Wokeness is a highly charged topic with varying opinions that often distract from the actual data. While mainstream narratives focus on extreme behaviors, it is crucial to analyze the prevalence and context of wokeness over time to assess the validity of those narratives. Specific examples, such as a dinner hosted by two women of color for paying white women to discuss racism, illustrate the performative aspects of wokeness. This highlights a tendency among certain liberal individuals to engage in actions that may prioritize outward appearances over genuine understanding.
