Top 10 Times Companies Got Woke

Top 10 Times Companies Got Woke

video description

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
we’re counting down noteworthy boycotts of companies over their perceived support for progressive causes. 'Woke' began as a word in African-American communities describing awareness of racial injustice, before expanding to include other social inequalities. It's now used as a pejorative term by some right-wing groups, for whom go woke, go broke has become a rallying cry. Woke Or rather Having Empathy, showing diversity, including all different kinds of people that exist on earth, educating, enlightening, and respect!
Im sick and tired of only catering to white cis hetero men, and white cis hetero couples. It’s boring and waaaaaaaay over done to no ends. The world is diverse, so it also needs to reflect that as well.
Also, these things were made political by the conservative right. If they didn’t have an issue about real life issues, bringing everything into politics to restrict people, then we all be peacefully living our lives as it should be. But no. Blame the right for bringing people’s lives into the political world, not the existence of diversity, empathy, education, and enlightenment.

2: 18 -- KRAPernick wouldn't know the first thing about "sacrifice everything"! He didn't start his kneeling thing until after he was pretty much washed up as a player and even then made very sure it would make him a celeb/media darling.
Now you take someone like Muhammad Ali, OTOH. he sacrificed his title, his freedom, and most of all, precious YEARS of his prime fighting years. And you bet the vast majority of the public and probably the majority of the media as well did NOT support Ali refusing to be drafted as he didn't feel right fighting in a war against guys (Viet Cong) who never called him "n". Now I think Ali's reasoning makes perfect sense but that's with the benefit of decades of hindsight. Would I feel the same way if I had been around when this was a current issue with far fewer media and research outlets Maybe, maybe not.

In all of this where were all the new woke/liberal customers/fans who stepped up to the plate and made up for all the apparently less desirable "deplorable" fans/customers Did hardly any woke liberal types ever write/comment something along the lines of "You know, before I never really gave the NFL/Bud Light/etc much of a second thought but because you are such advocates of LGBT, BLM, and so on, you can count on me being a regular customer/fan! "

It's sad how some of these examples were companies legitimately trying to expand and embrace new ideas but faced criticism from vocal minorities. The world is changing but there are people complaining and moaning about it all because it means they don't get to sit at the top any more or that the mere idea of people not like them becoming equals offends them.

Not bad. The wording put some biased in the video & there was some missing or false info, like with Target. Who did sell, extra small swimsuits, that could only be warm by children. Or how the Marvels is the worst preforming Marvel movie, they’ve ever made. However, overall, good video. Glad to see more mainstream places, calling these companies out.

diversity is important and necessary. Anyone who throws a hissy fit because a tv show, movie, video game, a shopping store, etc showed diversity, can get over themselves. The anti-diversity people are clearly prejudice and need to wake up.

Ever since the word woke has been used by Conservatives as a derogatory term, it has lost all of its true meaning. I guess you can say that conservatives that complain too much about wokeness are indeed like those Harley Riders in South Park!

Woke is overused in today's world. Some of the companies on here definitely put political agendas front and center, but it'd be better to call this video Top 10 Boycotts or something and let the viewer draw their own conclusion.

With marvel my problem is them trying to rewrite characters and stories. My favorite marvel character is Jessica Jones a Female detective that's a total badass. She would be a good movie character for a new marvel story.

And Kaepernick using his pull to stop Nike from using a Susan B Anthony flag on the shoes for Independence Day. Saying it's racist.
Anthony was a noted abolitionist. He acts he knows history when he don't know crap

Still love how people thought Kap was being disrespectful. He got the advice to kneel from a former Green Beret. Soldiers will kneel in front of a makeshift memorial for any fallen soldier when on a deployment.

awesome video! Thank you. "Non-binary Marxists for Hamas" is what woke lunatics are pushing as a "cool kid" standard these days. But American people do retaliate - and this is why America is so great.

I feel most of these commenters didn't actually watch the video. This video isn't actually making fun of woke companies, they're talking about the conservatives reactions to them
reply

Now watchmojo is anti-woke now All woke is is a catch-all word for anything black, brown, or lgbtq that certain people hate, that's all. It's a weak AF way of expressing prejudice.

I feel like the Bud brewery had missed a golden opportunity by not having borrowed this slogan from Squidbillies Errupt into a BEVERAGE! this summer with Bud Light.
reply

Disney needs to stop being woke cause they’re ruining our childhood classics like Pinocchio, Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
reply

If Coors did a sponsorship with a Conservative commentator would that be woke And if not, how is it any different than Bud doing a sponsorship with a trans person
reply

I rather be woke than ever associate myself with right wing racists and loser trolls. Those people need to get a life and stop obsessing over misguided culture wars.
reply

Nobody in the world cares about minority or any kind of progressive actions, they only care 'cause of the ESG / DEI, otherwise they couldn't care less about it
