When people say "wokeness" has gone too far and long for the supposed good old days, they are expressing a nostalgia for slavery and segregation when Black people were In Our Place, AKA *formally* outside the protections of citizenship and personhood.

Black folks have never, ever, had anything like "equality" within the US and Canada, and the minor but life-savings and hard-won gains Black folks have made in recent decades are now being violently attacked on both sides of the border. This is the goal of the attacks on "DEI" and "wokeness."

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.
