Journalist Soledad O\u2019Brien<\/a> alerted reporters on Monday that the term “woke” has now become akin to a “racist slur” or “the n-word.”<\/p>\n

From her Twitter account, the ex-CNN anchor posted an image of a tweet from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., commenting on the Super Bowl pregame show. Greene wrote, “Chris Stapleton just sang the most beautiful national anthem at the Super Bowl. But we could have gone without the rest of the wokeness.”<\/p>\n

O\u2019Brien tweeted in response, “So reporters.. for many people \u2018woke\u2019 means Black people. Or more likely–a racist slur. So maybe do a better job in interviews when people talk about ‘wokeness’ mmkay?”<\/p>\n

She double downed by saying, “Yeah I’ve discovered that some people use it as a synonym for the n-word,” in response to a Twitter user who wrote, “I never understood what woke means.”<\/p>\n

Many social media users attacked O\u2019Brien\u2019s assertion.<\/p>\n

“I mention \u2018woke\u2019 all the time and I\u2019ve never thought about it as a euphemism for black folks. Like, ever. In fact, I know more white folks who bend over backwards for \u2018wokeness\u2019 than anything. Speaking of reporters, I remember when you were a respectable one,” Black police officer Zeek Arkham wrote.<\/p>\n

Actor Dean Cain agreed, writing, “I don\u2019t know a single person who uses \u2018woke\u2019 in that way. Quit reaching.”<\/p>\n

“That anyone ever took Soledad O\u2019Brien seriously\u2026 wow,” radio host Jason Rantz tweeted.<\/p>\n

American Spectator publisher Melissa Mackenzie remarked, “Most woke people I know aren’t black, they’re rich and white and leftist. For example, ANTIFA is woke.”<\/p>\n

“Literally zero of us use wokeness as a fill in for race. What an embarrassing thing to say. Wokeness is the self righteous virtue signaling cultural revolution that seeks to strip away our shared norms in favor of new norms that conform to an extremely far left view of the world,” conservative writer Robby Starbuck wrote.<\/p>\n

“Only dogs hear dog whistles,” Townhall.com columnist Derek Hunter commented.<\/p>\n

Regarding the backlash to her tweet, O\u2019Brien joked, “And here I am… just riding my horse this morning and missing all the drama.”<\/p>\n

However, O\u2019Brien then responded positively to a Twitter user who wrote, “When you look at the responses, these idiots prove her point.”<\/p>\n

“Every time,” O\u2019Brien replied with a heart emoji.<\/p>\n

Some reporters also supported O\u2019Brien\u2019s claims suggesting that “woke”<\/a> should be treated like a racial slur.<\/p>\n

“Newsrooms, your Black reporters have only been saying this for\u2026.two years,” ProPublica reporter Nicole Carr wrote.<\/p>\n

BRProud news director John Walton tweeted, “What she said.”<\/p>\n

“Friends, some advice,” former WCIA broadcaster Paul Cicchini shared.<\/p>\n

“THIS part,” The Virginian-Pilot editor Denise Watson wrote.<\/p>\n

The tweet followed a similar viral situation in December when former Ohio lawmaker Nina Turner challenged Twitter CEO Elon Musk to define the word “woke.”<\/a> Multiple users described the term as pushing “Marxist oppression narratives.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
