What does "pull a woke card" mean? 
 

I haven't been able to understand what woke really means except as a new replacement for "politically correct" or whatever E36 M3 the old people yell to clouds.

So.  It was gone, but now it's not. So functionally nothing has changed?

I dunno, Bro-ceratops.  Combined with the "woke" mentions, it feels like something designed to produce outrage.  Feels like it didn't need to be posted at all?

Just me.

Woke is hard to get into w/o getting political since it's a cultural/political term so here's just a link to wiki where you can self research the topic.

Iirc, there was very big controversy in the photojournalism world a few years ago when it was revealed both this and the famous Iwo Jima Flag raising photo were re-enacted images.

Yes, they happened, but the photos were reshoots.

If so, hard to view this as non-consensual if it is staged.

In reply to Beer Baron 🍺 :

  To be fair, few things exists for no reason. 

  That book is so popular, because this book is also very popular:

If the word Woke was not used, is the message different?  Someone eliminated a photo because feelings were hurt.

I'll go and eliminate the post, but I'm not old (in my head) or a racist.
