I'm seriously thinking about it, have been since yesterday, the memories come back in a flood, and it's kind of eating at me, since I have an opinion about this "woke" stuff - and I think most of it is contrived and fake - and it teaches people to be "racially aware" - and that's what comes before racism itself. And we could end up resegregating society with people in the different categories unable to converse honestly and forthrightly with one another. And this might serve another group's purpose - in the words of Sun Tzu, "if your opponent is united, divide him." I think it's no coincidence that this came out of the elite universities and has major corporate support - and then there's Fannie Kemble, writing on the construction of the Brunswick Canal in the 1830s... Lots to think about, it's going to come out in a confused jumble and the job will be to organize it in a coherent whole.
