Vice President Kamala Harris plans to deliver a concession speech at Howard University Wednesday after Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States.
Why must i be a queer person of colour? Sounds like ur saying im not allowed to think or say this without being a queer person of colour. Did u just prove my point?
I’ll bite. “Woke ideology” is polarizing, if not straight hostile terminology. There’s a negative connotation so you’ll immediately come across as in opposition to certain groups of people. Aside from that you claim that people judge you based on the color of your skin (race) and how you were born (race and/or gender or sexuality). Saying something like that just feels like a protest to people wanting to be accepted for who they are. You come across as though that somehow offends or inconveniences you, a probably straight, probably white, probably male person.
It’s similar to responding to “black lives matter” with “all lives matter”. BLM isn’t about saying people of color are more important, just that they’re equally important. Saying all lives matter in response to that is just a protest to their protest to stir shit up.
Hope that explained why you’re getting negative responses. If you weren’t actually trolling (which I still doubt but whatever) then I apologize. More than happy to write it out in case it helps someone sympathize with the people they’re antagonizing for whatever reason.
Full disclosure, I’m a straight white male, I’ve just had people around me personally affected so this shit bothers me. It’s not that hard to just live and let live with a little empathy.
If you’re not a queer person of color this comment is so insanely ironic.

No you troglodyte, I’m saying you’re proving theirs.
So now ur calling me a troglodyte. Why? In an attempt to bully me into complying?
No, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and assumed you were living under a rock since the alternative is a bit embarrassing.
Can u stop insulting me and enguage with my ideas in good faith?
You mean to tell me you’re engaging in good faith and not just rage bait? You used the term “woke ideology” completely earnestly?
Ok what should i call it?
