** AOC: GOP Using ‘Wokeness’ as ‘Derogatory Euphemism for Civil Rights and Justice’
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------

Sunday on Twitter ([link removed]) , proud socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ([link removed]) (AOC) declared that Republicans have been criticizing “wokeness” to distract Democrats from pursuing racial justice.

“One dangerous aspect of thinking there’s a ‘woke problem’ is that Dem chances for re-election or majorities in House, Senate, & WH rely on the racial justice issue of voting rights,” AOC wrote in a series of tweets. “Dems distancing from racial justice makes protection of voting rights less likely, ensuring losses.”

“‘Woke’ is a term pundits are now using as a derogatory euphemism for civil rights & justice. Making up a ‘woke’ problem results in putting civil & voting rights on the backburner,” she added. “In a year state legislatures are planning out GOP majorities & voter suppression, that’s dangerous.”

“People think Fox News is just about indoctrinating right-wingers, but it’s also about conditioning Dems on what to run away from,” she continued to rant. “Framing racial justice as ‘controversial’ is key to delaying the protection of voting rights (& others) until it’s too late. We shouldn’t indulge it.”

In fact, neither Republicans nor the “woke” themselves use “woke” as a euphemism for civil rights or voting rights. Being “woke” — a term popularized by the left, not the right — means being “enlightened” about social justice issues. It means seeing the world through the neo-Marxist lens that divides the world into the white, hetero-capitalist “oppressor” on the one hand and the intersection of various supposedly “oppressed” racial and gender groups on the other.

This is how Ocasio-Cortez and the Democrat Party as a whole see the world, and it drives their radical politics, which is why she doesn’t want Fox News to disparage it or shine a spotlight on it.

** Defending Critical Race Theory
------------------------------------------------------------

During a July 19, 2021 interview on CNN’s Don Lemon Tonight, Ocasio-Cortez spoke ([link removed]) in defense of the teaching of Critical Race Theory ([link removed]) in America’s public schools: “Why don’t you want our schools to teach anti-racism? Why don’t Republicans want their kids to know the tradition of anti-racism in the United States? Why are Republicans trying to ban books in this country? Why are Republicans trying to ban speech? Why are they trying to fire certain professors? Why are they attacking the core roots of history in this country that strays anything beyond what we already know? Why don’t Republicans want us to learn how to not be racist? Why don’t Republicans want kids to know how to not be racist?”

The congresswoman continued: “Republicans are using these words like Critical Race Theory, which again is a law school curriculum that is not even taught in schools. Their argument is well, some teachers may be exposed to it. Oh, wow, so your child’s teacher is anti-racist and actually fluent in how to dismantle racism in the dynamics of racism in a classroom. That is something that teachers should know how to do. Republicans are trying to ban this. They are trying to ban us from knowing our own history. Because if we don’t know our own history, then it is easier for them to curtail our rights to vote and take us backward to the 1960s as they have been doing with many state laws.”

Ocasio-Cortez also “the Republican base and party” of having “pivoted to using race and using the changing demographics of this country and as we saw on January 6, using a white supremacist core logic in order to reanimate a very core fear of the other in this country.”
