    this thread is fun, either you're the type who can care about someone else or you're a selfish prick. strange how both sides are proud of themselves, though. stranger still is the amount of hate spewn for known rhetoric when the obvious truth is right before you. woke is nothing more than being aware of social injustice. that doesn't even take time out of a privileged life. just don't be a dick. be understanding. but to ignore cops killing blacks, shooters attacking homosexuals, choosing to amplify the nonsense instead of addressing the issues is nothing short of sad and pathetic.

    • I disagree. Boiling the current cultural landscape down to a binary choice for a planet of human individuals is monumentally naive.Morning_star
    • you can disagree, you'll still be wrong. acting as if it is not a binary decision to care or not is asinine. clear cut discrimination is not up for discussion.imbecile

    Imbecile, I like how you surgically circumvent the core of this thread: why the term "woke" has become what it is, and why it's harming support for the issues you've posted

    The hue of homo-sapiens skin has until recently been a product of where those homo-sapiens resided in regards to Longitude.

    While the modern world tries to embrace diversity, it is actualisation a disruption to the longitudinal evolution of the homo-sapien species.

    The more pronounced effects of this are either a reduction in vitamin D3 synthesis or an increase in sunburn.

    Discuss.

    • There’s a lot of evidence that our ancestors didn’t give a fuck about skin colour. Most trading port cities had people living together quite peacefullyGnash
    • People were more defined by their ethnicity/culture, not by their colourGnash
    • yup, but I think it still is. If you look at the issues in the US with race, it's not the colour of the skin that's the issue but the ethnicity/culture probably_niko
    • plenty of Indian doctors or engineers or in Tech that are way darker than most black Americans but people aren't as racist towards them._niko
    • Even recent African immigrants to the US be it business people, students, professionals or workers are treated with more respect._niko

    Sergeant Isaac Woodard Jr. was a decorated African American World War II veteran. He is most known for an incident that happened on February 12, 1946, shortly after his honorable discharge from the United States Army. On his way home to Winnsboro, South Carolina, while on a bus trip from Camp Gordon in Georgia, he was attacked by law enforcement officials, which led to him being permanently blinded.

    During the bus trip, Woodard asked the bus driver if he could stop to use a restroom. The bus driver initially refused, but eventually stopped the bus. When Woodard returned, he and the bus driver got into an argument. Despite the intervention of other passengers who sided with Woodard, the driver stopped at the next town, Batesburg (now Batesburg-Leesville, South Carolina), and contacted the police. Woodard was removed from the bus and arrested by Chief of Police Linwood Shull.

    While in custody, Woodard was brutally beaten by Shull with a nightstick, which resulted in Woodard losing his sight in both eyes. Despite national attention and the subsequent trial of Shull (who was defended by a future governor of South Carolina), the all-white jury quickly acquitted Shull.

    The incident, and the failure of the justice system to hold anyone accountable, sparked national outrage and galvanized the civil rights movement in the United States. It prompted President Harry S. Truman to establish the President's Committee on Civil Rights, and also led to the desegregation of the armed forces via Executive Order 9981 in 1948.

    Woodard's life and the horrific incident that befell him were also recognized and remembered in popular culture, including in a 2019 documentary titled "The Blinding of Isaac Woodard."

    There is a monument dedicated to Sergeant Isaac Woodard in Batesburg-Leesville, unveiled in February 2021, 75 years after the incident.

    Ellen and William Craft were an enslaved married couple from Macon, Georgia in the United States who escaped to the North in December 1848 by traveling openly by train and steamboat, arriving in Philadelphia on Christmas Day. They became celebrities among abolitionists in the North and their daring and innovative escape has been widely written about in historical literature and was a symbolic blow against slavery.

    Their escape plan was quite ingenious and relied heavily on Ellen's light-skinned complexion, which allowed her to pass for white. William was to pose as Ellen's personal servant. Ellen disguised herself as a white male planter due to her light skin. Because she couldn't write, Ellen wore her right arm in a sling to avoid having to sign any documents and feigned illness, which explained why her "servant" would handle all interactions.

    They traveled by train and steamboat from Georgia to Pennsylvania, a free state, and their journey took them about a week. Throughout their travel, they faced various challenges and close calls, but their clever plan and courageous execution saw them arrive in Philadelphia on Christmas Day, 1848.

    After reaching the North, the Crafts became well-known anti-slavery activists and speakers, publishing their story in a two-part article in William Lloyd Garrison's newspaper "The Liberator". Their memoir "Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom: Or, The Escape of William and Ellen Craft from Slavery" was published in 1860.

    The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, however, put them in danger even in the free states, as this law required officials in the free states to help in the capture and return of escaped slaves. The Crafts then moved to England, where they continued their activism and raised their children. After the Civil War ended and the Emancipation Proclamation was enacted, they returned to the United States and set up an educational institution for freedmen and their children in Georgia.

    Their story has been celebrated as an example of ingenuity, courage, and resistance against the oppressive system of slavery.
