Think you’ve seen it all? Well you haven’t. Even band-aids are “woke” these days

Truth: As a 19/20 year old office gopher at Purdue University (1990/1991), I saw a black woman with a glaring flesh tone (white) Band-aid on her leg as I was walking to class one day. When I arrived to the office I worked in b/n classes, I mentioned this detail to the women I worked for/with. I opted to write Johnson & Johnson (pre internet) to suggest offering this very product. They wrote back that they felt their clear bandages covered this "need". I remember commenting to the group that the cotton pad was still white and obvious on those clear Band-Aids...but in the end, we all just laughed at my "I could have been rich" moment. And now, here we are.
I was not a progressive/liberal then, nor am I now; but I saw the opportunity. It was not a preview of a future "woke" me. "Awake"--yes; "woke"--no.
ahhh just a tad late to cash in on some wokeness
side note : awake vs woke -- why is ok to butcher the english language
i guess awake and awakened were already taken by us pepes. =)
Agreed! I hate the terms I find myself using these days just to be understood.
