I don't consider white people capable of being "woke", but maybe that's new and I'm out of touch.

2 questions...

What's YOUR definition of "woke"?

Can any other race be "woke", with whites being the only ones who can't be?

Didn't know there was a racial connotation to "woke". Maybe there is for racists.

But by default, anyone who is black has awareness. Same with everyone else.

It was an expression by black people, about black people. Evidently it's become something else.

Woke to me is black awareness

Better complain to Google, because they seem to tie that phrase only to Brazil.

Better let both of those terms go.

lol.

"black awareness".

not one "black" person i've ever known in my sixty-six years of existence has ever used that phrase. not one.

for that matter, the expression "woke" is farcical, at best. based on what i've seen and heard it appears that only poorly educated people use it. just as almost anyone who thinks biden is up for the job of the president can never articulate why, i doubt most users of "woke" can define it. the whole thing is a regular laff riot.

Google Doodle used to have fun games. When they stopped to go full on woke, I don't even pay attention anymore. The woke logo is small if you're not on the main page so I can't see it anyway.

I'd say the international page is interesting, but I don't know what's really there because wikipedia style descriptions only do much to arouse me.

Then you got high paid engineers to do things like, type in "do a barrel roll"

Yes, the people who run Google have their opinions, and their decisions as to what what people or events should be honored with a Google Doodle are informed by those opinions. So what? It would be hard for them not to be.

I looked up who was honored yesterday, that presumably triggered this thread. I had never heard of Felicitas Mendez, and was very surprised to learn that some school desegregation was ordered by a Federal court as early as 1946, eight years before Brown v. Board of Ed. It's good to know.

There also seems to have been another Google Doodle yesterday, honoring German-Jewish poet Mascha Kaléko, born Golda Malka Aufen in 1907. Somehow, I doubt the OP is bothered by that one.
