Just a friendly reminder that "woke" means you aren't a self-centered, non-empathetic piece of shit human being. It's not a bad thing.
Heads are already exploding.
As a European, half time shows generally seem overproduced and kinda shit. Like Eurovision without the ironic distance, but with more corporate sponsors.
Bad Bunny was just genuinely great. Never listened to any of his work before, but what a show.
Woke just means being aware of white supremacy. The blues musician lead belly spoke the first recorded instance of the word in reference to the scottsboro boys.
The ignorant use of this term drives me up a wall.
Just like antifa or socialist. They're used pejoratively by people who don't understand them.
Yes, and some use the terms pejoratively while knowing exactly what they mean. Tactical ignorance

I think some I know were freaked out by the halftime being in Spanish, and also they hated the white supremacist alternative.
They did not identify with either show, and felt more insecure.
If hearing someone singing a language you don't understand makes you feel insecure... Well, yeah, maybe you should be a little more exposed to other languages.
US Americans have no excuse for continuing to cling to their ignorance. It has gone far past the point where it's obvious how dangerous it is.

That's fucking pitiful
