Democratic Congresswoman Cori Bush, a member of the House Oversight Committee, said this week that being "anti-woke" is the same as being "anti-Black."
"When you say I’m ‘anti-woke’, when you talk about wokeness, you’re saying I’m anti-black, and I don’t want black people to speak up for themselves. I don’t want equality and justice for black folks," the Missouri Democrat said during a House Oversight Committee meeting on Tuesday during a hearing on environmental, social and governance, which is also known as ESG and derided by many conservatives as a way for the left to use social credit score to force businesses and financial institutions to adopt progressive ideologies.
"I say to those who say, ‘Wokeness, wokeness, wokeness’ who are anti-woke that this is not wokeness what we talked about in here," Bush continued. "And you should be on the side of folks who say they are woke because we are saying no more oppression against our community."
"So whatever else is being thrown around, unless you are saying, ‘I’m racist. I’m white supremacist, and I’m bigoted,' stop talking about wokeness, and you can’t tell me that I’m wrong because I’m from the very movement where this came about. Don’t let a fascist tell you what being woke means."
Bush reiterated her position on Twitter the next day saying, "As Democrats, we’ve got to push back on the GOP’s ‘war on woke.’ We know it’s rooted in anti-Blackness. We cannot sit idly by as these folks get in front of cameras and yell, "Woke," at everything."
"It’s our communities that the GOP is targeting. We have to stand up for us."

I am Switzerland.
I say if you’re a democrat, you’re an anti-American, white hating, racists SOB. So there.
No it doesn’t. Threatening to use the ‘Race Card’ doesn’t work quite as well or as reliably as it used to, Huh, Cori?
More people, regardless of race are willing to speak up and object when a policy doesn’t seem fair or even logical. Some will simply ignore the implied emotional blackmail, and refuse to accept the burden of implied guilt.
Cory Bush used to have a beard....but she broke up with him!
(Music sting)
Everything is racist!
Everything is bad!
If you say you’re not a racist,
We will disagree!
Racism is our banner,
To accuse with all our foes!
It’s the one thing we are sure of,
It’s our only rhetoric!
Onward, Woke Democrats,
Accusing all our foes!
With the banner of racism,
Beating their heads in.
They are all lexicographers wannabees: they get to define the words they use for themselves *and* the words people use for themselves!
Like, I am a woman. They want to redefine woman and then make up a word for what I am. No thank you! Just define your own words, if you can...
If I were black, I would be insulted by being lumped in with groomers and sexual deviants.
Woke is inherently anti-black.
Cori Bush is a Marxist Dem.
‘Squad’ member Cori Bush: Saying you are ‘anti-woke’ means you are ‘anti-Black’
Saying that means you are a filthy democrat.
Bush has the IQ of a subhuman life form.
At their core, whether they know it or not, communists hate all people.
Mental illness is becoming rampant.
Since “woke”, is an illiterate ghetto term, I will gladly except that claim.
“You ain’t woke, man!”
There’s something about Bushes.
