Ive not gone to every Smithsonian museum, but ive gone to a couple. And I mean, theyre museums. They're very nice museums, but theyre museums. The information presented lines up pretty well with the history books, they don't take sides, its fine. I will say, Ive heard a ton of people go on and on about how we only ever teach about American slavery in schools to "shame white people" or whatever, but even in the Smithsonian museums they acknowledge the history of slavery beyond chattel slavery. I forget which one it was specifically, it wasn't the African American history one though I know since I didnt go to that one, which had an entire room lined up in chronological order detailing African civilization and its history, and slavery on the continent well before the Europeans arrived, up until the point Europe began buying slaves from African kingdoms, and later would conquer them. So I really dont understand how its "woke." They all seemed very straightforward and not exactly biased in one way or the other

For Trump, woke means anything he doesn’t like 😂. He’s the type of person to call science woke

Woke is not a derogatory term especially coming from someone who is always asleep. 😴
