Companies that are “Woke” are standing up for their employees. They start with WOke. They lost me right there.
He starts with being divisive using “Woke”. That is not “uniting”.
The conservative movement looks to attack those that are different from themselves.
IM not a black man but I find so many on the conservative movement promote division of races, suppress voting rights among minorities, and like her boss, The former education secretary promoting educational vouchers which takes money out of public schools and makes disadvantaged school child even more so.

The promo video seemed to have holes in it.
Does not even discuss the product or the quality. Just what values he stands for. He puts his religious beliefs above before the message that all men are created equal. Thats what standing was about.
Not sure Im down with his message. That he is monetizing it is kind of weird too.

Mostly cause they don't even know if he plays NBA basketball, not even worth the time

Conservatives love when a black man goes all in on religion and is conservative!
You missed it, his branding is about anti woke. He says his clothing represents his message.
First thing was attacking woke as it is anti conservative.
And he is trying to monetize it?

Brian Windhorst on Adam Silver’s comments on Ja Morant:

I’ve never heard anything like it, it was very unusual for him to basically say ‘I know what I’m going to do but I’m not going to announce it now.’ The second part is that he’s working alongside the players’ association on this. He’s obviously bringing them along side by side. Trust me, typically the players’ association isn’t there as the discipline is being decided on and dolled out. So this is a situation that is wide-ranging and quite frankly, the indication here is this is going to be a significant suspension. The tone and the tenor and the fact that the players’ association is involved does not indicate this is going to be similar to something we’ve seen before. And I also think Adam Silver expects a lot of reaction to what he does. He doesn’t want to be a storyline during the Finals. So take all of that under advisement when you consider what’s on the way for Ja Morant.

Issac would have opposed the Civil Rights Movement, too woke.

I'm hearing that chikfila of all place is "woke." I tapped out of the culture wars after another grown man tried to bait me into an argument over the little mermaid being black. The Supreme Court is selectively dismantling our Constitutional rights and this is the crap people are going on about.

The reality is they simply could not get a real mermaid to play Arial!
Disney likley considered that her being “tan” is actually more appealing given globally there are more non white people.

Fictional, mythical, fanciful beings are by default white, don't you know. If you cast a character that was once played by a white actor then it stands to reason that a white actor must play it forever because in the white imagination it's a white character. Let's find a real mermaid to ask them what's the most authentic depiction possible

Alpha1971 @ 6/4/2023 8:07 AM
Love to ask Isaac's and the anti woke police what do Angels look like ( are they all white too ) is it woke to depict Angels and Saints and Jesus to be dark skinned or Asian ? Should all depictions of Saints and Angels be Nordic inspired as it has become in the West. BTW Angels, forget about race, some biblical depictions of Angels are not even human in appearance. Years ago I actually had a discussion with a Arab American Maga guy who swore he was considered White, he was darker then a paper bag, who was outraged that a black woman was being considered to be cast as Wonder Woman. I said well Linda Carter is of Mexican/Spanish descent, to which he said " No Way ". People people of color like my dark Arab friend can fall I to the dumb trap of Anglo American racial myths and attribute value per that construct. Other cultures have absorbed that as well but when coming to the US it gets a strong reinforcement. For the record, my mother was Jamaican, my father white British ( Scottish, English, Welsh ) and I was adopted by a Puerto Rican family. I have looked at the issue of race putting myself in the shoes of how each group sees things and how a person like myself is treated depending for example whether I introduce myself as a " Puerto Rican, or Jamaican and even as of British descent " and see how people treat me.

At current rate, not confident Ja can go 41 games without posting at least 4 new gun videos to social.

+1000

I checked out of this culture war nonsense as well. It's become so obvious that it's objective is to divide the poor to facilitate a ghastly transition of wealth/power to the few.

I'm no fan of Isaac though. He seems like the epitome of a panderer with a victim-complex.
