The word "woke" began in the Black community prior to the civil rights movement of the 1960s and 70s. It was a code word for people who recognized the unequal treatment of the black community. During this time period, most Americans would not have known the word at all. Many of us worked very hard to remove any and all road blocks to equal treatment under the law. Many institutions offered preferred opportunities to previously oppressed groups. We were quite united as a country to give all individuals equal opportunities. Now the word "woke" is associated with identity politics, intersectionality and critical race theory. These are academic studies that have come from some of the European 19th and 20th century philosophers, some of them the same as those who gave rise to the socialist and communist theories of that period. Do we care about what happened in the Gulags, the Bolshevik Revolution and the Chinese Cultural Revolution? I do. So, now we have a resurgence of similar tactics where everything is about power. People are once again judged on the basis of their color and ethnicity. People are either privileged or victims. In this scenario the individual is non-existent. For the "unwoke" who take personal responsibility for caring for their neighbors (all of them) to say "let the government take care of it," is callous and cold. Christian Hospital systems used to take care of many thousands of charity cases free of charge. Now, most of them have been sold because they refused to be party to the killing of babies. So, now the hospitals are funded by complicated government systems that is costing all of the tax-payers so much that it threatens to bankrupt us, and the quality of care and concern is now lagging. On average Republicans contribute more to charitable and philanthropic efforts than Democrats. (See: https://apply.surveymonkey.com/resources/partisanship-influence-charitable-giving/)
The politicians in traditionally Blue States talk compassion but deliver confusion, violent cities and corrupt policies leading to poverty. Red states tend to have balanced budgets and many individuals who volunteer to help those in need. Currently, I'm living in a Red State and it is one of the most prosperous per capita. We have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country. We have many volunteer organizations that bring people off of the streets and help them get a leg up. So, my suggestions are well founded.

Your quote "Blue States talk compassion but deliver confusion, violent cities and corrupt policies leading to poverty." For example, an analysis of FBI crime data in 2020, cross-referenced with political leanings, found that states leaning Republican had higher per capita violent crime rates compared to states leaning Democratic [1].

Your quote. "We were quite united as a country to give all individuals equal opportunities." Really? When was this? What evidence can you provide for that assertion? Both woke and unwoke are associated with identify politics. Do unwoke people care for their neighbors more than woke people? if so, share your evidence for this assertion. There are many philosophical and political influence that affected the development critical race theory. Marxism was one of those influences. Perhaps you can identify in critical race theory where Marxism is present. How does that relate to your giant leap to Gulags, the Bolshevik Revolution and the Chinese Cultural Revolution? This is the red reflex. Chat-GPT do not provide any evidence about hospitals being sold due to a refusal to be party to abortions. Share your evidence. Here is one reference that conservatives are more generous than liberal in chartable giving. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34429211/.
The word "woke" is divisive. It is not a proper English word for how it is being used and so it is used for differing purposes by various groups of people. As much as people try to make it a virtuous term of fairness and goodness, others will point out that the actions of people who subscribe to the doctrine are just the opposite. In a world where language is becoming less precise every day, it is more and more difficult to discern meanings. People resort to watching actions instead of words. In many instances the "unwoke" are more exhibitory in compassion and decency than the "woke." Conservative peoples have traditionally been very involved in sharing resources with the needy. The farmers bring truckloads of needed commodities to areas of need. Churches often have outreach programs and soup-kitchens and other means of lifting people out of dire circumstances. The usual emphasis is to take care of neighbors and communities. When they are then accused of not caring about "fairness," they have no idea about what they are hearing. It seems not to apply to them at all. Then they hear that all of this "fairness" should be relegated to more and more centralized government, they are rightly concerned. Large governments are notoriously ineffective and inefficient. They have a tendency to generalize everything, and they limit decision-makers to small numbers of so called "experts" and we know how that goes. With decision-makers increasingly isolated from the on-the-ground experience and consequences the decisions become less intelligent and responsive, and less responsible. I think that the sister monument to the Statue of Liberty might actually be the Statue of Responsibility. I don't think that we can ever get to "fairness" by delegating our personal responsibility to care for our neighbors to impersonal governments. I have searched the Equity Muses site for the word "Responsibility" with very poor results. Only two hits. I would share the picture but this format won't allow it.
Thanks for responding, Colleen. But who has made the word divisive? And why? And how are the "unwoke" are more exhibitory in compassion and decency than the "woke."? Please provide names of unwoke politicians who are more compassionate than woke ones?

Another study focused on gun death rates and found higher rates in red states compared to blue states [2]. Please provide evidence to contradict this references.

Your quote. "We were quite united as a country to give all individuals equal opportunities." Really? When was this? What evidence can you provide for that assertion? Both woke and unwoke are associated with identify politics. Do unwoke people care for their neighbors more than woke people? if so, share your evidence for this assertion. There are many philosophical and political influence that affected the development critical race theory. Marxism was one of those influences. Perhaps you can identify in critical race theory where Marxism is present. How does that relate to your giant leap to Gulags, the Bolshevik Revolution and the Chinese Cultural Revolution?

The word "woke" is divisive. It is not a proper English word for how it is being used and so it is used for differing purposes by various groups of people. As much as people try to make it a virtuous term of fairness and goodness, others will point out that the actions of people who subscribe to the doctrine are just the opposite. In a world where language is becoming less precise every day, it is more and more difficult to discern meanings. People resort to watching actions instead of words. In many instances the "unwoke" are more exhibitory in compassion and decency than the "woke." Conservative peoples have traditionally been very involved in sharing resources with the needy. The farmers bring truckloads of needed commodities to areas of need. Churches often have outreach programs and soup-kitchens and other means of lifting people out of dire circumstances. The usual emphasis is to take care of neighbors and communities. When they are then accused of not caring about "fairness," they have no idea about what they are hearing. It seems not to apply to them at all. Then they hear that all of this "fairness" should be relegated to more and more centralized government, they are rightly concerned. Large governments are notoriously ineffective and inefficient. They have a tendency to generalize everything, and they limit decision-makers to small numbers of so called "experts" and we know how that goes. With decision-makers increasingly isolated from the on-the-ground experience and consequences the decisions become less intelligent and responsive, and less responsible. I think that the sister monument to the Statue of Liberty might actually be the Statue of Responsibility. I don't think that we can ever get to "fairness" by delegating our personal responsibility to care for our neighbors to impersonal governments. I have searched the Equity Muses site for the word "Responsibility" with very poor results. Only two hits. I would share the picture but this format won't allow it.
Responsibility is explicit in the first simple rule of equity. Equity is shared and individual responsibilities to be fair and kind to everyone.
Thanks for responding, Colleen. But who has made the word divisive? And why? And how are the "unwoke" are more exhibitory in compassion and decency than the "woke."? Please provide names of unwoke politicians who are more compassionate than woke ones?
