Did I say I was ashamed? No I did not.
I said it was something I was going to keep in mind. I enjoy keeping things in mind, I enjoy thinking about things. I wish more people did.

I understand. I was speaking from the point of view of a civilized person.
I think most people in the world are civilized. The laws and dogmas imposed on or taught to them? Not always so!
And I think most people in the world are concerned primarily about feeding their kids, making the rent, finding a way to live in a bit of peace. All those dogmas and other crap are the concern of people who don't have to worry about such trivialities. They have time and means to worry about who is saying what to whom, and who might possibly make their getting more prosperous more difficult.
What's a SJW?
Did you mean to post this elsewhere? I can move it if you wish.

Yeah. It seems that, when even the majority of the left-wing, woke people on RF are shaking their heads, the writer of the article stretched his activism beyond the breaking point. (Or is a troll.)
My thoughts are 'Gee, it's great that we have time to gaze deeply at our navels. Not sure who it's helping though.'
What's 'digital blackface?' And why is it wrong when White people use it? | CNN
If you're White and you've posted a GIF or meme of a Black person to express a strong emotion, you may be guilty of wearing 'digital blackface' -- a modern-day term for an insidious form of racism.www.cnn.com
What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks although I'm still not 100% sure what people mean when they use woke

In the pejorative sense, it means the kind of person who is offended by the “insidious racism of digital blackface”.
When people say “but it just means wanting to reduce inequality and is something to be proud of” this misses the point that something done with purportedly good intentions can be harmful if taken beyond a certain point.
It’s good to be protective of your children, but bad to be overprotective.
Some folk will still say “But how can it be wrong to want to keep your children safe? I wear it as a badge of honour to be called overprotective”
The subjectivity depends on where you draw the line between protective and overprotective, woke and “woke”…
He might've been.
Ain't nobody perfect.
Especially those who scream "Racist!" with wild abandon.
And excessively prone to pearl clutching.

I don't know, there are a whole lot of Republicans clutching at their pearls right now over library books and drag shows.
Both sides of the aisle clutch pearls, eh.
But the OP's theme appears to afflict the left side.

When used by conservatives, it means anything they don't like or understand. Example: cauliflower sandwich = "woke".
