Sunny Hostin claimed on Monday that it was "un-Godly" and "not Christian"
to oppose woke culture, arguing that people who did so only proved that
they did not care about their neighbors.
 
Hostin and THE VIEW cohost Whoopi Goldberg discussed their own personal
histories, saying that because they had always been around people who were
fighting for things like Civil Rights and other issues, they had "never
been asleep".
 
"I thought about the conversations that you and I have had, Whoopi, so
many times about the co-opting of the word 'woke,'" Hostin began. "And
the fact that the right somehow has made it a dirty word."

The meanings of words change over time, Sunny. You're allegedly a

Do we need to go over the history of the word 'gay' for that concept to sink
through that bone spur you call a skull?

"And so Whoopi will often tell me, 'I've never been asleep,'" she added.
"And that's how I feel... so it angers me when people are like, 'This woke
stuff gotta go.' That's telling me that you don't care about my lived
experience

Well, you got that one right, Sunny. I don't care about your 'lived
experience'. You're one of the most racist people on TV. You're a horrible
person and whatever experiences you've had concern me not in the slightest.

And what the hell is 'lived experience, anyway? What other experience could
you have other than that through which you've lived?

Ditto for "my truth". There is no such thing. They're describing their
opinion.

you don't care about the oppression of the LGBTQ community

>
What more protections do they need? They've already been included in the
civil rights statutes as a protected class and they have Hollywood, the
government, academia, and every major corporation constantly celebrating
them like the second coming. When you have every sector of society throwing
you a party, you're no longer oppressed.

Whenever one of my aquiaintences starts that nonsense, i ask them for exact
examples of this so-called "oppression" and "loss of rights". Unsurprisingly,
I get this look like a fish removed from water.

you don't care about the oppression of immigrants

>
This is 'progressive' code for, "You're a racist if you oppose unfettered
illegal immigration and complete non-enforcement of United States
immigration law."

Note how thbey conflate illegal with legal immigration.
