Woke worship!

I am in my mid-50s and over the last year, my late-20s daughter has moved back into our house after 4 years at an East Coast private university working on a Doctoral Degree, because of Covid.

This is her daily woke worship ritual:

1. Read, remember or discover something that someone said, did or thought (usually from some subreddit or another or some memory of how her mother or me treated her or one of her siblings).

2. Come upstairs from her basement bedroom, fuming.

3. Find her mother or me, or both.

4. Angrily describe the injustice to us.

5. Call the perpetrator (usually us or some other family member) some name: bigot, homophobe, racist, etc.

6. Be outraged until she discovers some other thing that upsets her.

Repeat for infinity.

There is no joy or humor in her life. But she has worshiped this way in our house for months. It is her ritual. Of course, nothing ever changes because that's not the point. The point is to be OUTRAGED.

I think this is what DeAngelo is doing. And everyone of her ilk. Don't resolve anything. Don't make progress. BE OUTRAGED!

“I was excited and felt an immediate need to let them know I was not racist,” she explains, adding: “I proceeded to spend the evening telling them how racist my family was. I shared every racist joke, story, and comment I could remember my family ever making…”

When someone tells you they're incapable of self-awareness, believe them.
