Do you think woke has any elements of race to the term?
Yes, of course I do, it originated within in black culture to refer to people who are awake to racial prejudice and discrimination, it was about awareness in terms of social justice. But now it's expanded to be more comprehensive, includes LGBTQ, etc., but it’s still about prejudice and discrimination.
If you think the right’s use of the term woke is not primarily a racially charged term, then you aren’t paying attention, the right has gone all in on white identity politics, and the word woke has evolved to consolidate the prejudice and discrimination against the “them” of their “us/them” thinking.

A rejection of the term Woke is necessarily a rejection of the theory of race.

...."egalitarian society",...
Four Musketeers { woke? }....'all for one and one for all'...... Family is about all for one and one for all, it its best ideal. We a a family of humans on a finite planet with finite resources, and rising population that only wants more, at any cost to the ecological environment that sustains them. Divide and conquer { self annilhation } unify and survive { Great Britain in 40's }
In the movie Trumbo { Alan Cranston actor } his whole family were part of the business of his making money to support family after McCarthy blacklisted him.
..."However, it may well have been Kirk Douglas' intervention during his work on the same year's Spartacus which played the greatest part in destroying the blacklist. Douglas was also executive producer on the project, and he insisted to Universal pictures that Trumbo be named as screenwriter of Stanley Kubrick's Roman epic.
..."And then there was director Otto Preminger's public announcement in January 1960 that prominent member of the Hollywood 10 Dalton Trumbo, who had been working under pseudonyms for the past 16 years, was the screenwriter of his film Exodus.
.."Alfred Hitchcock also helped rock the foundations of a way of thinking which held sway in Tinseltown for more than a decade when he hired blacklisted actor Norman Lloyd as an associate producer for the TV series Alfred Hitchcock Presents, in 1957.
..." More than one man broke the Hollywood anti-communist blacklist. John Henry Faulk may well have started the ball rolling in 1957 after he sued a company called AWARE, one of the many private organisations making a fast buck at the time by publicising the names of supposed left wing sympathisers in the US film industry.

You should definitely ignore any politician asking you to vote for them so they can have more power and control over your life.
And woke is a pretext for power and control. Sophisticated race grifting.

That’s a well written article. Made me think of Robin DiAngelo, who has probably profited the most with the least talent of any in the anti racist movement. Perhaps she couldn’t make it as a Tarot card reader?
