Stay woke!

2019-03-06 06:47:05 | 今日の単語
Scott Gottlieb, who has done an absolutely terrific job as Commissioner of the FDA, plans to leave government service sometime next month....
....Scott has helped us to lower drug prices, get a record number of generic drugs approved and onto the market, and so many other things. He and his talents will be greatly missed!


Anyone else agree that we won't get to miss him because he is on his way to a six figure job with "Big Pharma"? At least we KNOW he can't show up as a lobbyist for at least several years because of the pledge the trump regime promised to have administrators sign. Stay woke!





Update: This word was added in September 2017.

If you frequent social media, you may well have seen posts or tweets about current events that are tagged #staywoke. Woke is a slang term that is easing into the mainstream from some varieties of a dialect called African American Vernacular English (sometimes called AAVE). In AAVE, awake is often rendered as woke, as in, “I was sleeping, but now I’m woke.”
stay wokeはスラングである。白人にやられているとか、警察権力が、トランプがとかいう時の常套句。ジョンレノンのように、白人も警察権力もないマクドナルドを想像してみるだけでは不十分というメッセージ。ヒステリックな反応をSNSで呼びかける手法である。

Woke is a political term of African American origin that refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice.[1] It is derived from the African American Vernacular English expression "stay woke", whose grammatical aspect refers to a continuing awareness of these issues. Its widespread use since 2014 is a result of the Black Lives Matter movement.[1][2]

Deriving from "stay awake," to stay woke is to keep informed of the shitstorm going on around you in times of turmoil and conflict, specifically on occasions when the media is being heavily filtered- such as the events in Ferguson Missouri in August 2014.

The headlines say they looted McDonald's, but they won't tell you about the tear gas the police threw at the crowds, or the fact that they needed the milk from the McDonald's to treat the effects of it. Stay woke.
