A few years ago, the word "woke" exploded into the American lexicon, as Leftist activists used it to describe a state of awareness concerning racial inequalities and social injustices.
It would be good of you to correctly attribute Neil Shinvi for coming up with the phrase, ‘Woke Right’, especially being that you are such a stickler for citations. Your arguments here are very similar to those he has been making for many, many months.
Thanks for bringing this up, Karrie. At the time I wrote my initial article about the "Woke Right," I'd seen it used in various contexts online. However, I could not find any reference, anywhere, to a definitive original source, which I certainly would have cited from the start, had I known who first came up with it.
Neil Shenvi (who also did not coin the term) has since noted that he believes Kevin DeYoung was the first to bring the phrase into the evangelical lexicon to describe this new version of Christian Nationalists., although other secular critics also have used it (note the confusion; even Neil doesn't know for sure who first used the phrase!). I have updated my original article on this movement with an editor's note, including the updated information. and giving Kevin the credit I believe he is owed. If you happen to learn of any previous source for the term before Kevin, please let me know! Thanks again.
Thank you for the context. It can be a bit of a challenge to track down who said what when. I would certainly differentiate between the Woke Right and the Christian Nationalist movement as a whole (again, confusing subject) as I do believe them to be very distinct. Shenvi’s conversation with Joe Rigny on the We Bear Witness podcast was a rarity of a respectful gem in regards to this subject matter. I do appreciate your information and clarification of the subject matter at hand.
