The Wikipedia page is useful here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke Woke is an adjective derived from African-American English used since the 1930s or earlier to refer to awareness of racial prejudice and discrimination, often in the construction stay woke. The term acquired political connotations by the 1970s and gained further popularity in the 2010s with the hashtag #staywoke. Over time, woke came to be used to refer to a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism and denial of LGBTQ rights. Woke has also been used as shorthand for some ideas of the American Left involving identity politics and social justice, such as white privilege and reparations for slavery in the United States. Like a lot of leftist terms, "woke" been co-opted and intentionally corrupted by the right so that most people will now insist that it refers to a system of anti-white racism, which is a bad faith interpretation of what it represents, and completely disregards the actual history and context of the term. Asking what "woke" means on the internet and expecting any sort of unprejudiced response is about as useful as asking a Klansman to define civil rights or an incel to define feminism. So I encourage people to do their own research and make their own decisions from first, rather than second or third-hand principles.
