Thanks!
Are you as upset about people who are against injustice and racism as OP?I am if they mis use it like it seems in this case ,aren't you?
Definitely, he's completely misunderstood what woke means, and gone off on one based on a outrage story designed to trigger people who are susceptible to such things.
I can't really adequately express how uninterested I am in your definition of Woke.
Woke includes collective guilt, if you do feel like addressing the issues. "My definition of woke is the dictionary definition. Yours is something from a website about slang. | |||

" From Sky: "During a whole school assembly at Brauer College in Victoria, Australia, all male students were told to stand up, turn to a girl in their class and say sorry. Parents were "furious" and "outraged", Sky News Australia reported, adding that the boys' parents were not notified beforehand."" A few thing here....... 1) sky news Australia in not the same company that is sky news in the UK 2) sky news in the UK and the entire Sky European operation is owned by Comcast..... Sky news Australia is owned by the Murdochs... 3) Sky news Australia is basically the Australian version on Fox News in the US, it runs opinion programming.... it regularly gets in the likes of Katie Hopkins for views on stories | |||

Why are you suggesting that only the left wing are against racism and injustice?

Are you as upset about people who are against injustice and racism as OP?I am if they mis use it like it seems in this case ,aren't you?
Definitely, he's completely misunderstood what woke means, and gone off on one based on a outrage story designed to trigger people who are susceptible to such things.
I can't really adequately express how uninterested I am in your definition of Woke.

There's 100s of them. They're designed to wind up morons and distract people. It works. As demonstrated in this thread. The story is very thin on facts, doesn't give any context and doesn't tell us very much at all about what happened. 
Why would I waste my time researching it. 100 to 1 it's the same as the Rule Britannia being banned in Aberdeen Uni story.

Go for it, Brexit threads are more news worthy than anti , anti racist threads No mate, started a topical topic today only to be told i was the equivalent to Goebbels and spreading propaganda. I will wait until another doom and gloom post turns up just to keep the shutdown crew happy.
The OP will start more of his brexit confusion threads soon. Don't worry.
there ya go then doom and gloom threads brexit confusion threads two sides of a coin lol
Indeed.
I see brexit confusion based on misinformation.
You see people who challenge the misinformation and misconceptions as being negative people.
Fundamental difference.
Something being negative or positive is unrelated to how true it is.there ya go again yr on a roll tday painting me as something I’m not I call people who only talk about the negative part of British history and never the positive as been a negative person but don’t let that stop ya lol
But that doesn't happen for real. You imagine it to happen."yep you never do that mate and yr correct I imagine it fair dos wtf | |||

Are you as upset about people who are against injustice and racism as OP?I am if they mis use it like it seems in this case ,aren't you?
Definitely, he's completely misunderstood what woke means, and gone off on one based on a outrage story designed to trigger people who are susceptible to such things.
I can't really adequately express how uninterested I am in your definition of Woke.
Woke includes collective guilt, if you do feel like addressing the issues.
All I can see and read on here is gammon rage and confusion. It is sad to see
There it is again....
Definition from the Cambridge dictionary - a white man who is middle-aged (= from about 45 to 60 years old) and whose opinions are very right-wing (= supporting the political right):
Does the term gammon offend you ?
Does it matter whether it offends me or not?
You're the one who gets upset about people using woke (anti, anti racist) as a slur whilst you use gammon as a slur (racist). As I said, quite ironic really
Of course it matters if it offends you. I have had a look online, I can’t see any evidence that it is a racist term, maybe you can show me the opposite, I don’t want to be using racist terms on here
I gave you the Cambridge dictionary definition. How much evidence do you need? See the part where it describe a 'white man'. Not any colour or gender as you claim.
That doesn’t make it racist , do you know that snowflakes are white as well? I want evidence that people are offended by the term . "Using slurs against someone's race (in this case, white men) isn't racist now? As I've said, both left and right wing politicians seem to think it is. | |||

"Are we at peak woke or is there more to come? : "Parents and male students were left 'mortified' after their school forced them to stand in assembly and apologise to their female classmates for sexual assaults committed by males. Brauer College in the south-western Victorian town of Warrnambool held an assembly on Wednesday where boys were told to stand up in a symbolic gesture of apology to girls and women." I'd bet there isn't one boy who hasn't disrespected a female. In words or deeds" you have just stereo typed every male child and assumed what their behavior is.... wow.. yes of course all boys are horrible sexist pigs and all girls are angels lol from birth lol | |||

You suggest it exists, where it does not. Men & boys continue to see women & girls as objects and not equals. Sure it isn’t all men & boys, but denying the problem exists at a significant level across society is wrong. It needs to be recognised and resolved. | |||

"nevermind so called 'woke'. judging by this thread the paranoid culture warriors of the 'ashleep' cult are going frantic. peak 'ashleep' will arrive sometime after their guru Andrew Neil has started to tell them what to think on his new comedy tory gammon propaganda channel. british 'ashleepness' will achieve new lows" Be careful, some on here are offended by the term gammon  | |||

"Stupid idea of the school to make people apologise for something they have not done just because of others. Should they make all Muslim children stand up and apologise for groups like Isis" Excellent. Step 1: Anger and rage Step 2: Bring Muslims into it.

Where is the step: Find out what actually happened?" “At the assembly we spoke about the difficult topic of derogatory and sexualised language and violence against women. the assembly also covered the idea of bystander action and how students have the power to play a role in stopping inappropriate behaviour,” principal Jane Boyle wrote. As part of these discussions, the school’s boys were asked to stand, as a symbolic gesture, apologise for the behaviours of their gender that have hurt or offended girls and women. “I’d like to assure you that this was conceived with the best of intentions. However, in retrospect we recognise that this was inappropriate.” Direct from the horses mouth so to speak. | |||

It took me all of 30 seconds to get a direct quote, and from none of the outlets you dismiss. You could've found it yourself rather than dismissing without a counter. This is part of the problem with these debates, too many people just ridicule and dismiss without any counter just because they don't like the source. | |||

None of the outraged people had any interest in finding out what actually happened. Just more interested in being angry and blaming "woke", following the right wing agenda and not thinking for themselves about why this section of the media promotes these kind of stories, meanwhile completely ignore actual news. | |||

Are we breeding division? These apparently small acts can do a lot of damage and I bet some of the boys in that school, who have shown nothing but kindness will be pissed off they have been labelled and punished regardless

The mention of Muslims was for a comparison only as is evident.

You mention about finding out what actually happened but yesterday after dismissing the whole thing because you did not like the source you said you were not going to bother yourself. Indeed. But I'm not outraged by it. So why would I go and find out the true story. The only interesting point here is how easy it is to distract people from real news." You dismiss the story due to the reporting source but say you won't look it up- classic fingers in ears. What you seem to disapprove of is it being reported at all. As it turns out the story is correct. Just because you do not like these inconvenient facts being reported does not make it a non story. | |||
