3. They've been desperately trying to replace the N-word moniker with something...

Just as derogatory for quite some time.
They had landed on the word "thug"... I guess that just didn't carry the racist appeal they were hoping it would.
An "urban" doesn't work because if any of them ever left the country and came to a city. They would discover an urban area is filled with literally everybody from all walks of life.

So now they're testing out "woke". What they don't understand, is that in the black community the word "Woke" Was beginning to become a joke, before they picked it up.

And so they can have it. Because we had already thrown it in the garbage where they found it.

Isn't it funny that these people aren't even intelligent enough to make up their own words to call us. they have to steal our words and try to denigrate us with that. I wonder if that's where they 1st heard the "n-word"
