NOW we must submit to believing in the “woke” lifestyle because THEY SAY we must.
Take this example; companies must hire a diverse workforce in all levels of their worker structure. This means they do not get to hire the best candidate with the best qualifications, but the one who identifies as the correct gender, skin color, ethnic background. The thinking is WE MUST comply with the wishes of the few to satisfy their requirements.
Now let’s look at sports; how many Hispanic, gender identifiers, white, Asian, Pacific Islanders and other groups are represented in the NBA or the NFL? Looks hypocritical to me and the excuse is “they sign the best talent to support the team”. Why then are companies not allowed to do the same? This is pure and utter garbage. I don’t care how someone else lives until these same groups try to shove this crap down my throat!!!
Unfortunately, the Catholic Church has offended ALL its members with this same garbage. They have allowed and covered up the pedophilia that has transpired for YEARS, then hides their finances in order to avoid paying damages to those they were abused. What a bunch of utter hypocrites. All that knew or should have known should be imprisoned and be sexually sanitized.

Woke.....shmoke.
