"Conservative author Bethany Mandel struggled to define the word "woke" while criticizing it in a clip that has now gone viral.
On The Hill's web series Rising, Mandel spoke to Briahna Joy Gray about her latest book and her issues with progressives or leftists and their influence on children.
At one point during the interview, Gray questioned what Mandel meant by "woke." Mandel responded that she could not give it a clear definition in a clip that has been viewed more than 2 million times."

230315__TB04Woke
Being woke speaks to the woke person's own narcissism. It's never about "caring," it's about the woke person feeling good by trying to draw attention to how good they are by virtual signaling. Notice how the woke rarely love in silence? They have to let everyone know.
@24jamesie Says:
Yet her defence after this went viral was that she didn’t like the lady’s comments on single mothers and it made her feel uncomfortable….
@neowuwei7851 Says:
Her next book will be called, I'm a Stupid Bigot and the definition will be pretty obvious.
@neowuwei7851 Says:
Anti-woke is code for "I'm an intolerant racist and bigot." 60 years ago, the anti-woke people were saying "Women and Negroes don't need the right to vote."
@mac-vl4ib Says:
woke book what a fool absolute moron
@kevinmurdoch4184 Says:
Are TYT still feuding with Briana joy gray??? 😆😁😄
@Trump_Doesnt_Wipe Says:
Woke is another word for anti-bigotry. Conservatives are against being against bigotry.
@DarknessIsThePath Says:
Being "woke" is supposed to mean being aware of injustices in a society and try to minimise, change and improve those. Woke CULTISTS however have corrupted the very meaning of "woke" itself by being hijacked by neo communists and narcissists to enforce their own delusional ideologies based on pseudo science and nonsense. They promote "DEI" for the purpose of not only "fixing" injustices but to utterly destroy everything they deem white supremacy, capitalism, fascism, binary, traditions, norms and the very foundation of western culture by always basing their entire agenda on colonialism. It is a hivemind mentality where the individuals are irrelevant, the irony is that of diversity, it is based funnily enough on eugenics, the very ideology they claim to despise by focusing on lowering standards to the lowest denominator based on this way of thinking at the expense of others, and everything is about quotas and submitting to the neo communist ideology without question. For the people caught in the middle of fascists and communists, you might as well see the choice between Hitler and Stalin. That is how bad this woke cult is.

I totally agree with the content of this video!!!!!

@bxjibaro73 Says:
😆 🤣 😂 Typical 🤡Conservative who MISUSES the word and is CLUELESS when asked to define it. 😆 🤣 😂
@AttackOnTitanlover2077 Says:
I think the definition of woke is to be aware of your surroundings like political and things. Another term is to wake up like you’re waking up from a deep sleep or something.
@dorothykilgallenwasmurdere1653 Says:
Woke is allowing yourself to be pushed into thinking these pronouns… I identify as…., LBQT whatever is NORMAL… , so woke us really saying, you’re deviant, and you think it’s ok to be deviant…. So, ITS THE WRONG WAY TO BE!!
@tammymoulton7588 Says:
Awareness and empathy?
@Mega-Tim Says:
Woke literally just means 'progressive'.
@TheaterPup Says:
Ana is correct. The left needs to quit being the word police, or they're just going to lose people.
@Thunderlion-yd4nv Says:
2:30--Right. However, I hear "woke" being used really any time minorities are involved in something (specifically when they're involved in non-subjugated positions)
@bmminc3001 Says:
It means different things to different people...give it a break..so a tree is a different thing to different people..woke is the conservatives way of saying diversity..
@jacewoods411 Says:
Stutter Stutter Stutter bout sums it up😮😅😂
@markm3869 Says:
woke goes up in smoke... woke is a joke. Here is a definition from my anti-woke no more choke brothers n sisters. Just trying to help.
@AgentOccam Says:
It's just the new "PC", or "PC gone mad". With the right in America, it's almost talking points; no policy of any significance.
@mrflynn01 Says:
How about “stay woke” is a term used by blk ppl since the 40’s.
@harryhaller8079 Says:
I have no problem explaining WOKE, as I see it is everything they don't like, so as far as I'm concern, I use the word back, I don't like republicans, so they are WOKE to me
@AnthonyCrosby-b4r Says:
Trump made all the cockroaches come out of the woodwork.
@sketchtheparadigmyork1217 Says:
What’s really ironic is the Republican Party LOOOOVES the word “agenda”…
@sketchtheparadigmyork1217 Says:
They throw around woke so much… and it keeps coming up, the gays are trying to brainwash kids. Yet when I was a kid Disney was pretttyyy straight, but I turned out gay.
@OfnionGidnir Says:
Since they call us w0ke... should we start calling them sn0ze?

@Qliphoth888 Says:
If you Long pauses when trying to define a word u don't know the definition
Like Albert Einstein said if u cant explain something in simple terms u don't understand it well enough
@kayb2930 Says:
In other words they're basically sjws, which have done very little for society. As a person of color who's dealt with racism, bullying, etc., I've never felt any genuine empathy from a liberal. Almost everything they do feels like virtue signaling or trying to earn brownie points. I'm not saying conservatives are better, but I know who I'd trust if the world went to crap.
@LaDiiMomoChan Says:
You know what's so funny about this it's because that white woman was trying to tell that black woman how harmful "woke" is when she knew that the term woke came from her own people. So she knows exactly what woke means. This just shows us another moment of bigots trying to use something they literally don't even know the meaning of or they know the meaning but to out right say what it really means, would mean they want minorities to keep being oppressed and controlled and lied to.
@odiagam5755 Says:
Is woke special ? Explain ... and what are the examples in our day to day usage that "woke" is useful in our reality
@teresadave1508 Says:
Too Funny😂

@1_day2thenext35 Says:
I've read about 40 comments here defining "woke" and not one is the same.
@Hendrixxx9427 Says:
The term was repackaged by black folk and was meant for us only, yet the politicians use the term as if it means hate to other people. It’s literally the opposite..
@juanajones9122 Says:
Explain woke. This so call author wrote about something she can't explain? Uh??? That book should be used to support an unbalance piece if furniture. After you get it free for buying anything over fifty cents. Ha!!!
@shuanalazette6077 Says:
This what's called "stay in your own lane"
@tdsoldier3198 Says:
Woke is choosing reality over conspiracy, hope over fear, courage over cowardice, and empathy over cruelty for a better future. Woke is about addressing past injustices of our country, not because it's easy but because it's hard and neccessary to create a more perfect union.
@aglady4032 Says:
Republicans I am sorry in my opinion this lady is sounds crazy WOW person I have ever heard speak she doesn't even know what Wokeness is and admitted . She wrote a book and some editor paid her money for a book that she doesn't even know what she is saying.
Republicians you need to kick her out of your Party she is so embarrassing to the Republicians Party WOW 😳😮😳
@crazybrony104 Says:
Woke in a political term is to stay alert on racial prejudice and discrimination
@t2themk2thec Says:
People think "woke" is political. It is a spiritual experience. The term indicates that a person has achieved an insight into him or herself to the extent they can understand the reason for their existence. The interesting thing about weaponizing the term "woke" is that it only serves to reflect how "unwoke" those are who use it pejoratively.
@jamesblames350 Says:
Woke is cancer
@Ateamdeferred Says:
Where the f is the original video without you guys interrupting it to take a 10 minutes victory lap, I was just trying to find it unedited to share, why is that so much to expect!?
@tsayadyamar7785 Says:
Woke comes from the streets & black ppl who were conscious & so called radical use the damn word... The Panthers were Woke ,Malcom X was woke... Not being blind to the oppression of our ppl by the government & this system is Woke. The left or the right aren't Woke. Left & the right believe in & have views totally against the views of what being Woke truly is. Supporting transsexuals is not Woke. A Woke person sees the attack on men when it comes to that. White ppl & black ppl who grew up in white college's high jacked the word & changed the damn definition!
@krisburgess2857 Says:
Woke has broken the brains of the far right and they can’t even explain what Woke really means but they will keep on saying Woke just to push another fake narrative propaganda nonsense it is just a tool to manipulate and brainwash u to what is really going on in the country with the rich and powerful openly bribing both these horrible parties the Dems and the facist republicans and they do the same with the fake culture wars has well
@greeneyedgirlarteno6063 Says:

@MatthewSmith-wv5fi Says:
I don't have this problem. Woke = blind faith in an ideology. Like a cult or religion.
They are every bit as looney as evangelicals.
