Kind of like the "Karen" is the nosy-neighbor mall cop up in everybody's business meme, we need one for the character that goes around causing these Woke shakedowns. Since Evergreen State College is a template for this style of behavior, maybe "Naima" is the right name here.
So... the Karen thing. Yeah, lots of problems with it, but the meme helps people identify a particular kind of character. With Woke stuff, there are also particular kinds of characters people need to watch out for, particularly bullies who start these Woke shakedowns.
At Evergreen, a media studies professor and activist agitator named Naima Lowe was directly and indirectly responsible for a lot of the whipping-up that led to the college's meltdown. You can see what it looks like here: https://twitter.com/ericrweinstein/status/869992832366395392?lang=en
Right now, I keep hearing from people in a million walks of life, from schools to small businesses to big businesses to government to hobby groups, all telling me how Woke shakedowns have or are proceeding, and there's almost always a Naima, a bully using identity to get power.
I don't mean anything personally against Naima Lowe, and maybe calling her Naima isn't fair, but this character shows up in a lot of courts and causes a lot of problems everywhere she goes. People should be on the lookout for a Naima and basically fire that person ASAP.
Nikole Hannah-Jones, the 1619 Project lady, is the Naima of the New York Times. Look how that's going. They should have fired her as soon as she pushed that fraud but they knew she'd cause big trouble, especially on social media and maybe with lawsuits.
Honestly, you're better off taking the lawsuit than letting a Naima run a racket on your business or institution, which will get wrecked in the process. And, if Trump has taught us anything (like him or not), it's that social media pressure can be stared down and waited out.
Diversity (now antiracist) trainings are basically programs that get installed to groom a few new Naimas while cowing the average person and getting enough sympathetic partisans in place to ensure that when the Evergreening starts, it will go like wildfire. Total racket.
In almost every case I know of where one of these Woke shakedowns or threats of a Woke shakedown have come up, there's a Naima. You really should be on the lookout for such a person.
