I am genuinely sorry to hear you went through that, and I’m glad to hear — if I’ve interpreted you correctly — that some woke people provided you their support. However, I don’t believe disciples of the woke ideology have a monopoly on opposition to bullying, and I think they are often bullies themselves. Furthermore, it appears that woke ideologues are not internally consistent with their opposition to racism. Case in point: the recent demotion of Google diversity head for anti-semitism.

- yakshaving_jgt 5y agoI am arguing that Bobb is the woke party in this case, but that doesn't preclude Google from also being under the influence of woke ideologues. The woke are not beyond eating their own. It's somewhat tautological — the company would need some woke sympathy for Bobb to be installed in that particular position of power in the first place. Bobb forced Google into an untenable position which is why they had to make the move. It is perhaps also telling that he was not fired. Would a white, non-woke person have enjoyed the same leniency? Difficult to say without seeing more data, but I remain sceptic for now.
