Cori Bush: Republican 'anti-wokeness' is really 'anti-Black'

United States Representative Cori Bush (D-Missouri) tore into Republicans who exploit the term "woke" to cover up their prejudices.

"When you say, 'I'm anti-woke,' when you talk about wokeness, you're saying, 'I'm anti-Black and I don't want Black people to speak up for themselves. I don't want equality and justice for Black folks. So I say to those that say, wokeness, wokeness, wokeness. We're anti-woke.' This is not wokeness, what we talked about in here, and you should be on the side of folks who are woke because we are saying no more oppression against our community," Bush said.

"So whatever else is being thrown around, unless you are saying, 'I'm racist, white supremacist, and I'm bigoted,' stop talking about wokeness," Bush continued. "And you can't tell me that I'm wrong because I'm from the very movement where this came about. Don't let a fascist tell you what being woke means."
