I think we should stop using woke and start using "conscious" again (lemmygrad.ml)

As usual the libs and crackers can't stop stealing from us, something dope like "woke" that used to mean being aware that we are in a country that was not built for us is now a punchline that just makes me cringe...but it's kinda hard to fuck up "conscious"; I thought it was lit when we were using it so perhaps we should just go back to that instead?

Maybe it's meaningless and there might be more important things to worry about but I think language is important and it honestly just feels like a joke calling myself woke now.

It's wild how we have to change our lingo every few years because racist whites get a hold of it

I get that it's mainly cause of the internet and it being easy access to our culture but it's like damn we can't have anything ever
