Re: Institutionalized Distrust: For the zillionth time this lifetime, I'm ashamedly guilty of letting my microcosm boil over into my worldview.

When "woke" became a synonym for "lit", its etymology ceased to significantly matter, I guess. Maybe it was organic, originally, but I'm not going to attempt to dissect that timeline. And 'bl00 is right, Brooks definitely means well with his efforts, but there was already a lot of whiff'ing going on in the generation gap. Sprinkling in race wasn't going to bridge anything. Almost-good hustle, though.

I also apologize for the generally negative vibe I've been rolling with around here. Apparently, I'm trying to go from a B.S. to a PhD in three years. Wasn't my idea.
