The "woke content" just lumps everybody in one big pile, categorizes everyone in order to validate a theory:
After living here for 15 years, I have realized the main narrative of the "black experience" "what is means to be black" is very Anglo-US-centric.
In college, I met a Jamaican guy, the culture shock was just as intense as when I met that girl from mongolia. Totally different cultures and customs. But on paper, in the USA , Me and that Jamaican guy were just Black.
I had more in common with the White French exchange student than with the Black-American kid from Virginia.
To me: that black American kid and a white American kid were the same.
From an academical, political standpoint, Black has become synonymous with "African-American" Not just any "African-American", poor disenfranchised black Americans who are likely from the "ghetto". White means: some mean monster , who are controlling the world and are out to get everybody. So naturally I started to second guess how people acted around me.
Don't get me wrong racism is still alive and well I have experienced it in various forms:
* Prepaid for a meal at a fancy restaurant, the people before me just gave a name and grabbed their food, I was asked to show a receipt.
* Jogging in my neighborhood and having the police follow me around, almost like clockwork can't be a coincidence. (They became cool once they learned I lived there).
* Going out with my white coworkers in casual clothing vs going out with my siblings in casual clothing we have to dress extra fancy to get treated the same, otherwise we get poor service - The black guilt to tip extra at restaurants)
But: Most of the white people I've met were amazing, great people.
That mean guy, is probably a jerk to everyone and just happens to be white.
There needs to be a balance, raise awareness about issues of society, but don't go to the extreme.
In my language:
"The sky is blue, he is about to rain. I need to move my car otherwise she will get flooded"
