What could "wokeness" possibly have to do with cell phones?

Asked by jca2 (16826points) March 22nd, 2023

I administer a group on Facebook, a small group (less than 25) of local people. All of the people in the group are older than I am and a lot of them are my friends.

One of the ladies just posted that she got a new cell phone service, and they’re cheaper than her previous one and they’re “not woke.”

I don’t want to start sh*t because I’m the administrator and because it’s a small group with a bunch of friends in it, but I’m wondering what could or would “wokeness” possibly have to do with cell phone service?

I could mean anything. “woke” to these cretins just means “anything leftists do that I disagree with”. Maybe their previous one had minorities in their advertisements.

Hilarious, especially since AT&T has always been one of the worst cell phone companies for funding right-wing politicians and causes.

Yeah, those “not woke” cell phones operate with two tin cans and some string.

@Dig_Dug
But only if they are painted pink and blue, because otherwise it would be gay.
