I think that's a valid thought. However, I find I have to do "something." I can't just sit and be quiet when people say "woke" anymore. I think this is a polite way to shut down that language at social gatherings. Will it have an effect? Well, it will make me feel a little bit better. Although, sometimes ideas like this do take hold. All it takes is a prominent person or two repeating that the white supremacist definition of "woke" is racist and disrespectful. It's not really important to change people's minds, it's important to wrestle back control of the conversation. Good comment though, I hope I didn't come off sounding combative.
