK are actually black or mixed race black. But still, US cops are fuckwits, so cheers Derek Chauvin you thick cunt.

Load of twonks pull a statue down and lob it in the river,all over something that took place 200 odd years ago. Old bill stand and watch.
XR protesters bring London to a standstill, old bill take lessons in skateboarding from them.
BLM protesters get gobby with the old bill,plod run away from them.
England fans celebrate getting to the final of a major tournament, old bill see it as a green light to go wading in and start cracking skulls.
May be coincidence that the vast majority of England fans getting a clump were white blokes but i doubt it.

Racism will always exist. You'd have to be insane to think prejudice could be eradicated from human nature.
I'm all for peace, but you certainly don't create it through fascist cancel culture and corporate propaganda campaigns to satisfy ESG analysis.

And if you want to know just how insane this has got look to Edinburgh university.
The people taking a course in English lit will no longer be reading and discussing two of the greatest books ever written.
'To kill a mocking bird' and 'Of mice and men' will no longer feature,you can have 1 guess why.

We can either endeavour to treat everyone as equals regardless of their immutable traits, or we can single people out for them.
My generation were brought up with the first and it seems we were happier then than we are now when everyone seems determined to do the second.
Devil makes work for idle thumbs. On a sociopolitical level. Maybe.

Most of this woke shit comes from middle class university graduates who have done degrees in learning to be offended. None of the black or asian people I know, and I know a good few, buy into it. The Lammys, Butlers and Abbotts of this world are also desperate to help race relations deteriorate. in fact they have a vested interest in this.

Arsene.
This shit is being taught throughout the education system. Todays students are tomorrows MP's and civil servants. Unless someone has the balls to stand up to this bollox then what we are seeing now is just the start.
And yes,same as you. Iv'e yet to speak to a black or asian person who feels that the wokery we see today represents them in any way at all.

I think wokism is just tool by the left to politicise everything that they have failed to do through democracy. If they can't get your vote they'll get your kids schools, the company you work for, the bank you use, and hopefully saturate ever corner of life until you can't be anything but subservient.

Take a Red Pill. And walk away. Eventually they will all be happy with the world they have created. And remind everyone how it was everybody else’s fault.

To be honest I’d be pretty fucked off if I paid £9k a year to read year 9 English lit material.

Wait until they Start teaching Critical Race Theory in schools. Telling white people they are oppressors and anyone non white that they are victims of white supremacy. It’s their way of indoctrinating then at a young age, and the college professors will finish the so that all your child will leave college as some outraged placard waving leftist loon.
Yes The woke left have somehow managed to get everyone important quaking with absolute fear, from the media to sports teams to the president and politicians. Speak out and you will be cancelled!

Here we are in the Western democracy’s bringing up our kids wrapped in cotton wool teaching them about Wokery, its great to be gay and lets cancel the past and all hold hands and sing songs if anything bad happens, yet in other parts of the world their are fanatical religious types bringing up their kids to hate the west and all it stands for, there Religion is the best and anyone who is a non believer deserves to be killed…….
Give it a generation or 2 and this woke utopia we seem to be drifting towards may have its hands full?

History says really bad things can happen when you start a movement to demonize a section of society be that on religious grounds or by race and it gets bought into by a large enough percentage of the population. It may start with teachings and words and finger pointing but it can escalate under the right conditions.

There’s certainly some very confused, and awfully uncool, white blokes around.
No need to teach that at school.
