The Opinion from the Washington Post on 4-3-23 read, | How the 1876 presidential election enabled Jim Crow. And on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:
What started as a social gathering I was at recently turned a little sour when the women, (a reflection on our times), began arguing the politics of recent headlines. One of the husbands of dubious respectability then tried to end all argument by shouting, "...you're nothing but a bunch of wokes!"
I'd just become aware that a proper definition for woke was, "to be informed, educated of, and aware of social injustices." I couldn't help but offer the rejoinder at him, "you're damned right they are."
Following his surprised look, he was asked to describe a social injustice of his awareness. The silence was deafening.
