I’ve wondered if it’s ok for black people to use HN, I’ve also wondered if it’s even ok for black people to be in tech. The term “woke” was coined by black people for the purpose of empowerment and self-liberation, co-opted by white liberals to feel like they’re doing something, and then I see this site, which is supposed to be the antithesis of “woke” corporate culture.

Black people have no choice to interpret this as “we want to keep ignoring a soft genocide”.

No black person would want to be “unwoke” because to us that means enslavement, that’s how I know OP is nonblack.
