It's just more racism.

The term ‘woke’ has been used in that sense for over a hundred years. If you were woke, you’d know that.

Boru Really?
Show me an example where the word "Wokest" is used in print.
Prior to 2001.

I didn’t say ‘wokest’, I said ‘woke’. And I was referring to the sense, not the superlative.

Quote:First used in the 1940s, the term “woke” has resurfaced in recent years as a concept that symbolises awareness of social issues and movement against injustice, inequality, and prejudice.

Speaking of woke, it's actually a commercial that I just saw again on the telly.
They changed Jake, from State Farm from a white guy to a black guy.

Umm... why is it bad that this reboot (the third one, I might add) doesn’t continue the numbering and not have its premiere season numbered as the tenth (remember, there was a three-season revival in 1985 and another single-season in 2002)? Honestly, it’s more irksome to me when a series goes off the air for 20 years (say, Roseanne or Murphy Brown) decides to get a new season and they continue numbering it like nothing has happened.

I'm currently writing a script for a TV serial which I want to pitch to HBO. It's "woke" because its theme is secrecy and power. The name of the fictional secret society is the Pyramid, very similar to the Freemasons. There is also the supernatural element of demonic forces that are in contact with the Pyramidion. I'm trying to make this story a mixture of themes and elements from the following TV series: Todd McFarlane's Spawn, X-Files (original series), Death Note and Naoki Urasawa's Monster.
