- gardenhedge 4y agoNot true. I know many people, including me, that use the word woke and aren't bigots.
- ratg13 4y agoAfter the QAnon crowd started the whole “I’m awake, not woke” thing, I think it became pretty clear that the intent of the word is only used to incite hatred under the guise of poking fun at something ala trump’s penchant for nicknames. I certainly use it as a cue to stop listening to someone.
- rqmedes 4y agoIts frustrating that groups can appropriate words, slogans or sayings and then they can never be used again as they are attached to that context forever :( . Just having to keep up with it all is very tiring.
- gardenhedge 4y agoI'm not too familiar with "QAnon" and neither are most people I know. We all know what woke is though and use it regularly.
