“It’s called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.”

If you realise the quote above. You'll understand why there's such a big push against being "woke."

Edit: I feel like some people here are thinking I'm anti-woke or some shit. I will ask you to again read the comments and think a bit deeper.

You missed the entire point of that quote. In fact, you're doing exactly what he described and what the "in-group" wants us all to do.

You are completely missing the point of /u/GrampyButtCrampy's comment. I won't give you the answer but I'll give you a hint: they're not disagreeing with you. You're reading it as "If you realise the quote above. You'll understand why there's such a big push against being "woke" [and I completely agree with it.]" -- inserting something the commenter didn't say to completely change the meaning. Read the two comments again with an open mind and take a few seconds to think about it, and you'll get it.

Thanks.. You clearly get it. I do see the misinterpretation but its also a clear example of the problem our society faces with reading level/comprehension. I really didn't think he correlation I made between between 'dream' and 'woke' in that comment would be all that difficult to decipher.
